RUMAN|A'S WORD TO BE EXPECTED
 SAYS NORMAN

New York, City August 12.- "Rumania's defiance of the Peace Conference is only what any one who knows sthe present spirit of Rumania would expect" said Louis F. Van Norman, a passenger on the Patria, which arrived here from Marseilles on Saturday. MT. Van Norman has just returned from an eight months sojourn throughout Rumania, where he was sent by the United States De partment of Commerce to make a survey of the new territorie1 given to Rumania by the Peace Conference. He was formerly commercial attache at Bucharest
 "Rumania is now kingdom of 16,- 900, 900 people. Under her old boun- daries she had 100000. The new boundaries have not only made her bigger territorialIy but have given her sense of her new importance. Her national spirit, always strong, is now stronger. She believes in a power full Rumania and has no sympathy with the idea that she should be con trolled by the Supreme Council of the Peace Conference.
 "Rumania's disobedience of the command of the conference that she stay out of Hungary Is in keeping with her mood Even If she feels forced to bow to such subsequent de- mands as the conference may make 1t will only be with tha utmost re- luctanco."
 MT. Van Norman said he was in accord with the view which has been held in some quarters that Rumania is acting on the suppositioa that she is supporting what has been the for etgn policy of the French ever since the collapse of Russia, namely that of building the strongest possible bar rier between Russia and Germany.
 This policy is said to be manifest"1 in French willingness to grant the maximum Rumanian claims.

FIRST STRIKE FOR FIVE DAY WEEK
 IN THIS COUNTRY 12,00O Painters Quit Work in New York to Enforce
 Their Demands. SHORTEST HOURS YET ASKED FOR BY UNIONS Strike Called in Face of Re quest From Department of Labor.

Now York, Aug. 13.---Tho first strike ever called in this country for a five day work week begins this morning. and, Incidentally, is likely to delay the renovation of many New York apart ments.
 About 12 900 painters, according to the predictions of their union, will refuse to go to work this morning, and will remain on strike until they obtain q 4O-hour work week, with pay at the rate of a dollar an hour. About 5000 5000 in Brooklyn.
 just beginning. Almost 2,O00 of the mon have gone on strike for some time, and several hundred more have been locked ou- as a result of the re- cent plastere-5' strike, when the painters indulged in syr pathetic walk-outs-
 For some time, persons in the trade have understood that a strike was in evitable, and the association of enl- ployers has been engaged in adding to it's ranks in preparation for the contest. The painters, however, de- clare they will win, and point to their strike of several years ago. when they tied up all the work being done in this city
 The strike today has been called in the face of a request from the United States Department of Labor, asking ttat the walkout be postponed until it might have a, chance to attempt mediation. In reply to a telegram from the department, the New York District Council of the Painters Union sent a message to the effect that the agreement with the associa- tion of master painters, based on ar bitration, was no longer in force. as it had been broken by the associa- ton.
 The strikers have hired more than b halls, in which they will hold meet ings today. There is the possibility that other strikes in the building trades will follow. Recently there has been friction between employers and the carpenters. bricklayers, cement masons and other trades.
