BRANCH OF LABOR PARTY
 AGAINST ACTION

Members of the American Labor party in Hartford looked with dis favor on the action of the Bridgeport branch of the party in endorsing the Democratic candidates at the city election on Tuesday, and Timothy M. Crowley, state organizer and chair man, said yesterday that all other To- cal branches in Connecticut have adopted resolutions against endorsing candidates of other parties or allow. ing labor candidates to accept outside support.
 The state convention of the Labor party will be held in New Haven next Sunday and much interest is taken by members here in the question whether Bridgeport will be represent ed. The party in that city has lately been controlled by a rather radical element not in entire sympathy with the policies of the state organization, and it is believed that the down state branch will not send delegates. It is hoped, however, to have strong la Dor party organized in Bridgeport for the next state election. The endorse ment of the Democratic candidates in that city caused much surprise among labor leaders here.-Hartford Courant.

STAMFORD FILES PROTEST AGAINST
 ZONE SYSTEM

Claiming that the new rate of fare collections by the Connecticut Com pany is excessive and unreasonable" " Stamford has filed a protest with the Public Utilities Commission, asking that said zone system be discontin- ued and the former rate of fare es- tablished." In answer to this peti- ton the commission yesterday senr to the town of Stamford a letter in which was stated that more protests were expected, and that no date would be set for a hearing on this particular protest at the present time After the protests are all in the com mission will make a date for a hear ing in order to expedite matters and to have all the protests heard at the same time.
 1. That said zone system be dis continued and the former rates of fare re-esta abIished.
 ? That the enforcement of the rates now being charged under said zone system be suspended until the final determination of the matters in- volved in this petition.
 Most of the lines in Stamford are affected by the new zone system, but thac line running from Stamford, go- ing south to Cos Cob. Greenwich and other towns to the New York state line, is owned by a New York Trans portation Company, and consequently the zone system doesn't affect patrons riding on that line.

GEN. COLE ASKS
 WAR DEPT. ON NATIONAL GUARD

Washington, Nov. 5-Adjutant- General George NJ. Cole of Hartford. Conn, was here today and spent con- siderable time at the war department talking over with the head of the militia bureau the details involved in connection with the proposed reorgan- zation of a National Guard in Con- necticut.

F BAN LIFTS
 SALOONS GAN OPEN AT ONCE
This Applies to Dealers Who Have Applications
 On File

Hartford, Nov. 6-EIany of those who have applications pending have shown an interest or account of the feeling that the wartime prohibition ban will be soon lifted, and, in view of this they called on the commits sioners and have asked in reference to the licenses. There is no cause. however, for any of the applicants 10 worry, because, should the wartime prohibition ban suddenly be lifted, the commissioners are of the opinion that all dealers who have applications on file. would have the legal right tc open their places and immediately be- gin the sale of liquor, even though the physical licenses for which they have applications pending were not delivered to. them.
 In discussing the situation yester- day the commissioners said that their belief was that a man who has an ap- pIcation on f'z would be Justified and he would have a legal right to open and engage in the sale of liquor in case of a sudden lifting, or re- moval of the wartime prohibition feature, ~as they have acted in good faith by t5a filing of their applica- tiOns and bonds. If, for instance, is ordinary times, anything happened on a day preceding the day on which the commissioners had planned to issue licenses, by which the licenses were destroyed, it would be unrea- sonable to hold. they say, that a man who had filed his application and bond in good faith could not continue business but would have to close until the commissioners had a new batch of license forms printed. Also in the case of remonstrances. If an appeal is taken from the decision O. the commissioners as to an estab- Ished dealer, be the appeal from the decision taken by the applicant, or by the remanstrants, the applicant has the right by the law, to sell un- der his old license, even though the term for which it was issued has ex- pired. until the appeal is decided by the suDerior court.

RUSSIAN REDS
 SOW REVOLT
 SEEDS IN U. S.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The Rus sian Bolsheviki "have availed them selves of every opportunity to initiate in the United States a propaganda aimed to bring about the forcible overthrow of our present form of government" William Phillips, assist ant secretary of state, asserted in a letter to Senator Wadsworth, of New York, chairman of the Senate Mill tary Committee, made public yester- day at the State Department.
 The letter was in reply to an in quiry from Senator Wadsworth ask ing why the administration had adopted a policy of non-intercourse with BolShevik Russia.
 MT. Phillips pointed out the import ance of preventing the entry into the United States through commercial transactions of the large quantity of gold which the Bolsheviki have a: their disposal, and which could be used in the United States "'to sustain their propaganda of violence and un- reason"
 Food Withheld From Bolshevil>i.
 The United States also has adopted a policy of non-intercourse with Rus sia, MT. Phillips wrote, to prevent American food supplies being used to ald the BolSnSVlkl III tleil piosi e1tii of political oppression through mani pulation of the food supply so as to bring about the extinction of the middle classes.
 Efforts are still being made, how ever, MT. Phillips said, to provide for the many innocent people within the Bolshevik lines. He added that relief was being sent to the people in areas recently freed from Bolshevik con trol, and other stores are being pro- vided for the relief of the Petrograd region in the event of its liberation.
