FRANCE UPSET BY DELAY OF TREATY
 AND OTHER THINGS
Parisians Reduced to Single Choice of Newspapers and to Being Socialist or
 Anti-SOcialist
Hr PIERRr vnIrERN.

Paris November 25.-(By Mail.)-Life is dear but it is becoming more simple. The striking printers have reduced us to two shades of newspapers; the politicians have reduced us to two shades of political opinion. In Paris today one reads the socialist newspaper or the non-socialist newspaper; and in politics we are social ists or non-sociaiists. What is more, thanks to our rrofiteers. we are rich or we are not rich; we buy or we do not buy. There Is nc middle course in these thinga
 And one could multiply them endlessly. even to saying that when you read that all Par,s is dancing, it is not true; danc- ing Is not what it used to be in Paris it's conventionalities are only for the mi tiated Therefcre-one dances or one does not dance. "V1ve-la, vive-la, vive la vie simplei''
 One might suppose that there would be little complaint against these gentlemen of the press, politics and the dance, who have thus simpiifed the problems of iife' but We are not grateful Americans, ac- customed to their free and aboundina choice cf their daily 50-page volumes. will be more ready tu sympathize with Us n our newspaper restrictions than in those of our politica. and terpsichorean deYo- tions. since m the latter they also ma themselves reduced, think to being pro- Wilson or anti-Wilson and jazzeur or noa- tazzeur. But fer us who know no better in ordinary times than to accept SIX page journal as Q modern newspaper. ene least hardship Of the three is to have inc whole press of Paris reduced to two congloraerate sheets
 Politics and the dance, however. theS@ are serious matters. There was & time De- fore the war and all it's after effects tndt are er.dearing and simplifying life, wheii everv y,arisian had his own views in poll tics and his own steps in the ballroom, One did not ask his friend outright IF those days what were his political views, he could not have told you outrish1-i. needed a quiet evening at little taoie over a few coffees and perhaps bottle of wine. Nor would it have been thought polite for young lady to chill the souit of her fascinated companion, as }s so often done today, by asking nm quile carly in their acquaintance, DO yoa know the new dancesg'
 All dances were correct, all opinions fn- terestiug. in those distant days It means nothing now that in the new Champer there will still be nine or ten parties or groups: there will be only two opinlons Gone is the halo of romance that usea to hang over the royaiists ana bonap s;t,, fists. 10 longer do they threaten us wltn ESines or consul: they are mere bricks III fhe wall raised against the tide or so- ciaIisrn.

party, whose victory in the elections wal, foreseen, attracted even the extremists or the right, while the extremists of the left have been engulfed by the combined forces of constitutional socialism.
 What was no. foreseen by anyone was that the victory for ant-socialist opinion would be so great. It was not only greater than was expected, but greater than the proportion of votes warrants, for owing to the system adopted by which votes were cast for Il list of candidates instead of for individuals, the representation of anti-sccialist forces in the Chamber will far exceed in proportion their nsa iority of votes. This will not be sl good Mins among q people that has now been taught to be either socialist or anti-socalist: it will mean that socialism among tho reo-
 pie will be stronger than it is in tho Chamber and so may seek other and more
 dangerous means of experssing Itself
 I might add to the catalogue Of dualisms to which we are reduced. that
 in Paris one is today either pro- American or an anti-American, and. if the truth be permitted. probably anti American. The action of your Senate in failing to ratify the peace treaty is. in the popular view. an unkindness to France, and those are not few who are now so blind as to say as the italians are fond of saying, that Amer S mind us that it was American influ- ence that decided against the constitu-
 tion of an armed force for the League of Nations with which we hoped to
 consolidate our protection against
 Germany. Whether they are justified
 or not in this backward glance over
 controversial ground and in spite of
 the narrowness of the idea that the
 fate of France had any important in
 fluence on the deliberation of the Sem ate, it is still true that persons of well-informed and sober judgment are much concerned about the situation. If your Senate ratfies the special agreement entered into with England and the United States, for the protec- rest. England has already ratified her part of it. But even this agree ment with England does not come into effect until the signature of President Wilson to this pact is ratified by your Senate. 1t is a common, if narrow opinion which one encounters every where today that if your Senate rat flies this special agreement the League of Nations. an American creation, can be destroyed by America without be- ing mourned by one tear from France. What most alarms us is that those who profess this view themselves ex- nress little hope of the special agree ment being ratified if the treaty, and the League of Nations with it, is finally rejected.
 If is useful. believe. to tell these facts, even if they do not reflect great credit on the French mind of the mo ment because they will explain per Ina ps whatever may be heard that | seems to lack appreciation of the un- forgettable generosity Of America in | the darkest d. ys of the war.

