INDEPENDENT GERMAN SOCIAL
iSTS DO NOT WANT BLAME

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Berlin, March e.-Newspapers ap-
pear to be OF the opinion that the
strike movement has reached climax,
and that there are indications that the
political issues involved Will find early
adjustment through negotiations going
on at Weimar. The Independent So
cialists seem to be backing away from
the movement now, and to be endeav-
oring to unload the responsibility for
the outbreak onto the Spartacans, who
are accused of having precipitated the
strike before organization plans had
been thoroughly perfected. The slogan,
Down with Ebert and Scheldemann,"
is no longer given prominence In the
agitation. The vorwaerts, the Social
ist organ, states 1t believes an under
standing will be reached in the course
of the day Gustav Noske, minister of
defense, has ordered the troops to ar
rest all strikers or leaders of strikes
who are guilty of rioting or intimidat-
ing workmen.
The Ebert government published the
draft of a general socialization law
socializing coal mines would be sub
mitted to the federal council. The draft
is drawn in the most brief and most
general terms and reserves for the ma
tiOnal government the field Of legisla-
ton covering the socialization of in
dustry, particularly coal mines and
water, electric and other power. 1t
adopts the principle that the control
of industries by bodies OF self-admin-
lstrative character under national su-
pervision is of universal Importance.

urated a movement to seize Koenigs-

ALDERMAN CORNELL DEMANDS REFERENDUM ON BONDS AND
 SAYS GRAND LIST IS WATERED

his resolution verbally but Alderman Cornell demanded that it be put in writing and a five minute recess was taken for this purpose.
 After the recess, Alderman Blakes- lee read the resolution as follows: "Inasmuch as the Finance Advisory committee has had insufficient time to submit it's report and as Friday is the last day to introduce new busi- ness in the legislature, the Bridgeport senators and representatives be given the opportunity to submit a blanket net, giving the City of Bridgeport the right to issue bonds and notes for general physical development"
 Following Alderman Cornelrs ad- dress Alderman Hogan and Alderman Ford placed themselves on record as favoring a referendum on the matter. Alderman Hogan said: "I thing the man who presents such & resolution puts himself in the position of mas ter instead of servant of the people of his community"
 Alderman Ford asked that a refer endum amendment be attached to the resolution and after Mayor Cliff ford B. Wilson had made use of a great part of his vocabulary of sarcasm in telling Alderman Hogan that it was a physical impossibility to attach a verbal matter to a written resolution, he condescended to give the alderman some benefit of his learntugs while at the legislature The mayor said: Many bills are in troduced into the legislature with the intention of having them referred tc committee and out of that commit tee Il bill much changed in character Is brought to the legislature. I think the proper place for the insertion o1 referendum amendment would be in the committee"

Strongly assalling resolution to : the effect that the Bridgeport sem / ators and represe entatives be given the i opportunity to submit 10 the legtsla- ture a blanket act giving Lhe city of { Bridgeport tho right to issue bonds and notes for general physical devel- opment, Alderman John A. Cornell. 3Democrat, at last nights meeting ot ! the board, declared the grand list wa , tered for the express purpose of issu-
 ing bonds.
 Alderman Cornell said: If I am correctly informed the city Is in such a plight that 1t is unable to pay it's tpolicemen, firemen and school teach CTS unless permission is granted for { an enormous bond issue. This IS a dangerous situation and Is leading to municipal bankruptcy.
 T believe that a matter of such im- port shour6 bo submitted to the peo- ple," said Alderman Cornell in asking for a. referendum on the subject. My
 anformation on certain phases of the subject says that the financial. ad- v1sory committee has agreed to a
 proposition to cut out the erection of schools and spend $1. 0oo GOO for streets. This is a. crying sheime.'
 Alderman Cornell delivered a 20- minute address on bond issues and { pointed cut the dangerous ground on i which the city was startling.
