BROTHERHOODS WILL CONSIDER
 HINES OFFER
Expect to Give Answer On Overtime Proposal
 In Week

Cleveland, Nov. -17-Heads of the four railroad brotherhoods met here today to consider Director General Hines offer of overtime payment on slow freight service. They hope to be able to give an answer within a week.
 Those attending the conference in c1uded W. G. Lee of the Trainmen; Timothy Shea, of the Bremen and Enginemen; Warren s. Stone, of the Engineers, and L. F. Shepard of the Conductors.
 Director General Hines has offered overtime payment in an unusual way, and the offer requires consideration for that reason, MT Lee said. Rail- roaders receive a days payfor each 100 miles they make within eight hours. Most of them complete their runs in that time, while those com pleting their runs in less time receive full eight hours pay.
 Where more than eight hours is consumed, railroaders have only been paid at the regular rate for eight hours, and MT. Hines view is that this should be adjusted in fairness to slow freight men, MT. Lee declared.

21) DEALERS FILE APPLICATIONS TO
 DISPENSE LIQUOR
Last Day Brings Surpris ing Rush of Applica-
 tions.

Today was the last opportunity for local liquor dealers to file application with the county commissioners for re- newal of licenses and at noon 21O had been recorded. The commission CTS stated that a few dealers would probably appear before the close of business this afternoon and thus in crease the total number of applica- tions.
 The sudden rush of applicants was a surprise in view of the fact that the dealers were so reluctant at first to apply. The first day for applica- tions was November 1 and in past years many were recorded on that day.
 This year the day passed without one dealer asking for renewal and it was not until the last few days that the app1fca tions began to come in to any great extent.
 An agent for a local brewing com pany brought in 39 applications this morning. He said the great majority of local dealers would apply for re- newals. There were BIO licenses issued in this city last year so the number next year will probably fall short of the previous years showing.

Announced He Intends tc Occupy All of
 Istria

Plume. Sunday, Nov. 16-(By The Associated Press)-Gabriele D'An- nunzio's latest exploit appears to have made him master of the entire Dal- mat;an coast. It secured the ad- herence to his side, 1t has developed of Admiral Milo, commander of the Italian occupation forces in Dalma- tia, thus giving D'Annunzio a contin- uous command from the Austro-1tai- ian armistice line, north of Plume southward to Ragusa, just to the north of Cettinje, covering all the ap- breaches to the Dalmatiap coast.
 Four warships, including a dread nought, and four todpedo boat de- stroyers, also have been added to the D'Annunzio naval command, giving him a formidable weapon with which to maintain his present position.
 It is announced that D'Annunzio will occupy all of Istria which is be- ing considered by the peace confer ence, including the sections which Foreign Minister Titoni proposes spe- ical compromise into an independent state.
 Admiral Milo, Italian commander of the Dalmatian occupation forces, has gone over to the cause of Ga briele DAnnunzio, swearing complete loyalty to the poet and declaring that not one Italian soldier will leave soil included in the pact Of London.

S175,OOO SUIT RESULTS FROM
 LAND DISPUTE
Friedman Claims Promise : Was Made to Sell Prop
 erty For $160,000.

The $175,000 suit brought against Senator George B. Clark, by Samuel Friedman of this city as the result of dispute about the purchase of East Main street property, is assigned for trial in the superior court tomorrow. The property in dispute is located on the west side of East Main street be- tween Nichols street and Evitt's lane.
 Friedman claims that on May 2, 1918, Clark agreed to buy the prop erty for S160,000. He declares he af- terward rendered Clark deed to the premises but Clark refused to carry out the contract.
 Clark states that on the day after the contract was signed Friedman went into bankruptcy and although Clark demanded possession of the property from Friedman's trustee he was unable to get any satisfaction. It is denied that Friedman rendered a deed to Clark and the latter says that Friedman was not able to give deed, as he claimed.

New York On Milk
 Strike Consumers Band To- getl1er to Thus Lower
 Its Price. CHILDREN NOT
 AMONG STRIKERS

New York, Nov. 17-Milk drivers, whose recent threat of a strike won them an increase of pay and sent milk prices up, found a consumers strike in progress in many parts of New York this morning when they made their early morning deliveries.
 Hanging on doors of many homes and apartments were signs reading milk strike-no milk wanted here until Thursday"
 The strike was called by the com munity councils of National Defense and strikers who observe the re- commentators of the council will ab- stain from the use of milk on Mon days, Tuesday ana Wednesday of every week until the price of that comm odity is lowered.
 The strike call, however, does not affect persons under four years of age who are privileged to drink milk without mourning the ennity of the ''union."
 Producers and distributors of milk have protested against the "strike, " asserting that if 1t is made effective the result will be that many produc- CTS will be obliged to go out of busi- ness, thus decreasing the milk SUD- ply. Health Commissioner Copeland also has protested against abstention from the use of milk, predicting such course would impair the health ot the community.

CLAIM MADE TONS OF SUGAR
 SHIPPED HERE
New York Boat Alleged to Have Brought In Huge
 Sh pments

Where is the sugar going to that is being brought into Bridgeport? That is a question that is causing considerable speculation among the people about the docks and freight yards who see large quantities arrive both by boat and railroad.
 One man who is familiar with the freight situation says that the New York boat has brought up between five and ten tons at every trip for the past week. He understands that most of it is carted. around to Whiting street, and put aboard cars which are held on sidings, where the owners are keeping it, waiting for the price to advance.
 His inquiries have led him to be- ieve that the people who have been hoardjng the sugar in and about New York are now shipping to outlying points, like Bridgeport, in order to escape the government agents who are rounding up the sugar hoarders throughout the country.