PLANNING ID BRING
 DOWN LIVING COST
British Labor Convinced That Continued Higher
 Wages Is Not Solution
px K. wALrER

London, December 11.--(Reciprocal News Service 1.-The labor parliament setting in Westminster has sent chal- lenge across the square to the mother of parliaments. Bring down the cost of living, it says, or die in the attempt. Besides long list of specific proposals for deaIinfg with necessary foodstuffs,' this challenge is an undercurrent of all deliberations of the congress.
 Wage disputes .are now recognized as quite secondary to this issue. Brit ish labor is going to refuse to squeeze the public by an endless race between unions and profiteers. The public stands dizzily in the middle of the vicious circle around which rising prices chase each other like two wild cats. Labor now demands stabiliza- tion of wages and prices.
 Hitherto the whole industrial force of the movement had been devoted tq increasing wages regardless of its eff feet upon prices. The change of policy is fundamental. It inaugurates con structive policy in which the consumer is as much interested as the producer. How the consumer will regard labor's plans to put this policy of economic stabilization into effect remains to be seen. The proposals are varied, Labor has no panacea. The programme is not based on socialism or any other so- cial theory. Prices on different food stuffs are affected by different condir tons of production and distribution Labor wants each problem tackled on its own merits.
 Listening to the debates of these and other issues, one might have thought it a consumers congress, so consistently did the delegates maintain that point of view in their speeches. Coal was discussed as basic factor in determining prices. Labor con- tends that the best way to get cheap coal is by standardization X campaign for nationaliziug the mines will be part of the whole programme of the eco homie stabilization. They apply the same argument to some of the prob lems of transportation. But natonali- zation a panacea disappears, and with it the threat to compel the counry to accept it willingly. They believe they have the facts to prove their cases, in which they demand that na- tionalization is the most effective means of eliminating waste and abol- ishing profiteering. They propose. to persuade the country to adopt the merits of each case in which they recommend it.
 fundamental change of .organiza- tion, also is in progress from today A general staff is to be set up demo- craticalyl elected. not to boss the movement. but to unify the political. industrial and cooperative sides of it
 Thus, discarding. at once theoretic dogmatism in policy and sectarianfsm in organization. unifying tendencies and its activities. discarding the class war by identifying itself with the in- terests of the consumer, the British labor movement takes the most impor- tant step toward national power in it's recent history.

REELECTION PROMISES FOR
 SALARY RAISES
Mayor Won't Comment on Report Anent Con
 ferences.

Bridgeport policemen, firemen, school teachers and city employees generally are getting prediction promises of salary increases to be included in the next budget passed by the Boand of ApportiOnment it was learned today.
 Mayor Wilson declined to comm ent on a report received from authorita- tive sources that he had conferred with two policemen, two firemen and two school teachers with regard to salary increases.
 Asked if he thought the salaries of these city employees should be in- creased. the mayor deliberated for two minutes and then replied: Yes, do"
 Asked if he thought the increases for policemen, firemen and teachers should be made general and granted to all employees of the city, the mayor again asserted and mentioned the em- ployes of the Department of Public Works. Tt costs them as much to live as the others. Reporters have gotten salary increases. haven't they?'' asked the mayor. This idea was cor Tected.

Vincent Holding Himself Free For
 Any Nomination

Asked today if he would abide by the result of the Democratic conven- ton in which his name will be used if he does not get the regular party nomination, A. E. Vincent today mado it clear to q Times representative that he is holding himself entirely free to accept any nomination, if he should decide to be a. candidate
 ''I am not a politician, I haven't declared myself g. candidate for any hing and above all I am not crossing bridges until I come to them," said MT. Vincent.
 It was pointed out to MT. Vincent t1lat his name has been frequently used and that nothing was known of any effort of his to prevent this and that his attitude implied acceptance of the candidacy status, even if he had not expressed himself. To this MT. Vincent smiled and replied that if any 1ne regarded him favorably for any ID 9si'i Il or office, he W uld hardly be inclined to find fault with them.

Senator Clark Appears To Lead
 For Nomination

On the eve of the Democratic pri- f1aries. with interest at the highest pitch it has attained in @ local cam paign in a number of years, Senator George B. Clark, appears to have the lead in nine city districts over the field of candidates for the party nom nation Nothing is certain in poll tics. but unless there is @ new turn, Clark will get the party nomination.
 As it stands today, a survey of the situation shows that nine of the 12 city districts are harmonious. These nine districts will send 45 delegates to the convention and of the 45, an in vestigation shows that Clark has 22, or one less than majority of them, the remaining 23 being divided be- tween John A. Cornell, Jr., and A. F. Vincent. The delegates of the three districts in which there are contests, namely the Third.s Fourth, Twelfth. are not by any means certain, but the Clark packers are claiming at least 10 of them. With the 22 already chosen from the nine districts in which there is no contest, Clark would have one more than the necessary convention majority required to nomi- nate
 The Cornell packers and those working for the party nomination for Vincent will not give up the fight un- til there is no longer any question and will doubtless make efforts in be- ha1f of their respective candidates on khA. floor of the convention.

