Within the past few weeks the build
ing activities in the city and vicinity
have increased to marked degree ana
contractors are beginning to resume
pre- war business. Within few
months it is expected that long delay
ed buildings will be put up, which
were stopped by the government.
The largest building project so FAR IS
the new garage for William T. Bailey,
pleted by Architects Cudworth &
Thompson. The garage will be located
on the site where Mr.. Bailey's livery
stable is at present and will be
one of the largest and best located
in the city. The garage is so by 80
feet and one story high. The walls are
to be of brick and the roof is to be
of tar and gravel. The outstanding
feature of the building is that there
will be only two posts on the inter-
Tor of the building and will be so To-
Gated as not to interfere with the NOV
ing of cars This fact is due to the
truss roof which will be erected, there
by eliminating several pillars which
are a nuisance in a garage. Besides
the garage and repair department
there will be show room which will
accommodate two cars. The floors sre
to be of plank and the basement will
be left so that this can be utilized If
necessary. There will be two large
| doors and the front of the building VIII
| be done in plate glass. The approach
to the garage is to be graded so as 10

CONNECTICUT COLLEGE
poRMlroRY,

Architects are preparing plans for
the new dormitory to be erected at
Connecticut College FOR Women, to
be ready for occupancy next Septem-
Der. The building is to be of the same
Elizabethan type as Plant house and
Blackstone house and will extend to
the north 20 or 80 feet, on the line
with Plant house.
Plant and Blackstone, though varied
in detail, are practically identical in
plan Each of the buildings is de-
signed to furnish individual rooms for
So steudents, each room having an area
of approximately 10 to II feet, case
ment windows opening to the sun, a
closet, electric lighting, hot and cold
water, and steam heating. On each
floor there is 4 bath room with ample
provision of tubs and showers.
The main floor has a suite provided
for the resident fellow, or head Of the
house, quarters for the resident maid
and room for meetings of the stu
dents and the reception Of visitors.
1t is quite probable that the new
dormitory will be several yards longer
| than Plant and Blackstone, if the col
| lege authorities are able to obtain
permission from the city to close the
| head Of Reservoir street.

statement:
Says The New York Tribune:
"1The President scarcely overstates
in saying to the representatives OF
the railway shopmen when rejecting
their wage demands: We are face to
face with situation which is more
likely to affect the happiness and
prosperity, and even the life of our
people, than the war ITSELF
The impossibility of forever spiral
ling wages upward will not be chal-
lenged, not even by the aggrieved
shopmen. Inasmuch as trans
rortation costs more than anv other
item constitute a tax laid on all consum-
ers, it is logical to ask railroad en-
ployes to be the first to desist from
whirlng the public around the de-
scending orbit.

Thinks 1t Justified

"The Boston Transcript Inde-
pendent Republican,, finds complete
justification for the committees &C
ton in amending the treaty, es-
pecially with regard to the Shan
tung amendment. Says this paper;
"What is it that the Senate commit
tee did that has made the Hot Cos
pellers of Decentralization so rabid
with rage? Why, it did precisely what
the Pres dent of the United States said
ought TO have been done if it could
have been done, ard what the Sec
rotary Of State said ought to have been
done, and could have been done, and
what the expert official adviser of our
peace commissioners said should and
could have been done. The President
said in effect that he wanted to re-
store Shantung directly to China, but
couldn't because Japan would not as
sent to it. The Secretary of State said
that that should have been done and
that in his opinion Japan would have
agreed to it if the President had in
sisted upon it. Now, why rail at the
Senate for doing it ?"
THE Buffalo Express" Gnde-
pendent Republican, is strongly crit
zeal of the committees action in
adopting the Shantung amendment.
''This action is tactical blunder,"
the paper declares, adding:
The Republican Senators
would better get back to the solid
ground represented by their hostility
to certain provisions of the league of
nations. They can carry their reserva-
tions to the covenant if they do not
break up their strength by involving
themselves in a fight over a side
issue"
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger
independently assails the committee
amendments as follows:
THE adoption by vote of seven to
nine of the blanket amendments where
by the United States would be forced
to withdraw from all the various in
ternational commissions save that of
Teparation and those to be appointed
by the league of nations deliberately
forecasts for this country role both
contemplate and utterly fatuous"

he would be able to arrange an
honorable and just settlement be-
tween the actors and the man
ayers.
One thousand New York patrolmen
voted to ask the city for an in
crease in pay of from $500 to $3.50
year.
The Brotherhood of Interborough
Employees asked for an immediate
hearing by the company on their
demands for further increase in
pay Of 25 per cent beyond the in
crease they won in the recent
strike.
The grand Jury began the inquiry
into whether there was a con-
spiracy between the Interborough
Company and its employees to
force higher fares through a strike.
James P. Holland, president of the

H. N. Taylor, president of the
National Coal Association, told the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com

large increase in pay. Their de-
mands, he said, would include the
naturalization of the coal mines.

the United States from nearly all
the international commissions set
up by the treaty. The reparations
commission is one OF the few not
affected by the amendments, all of
which were proposed by Senator
Fall, of New Mexico. Washington
does not think the amendments
will be approved by the Senate
when the treaty is brought before
that body. Senator Hitchcock, the
Administrator leader, predicted
that the treaty would be ratified
before the end Of September with
out amendments. The Foreign
Relations Committee also decided
to recommend that the Shantung
section of the treaty be amended
so as to restore German rights to
China instead of giving them to
Japan. President Wilson has de-
cided to make his proposed tour
of the country in the interests OF
the treaty. He Will start within
fortnight and deliver fifty
speeches in twenty-five days.

"The New York Globe (Inde-

and continues:
when the heads of the railroad
brotherhoods recently declared that
there must either be a substantial de-
crease in the cost Of living or sub
stantial increase in wages, the justice
of their demands was generally recog-
nized and President Wilson took the
issue to Congress. Since that time
all the machinery of government in
the country, Federal, state and NUM-
cipal, has been set in motion TO cure
protiteering and establish an honest
standard Of prices. These efforts are
succeeding and will continue to sue

can deal with the economic conditions
that are the result OF he war, pro-
vided labor is willing to be Gecently
patient and moderately reasonable.
Nothing more is asked Of it. But only
