SURPLUS GETTING TO BE
 LABOR FAMINE

The labor surplus in Connecticut is becoming a. labor famine. Captain H. c. Billings, who Is in charge Of soldiers employment work in Con- necticut brought this news to Bridge port today.
 In Danbury, Norwich, Torr1ngton. Bristol, Meriden and Stamford all of the semi-skilled help has been ab- sorbed. There Is a shortage of skill ed and unskilled help. Especially IS there a shortage of labor, for pick and shovel.
 Bridgeport has a surplus. There are perhaps 300 service men Who need employment
 New Haven has some idle workers From both cities daily go numbers of men, to towns where their work IS needed.
 Captain Billings suggested today. that it will be wise on the part Of all employers to put on all the men they can carry for protection against the approa ching time when they Will want help and not be able to get it.

Method Of Obtaining
 Contributions Scored
PUBLIC QUESTIONS RIGHT OF SOCIETIES TO EMPLOY POLICE TO FORCE PEOPLE TO GIVE TO TAG DAY WORKERS.

No little amount of indignation was expressed by people in various por- tions of the city over the methods employed to collect funds for the Wis itine Nurses Association last Satur- day. Wherever a traffic officer was stationed he had instructions to hold up every vehicle and demand that the driver or the occupants give a cer- tain amount. His words gave the im- pression that it was obligatory and rather than get into an extended ar gument people would contribute. In many places other than the usual traffic officer stations policemen were working with the taggers. There was one on Congress street bridge and ev- cry conveyance was halted, especially jitneys, who were compelled to hand over 25 cents before they were allow ed to go ahead. Where the driver paid the occupants of the car were not levied upon.
 In the center of the city women were working with the policemen. The officers would halt the car and the women would bel1 the people the smallest amount that would be ac- cepted. As a usual thing that was every cent they received as many who would have given more would not submit to coercion
 It would be rather interesting to great many people to know where the taggers and the police obtained the authority to use such tactics. Perhaps it was permissible in war time, but even then the procedure was very much open to question and is decidedly more so now that the ex- egincy has passed.

 TRIOMPHE-GUNS SALUTE

Paris, July 14-The trium- phal march of Allied and American troops through Paris began at eight o'clock this morning. The brilliant wealth CT was more like October than midsummer. A thousand wounded soldiers with crutch- es or in wheel chairs, and clad for the most part in civilian clothes, led the parade, pre- ceded by a drum corps.

Behind him came Marshal Foch, the commander in-chief of the Allied forces during the final campaign of the conflict.

PRIVATE STOCK COULDN'T
 FIND HIS HOME

LeRoy Gibbi of 456 Warren street, was able to tap some privake supply to the extent of two quarts of tho drink that inebriates as well as cheers. The result was extremely dis astrous to Gfbbi as he found himself at police headquarters facing charge of attempted burglary.
 So unbalanced was Gibbi after his potations that though he made stren- uous but futile endeavors to find his own home he was not successful. In the course of his efforts he tried to get into several other houses in the neigborhood, mistaking them for his own abode.
 After the court heard the cfrcum- stances in the case and investigated Gibbi's record the charge was changed to breach of the peace and sentence suspended,

Commissioner Says Injury Did Not Arise During
 Course of Employment.

Two decisdons were handed down by Compensation Conn missioner D. T. Buckingham today. In one he de- cides in favor of the dependents of workman who was killed and in the other in favor or the employer.
 Dorninick Cabagrande, an Italian citizen, was killed on September 4, 1918. while employed by the T. A Scott Company. He left a widow and two children who resided in Italy. Before the award the widow died and the two children became entitled to the compensation.
 The law provides that non-resi- dents are entitled to only one-half the regular compensation and Com missioner Buckingham decided that the children, Teckla and Jealice Cab agrande, should receive $7 week for 312 weeks with s100 funeral ex- penses. This with the usual reduc- tions was made an award of a lump sum of $2,2o5.21. Of this amount 1t was ordered that $45O be paid to Shapiro & Shapiro for legal services and the balance of s1,55521, to John Laurensetti as guardian for the chill dren.
 Michael Way of Beuna place, claimed that while he was in the employ of the Crane Co. he was com- ing out of the lavatory when a fellow employe threw a burlap bag at him and in trying. to dodge the bag he slipped and fell, breaking his leg.
 The Crane Co. produced testimony to show that at the time Way slip ped he was trying to pick up the bag to throw it at the man who had thrown it at him.
 The commissioner decided that the injury did not arise out of or in the course of his employment and denied his claim to compensation.

 While the committee was in sess:on President Wilson discussed various phases or the treaty, particularly the onantunS settlement, with Sena torj who called at the White House. On this point it was the president point- ed out that necessarily the American peace commissioners could not i,,l- pose their complete will on the ne:ycc conference and were compelled to accept some things in the treaty which they personally disa pproved. inc president also was said to have explained that consideration had To be given the treaty between the AL lies and Japan, made before the Uni ted States entered the war, by which the material German interests in Shantung were pledged to Japan.
 The President said to have told ms visitors that the treaty did not give Japan any political rights in shantung and in Kiachau, but only economic rights which would termin- ate in 60 to 70 years.
 Japan's delegates at Versailles, the President was said to have told his K callers, were instruc ed not to sign he treaty until the Japan-AIlicj reaty provisions regarding Shantung were adhered to.

lish historian Hume, and the Amer
lean politician Franklin, and pre-
scented them in systematic form with
elaborate proofs derived from his
tory.