MILL OPERA TORS AT CHICAGO TO ENDEA VOR TO FORGE HAND
 OF STRIKING WORKMEN
At Gary, Ind, Citizens Form a Protective
 League. MORE TICKETS
 ARE PUT OUT

Chicago, Sept 2g-A test of strength between steel mills and strik- ing workmen was expected to develop today throughout the Chicago district, following the announcement that an attempt would be made to put in op- eration a number of plants closed by the strike.
 Union leaders put out many addi- tional pickets early in the day with instructions to endeavor to prevent the return of men to the mills. Chiefs of police and sheriffs in districts where the steel mills are located or dered out reserve officers and placed them at points where they believed clashes might occur.
 At Gary, Ind, besides the regular police force and many deputy sher- ifs the 600 members of a recently organized citizens league were ready to respond should any serious disturb ance arise. The Chicago police au- thorities were ready to send several hundred patrolmen to South Chicago in case of any disorder around the steel mills there. At Waukegan 300 deputy sheriffs have been sworn in to preserve the peace.
 No serious disorders were reported anywhere in the district during the first week of the strike, and union leaders said instructions to strikers were to observe the law.

 IN JOHNSTOWN

Pittsburgh, Sept. 29-Reports from corporations, union headquarters, po- lice and other sources in the Pitts burgh district today did not indicate a substantial change in the steel workers strike, which has now enter ed upon its second week.
 No serious break was reported at the large independent plant of the Jones & Laughlin Company in this city, against which the unions had announced an intensive campaign to shut down the works. A company representative said that about the same number of men as reported last week were al the works today, while at union headquarters it was reported that fewer workers answered ' the whistle than on any other day since the strike started.
 The Pennsylvania works of the National Tube Company in this city which closed last week, opened for operations today. but whether pro- duction will amount to much cannot be stated until late in the day

SUNDAY MORNING CALM SHATTERED
 BY BIC WHISTLE
People Living Near Graph Plant Thought They'd
 Slept Til Monday.

Awakened from their peaceful slumbers yesterday morning at 2 o'clock by the raucous blast of a whistle, people living in the vicinity of the East End plant of the Ameri- can Graphophone Company thought at first they had slept until Monday morning. At 20 minutes after seven this opinion seemed to be confirmed by another shr4ek from the trumpet Surely it couldn't be Sunday with the factory calling in the hands to work and a terrible din shaking the still ness of the Sabbath calm.
 The vicinity of the Graphophone plant is populated with those who for the most part are workers. To have the peace of the one morning in the week in which they are able to rest shattered in an unnecessary manner was annoying to say the least.
 This plant is not very far removed from the Bridgeport hospital; in fact, it is a little more than outside the zone of quiet" The tremendous whistle which the company installed cannot fail to be an annoyance to the patients as 1t blows several times during the day and at 12 o'clock at night. Just why the various shifts cannot be apprised of the time by means of a bell inside the factory is not determinable.
 When this plant came to its pres ent site 1t was guaranteed it would constitute no nuisance to the resi- dents nearby. At times there is a distinct odor that to many is most unpleasant and the noisesome whis- tie Is most irritating. Furthermore, the uproar made by the factory at night is almost unbearable and it is a wonder that any who reside near 1t are enabled to sleep. The matter is really one for the Board of Health to take up and decide as to whether or not Sunday at least cannot be free from the noise of the factory and that the whistle remain quiet on that day.

LEAVING
 LONDON OBLIGED TO
 REDUCE SCHEDULES
100000 Miners in Wales Are Idle and Irish Railroads May be Tied Up - Motor LOrries Used to Bring Food to London - Outlook is Alarming.

London, Sept. 29-Improvement in the situation created by the general strike on the British railways was announced in official quarters this morning. The distribution of food was being carried out without friction and volunteer help was being freely offered, it was stated.
 The official communique from Downing street read:
 The general strike situation is i'm proving. The government measures are working satisfa ctorily. Food dis tribution is proceeding smoothly and offers of voluntary assistance are still pouring in."
 Railroads running out of London will attempt to operate trains on skeleton schedules today, according to announcement. It is hoped thus to cope with the strike situation which brought about an almost total suspension of traffic yesterday in this city and which has virtually paralyzed all English roads.
 Ninety per cent. of the railroad workers in Scotland are idle, but a few trains were run there on Sunday for the carrying of passengers and
