FRANCE NOW LIKE
HUGE LABOR CAMP
BY HENRY WILLIAM FRANCIS.
Washington HeraId-Cross Atlantic
Service, Special Gable Dispatck.l

Paris, Sept 29.-Restoration work
in France has transformed the
country into a great labor encamp-
ment. The army OF Spanish. Por-
tuguese and Arab laborers, which
has been imported to meet the sit
uation, is many thousands strong.
The men live in small encamp-
ments. which are moved back as
the work proceeds.
One strong point about these for
eign workers is that they have no
union troubles; but that doesn't pre-
vent plenty OF trouble every pay
day. 1t is their custom invaria bly,
to claim more money than they are
entitled to; and they often make
the situation interesting by pro-
ducing revolverS and bra ndishing
knives to emphasize their argu-
ments and reinforce their claims.
The men are rough and peculiar
to deal with. but the work pro-
crosses well. according to the chief
engineer. who has been left free
to import any kind of labor with
out interference from the French
trade unions.

VOTERS TO GET
NO RAIL RATE
Southern Official Says De-

ing 1912 and 1914.

H. F. Cary, general passenger
agent of the Southern Railroad.
yesterday exploded the popular idea
that there are approximately 10000
voters in Washington who would
go home to vote in November il the
railroads allowed special rates.
During the year 1912 only twen-
ty-nine tickets were sold on the
Southern to washingtOnians who
went home to vote" Mr.. Cary wrote
the Harding and Coolidge Repub-
lican League No. /, and only
eighty-eight in 1916, thus indicating
that although a very low rate was
made very few persons took advan-
tage OF it"
For that reason the Southern
Railroad. joining with the Pennsyl-
vania system. refuses to grant a
reduced rate to voters. oliver T.
Boyd. general passenger agent OF
the Pennsylvania, wrote that 1T Is
not felt advisable to depart from the