 The prohibitionist campaigner's eye sight has been permanently impaired, It is said, and it is considered doubt full whether the second operation will save his sight.

LONDON WOMEN ARE BRIDGE
 CRAZY

London, Nov 17-"Wi1l some ons introduce a lady to a London bridge club with vacancies? Good social standing. First class references
 That was an advertisement which appeared in the personal column of a London paper not long ago, and it helps to illustrate the remarkable ra- pidity with which the bridge club has returned to favor since the end of the war. It is true that to an extent card clubs for women f1ourished right through the years of fighting, but they have become far more general during the last year, and there is every in- dication of a big boom during the coming winter, particularly with re- gard to bridge.
 It is very difficult to find a woman's card club with vacancies; very many of them indeed have a goodly waiting list of members who want to be. This applies both to the ultra fashionable clubs, which, spell ruin to any woman who has not got an elastic banking circle" which caters for the most everyday woman.
 A woman member of West End bridge club says that quite a trade has grown up round card club member ships, owing to the difficulty of secur- ing vacancies. Many women are glad to pay a substantial bonus for an in troduction to club and though re- putable clubs discourage any such dealings there is no doubt that good deal of it goes on sub rosa. The same woman added that women play for higher stakes than was formerly the case; many women belong to more than one card club and play regularly each day. Once the fasci- nation of it grips a womdn to such an extent it is as bad as any drug.
 Shopkeepers also declare that the number of women's card clubs hs- increased considerably during the last few weeks, Judging from the de- mand for card and card playing re- quisites.
 Moreover, it is said, there is a p4< ticular increase in the number of Little Women's Clubs''-circles of a few women friends who meet at each others houses several afternoons or evenings each week. The members of such would dispute it being called a. card club; nevertheless it is so and comparatively such little clubs'' do even more harm with the every day women who belong to them than the harm which is caused by the exclusive fashionable card clubs among women whose incomes are not ritally affected even by biz 1osseA

BLAME FOR BLUNDERs
 OF NEW HAVEN ROAD
Former President Tells Financial
 Mistakes Made by System.

Recalling number of mistakes, which, he says, led to the collapse of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad Company's system, c. s. Mellen, former president of the road, in the "Boston-News Bureau D tells what he believes are the reasons for the financial blunders. He says:
 Three big mistakes tell the story: First, the neglect of the opportunity to sell all New Ravens steamship in terests to Charles W. Morse. The rec ord books will show that I recom- mended this sale, and that the direc- tors voted it down. As a matter of fact I was the only director who vot- ed in favor of it. Had this sale been made, it would have put into the roads treasury s2o,0OO,O00 leaving lthe property just s20,0o0,0Oo better off in cash assets at the close of my administration than it was.
 "The second big mistake was the purchase and backing of the New York, Westchester & Boston enter prise. There was no excuse in my judgment for this proposition, and my record on the books of the New Ha- ven road is so plainly written that no man can doubt where l stood. Had the road kept out this foolish venture, 1t would have been saved S35, ,O00,- 900 investment which does not earn it's operating expenses and taxes, much less any interest on the capital inevst- ed. Had they kept out of this and had sold the boat lines to Morse, the finances of the road would have been $55, 100000 better off at the close of my administration.
 '"The third big blunder was when the road decided to carry floating debt in January, 1912, of some ESQ., OOO, ,0O0-which one of the prominent directors wanted them to do-instead of selling per cent. bonds on a 1-2 per cent. basis, and I had an offer from a responsible banking house to take the bonds on this basis.
 Had these three mistakes not been made, the road would have had no floating debt, and would have been s55, 5,o00,000 to the good on the three transactions.
 Scarcely less fatal was the joint operation with the Pennsylvania rail- road of the New York Connecting railway, and if a disclosure Is ever made Of the losses that the New Ha- ven has suffered through the New York Connecting railway, it will be an eye-opener to many of it's security holders This enterprise, however, was an inheritance from a previous administration, and no part of the responsibility rests upon anyone now a1ive.''

Supt. of Schools SIawsOn Will So Recommend
 At Meeting. NO ACTION ON
 WAGE INCREASES

At tonight's meeting Of the Board of Education Superintendent of Schools, Samuel E. Slawson, will re- commend a, new high school for the East side, according to-a statement given to a Times representative this morning by the superintendent
 While no location has been defi- -nitely picked and the specifications of the building are hay Mr. Slawson said this morning that he was con- vinced that another high school in Bridgeport was an absolute neces- sity and he would make such a re- commendation to the special meet ing tonight It is not thought that the board will oppose the move MT. Slawson asked for an opinion on the p per cent. increase for teach CTS, proposed by Mayor Wilson at the meeting last Monday, replied he was very much in favor of the increase The superintendent's attitude clearly showed that he thought that such a thing was necessary and he would do his utmost to see it through.
 It is not expected, however, that the board will take any action on the increase tonight, owing to a state ment made by Elmer F., Ravens, president of the board, in which he said that no business beyond the re- ports and recommendations of the superintendent would come up. It is believed this will be taken up at the meeting in December.
