SCARCITY OF FOOD
 IN CITY OF VIENNA
At Same Time, Pressburs, Fifty Miles Away, Lives in the Lap of
 Luxury.

Pressburg, Slovakia, Dec 1S.--No- where in Europe exists such a sharp contrast in food conditions as between this place and Vienna While the great city 50 miles away goes hungry and meatless day follows meatless day. here is food in abundance, and cheap. Iheer were six meats on the dinner card of a hotel here today and every winter vegetable the climate affords Whipped cream. butter and cheese 1fesh eggs, white sugar and pastry are to be had in every restaurant The ho- tels are steam heated and smoke issues from every chimney
 This was the rich hinterland of vienna before the disruption and poured the products of it's fertile fields into the capital. Now a new political boundary intervenes and not one pound of supplies may pass into Aus tria The cars of the broad gauge electric line may not cross the iron tier. Passengers descend at the bord CT and walk several hundred yards to an- other car and soldier guards at both the Austrian and -SlOva kian sides search everyone carefully Pass ports are examined as if war prevailed.
 4 business man of this city admit ted to the correspondent that the re- zion could export food in appreclab1e quantities as well as large quantities of hreWoOd But the Austrian crown 1s so cheap and government regula- tions against sending food from the country so rigid that no negotiations seem possible.

Sufficient Machinery Installed ill East Berlin Plant r
WILL EMPLOY TWENTY-FIVE
This Number Will Increase, However, When Plant Gets Under Way-E'or- esters E1ect-AspinwaH Protests Zone Fare-Othcr Berlin News.

Fhe Connecticut Metal & Chemical Co. will begin operation at their East Berlin plant Monday morning, all the machinery necessary to begin produc- ton having arrived. General Manager William Rowland stated this morning the lead recovery department would be the first to begin operations. When asked how many employees the com panS would engage at the beginning, he~said about 25, this mum Der being all necessary just now. Machinery for the rest of the factory is coming in rather slow, and until it's arrival the rest of the factory cannot operate.
 Eventually the greater part of the New Britain division of the company will be brought to East Berlin Mana ger Rowland stated. He could not tell when this would be, however The general belief in the town is that the city branch will be transferred upon the completion of the 300 foot build ing now in the course of construction. Mr. Rowland stated he did not believe the new building would be completed within three or four months. The of- I flee, for the East Berlin division has been completed
 Manager Rowland made denial of the statement made the other day that 15 employees of the company had been obliged to take temporary quarters in the company's office, because of the lack of housing accomm odations. All employees are housed and no complaint has arisen. Several East Berlin resi- dents have stated in the past several weeks they would esta blish a boarding house and lunch room if suitable pat ronage was guaranteed. The Hathe- l way place formerly acconnm odated some of the employees of the old Peck, Stow & Wilcox plant but the dwelling g 1 has since been sold leaving no avail ] able boarding house.
