NEWS PRINT HOGS.

When you read the mammoth Sum
day edition Of some large city daily
paper, do yoa ever pause to think
that the size of that edition is one OF
the leading factors in the shortage OF
news print paper? It is quite so.
The publishers Of many Of these
big dailies are greedy hogs.
They know that it is extremely
difficult for the country press to Sc
cure sufficient print paper with which
TO put out their limited weekly edi-
lions. They know that if the coun-
try publisher can not secure the nee
sssary paper stock he must go to the
wall.
Yet Sunday after Sunday they con-
tinue to issue editions SO large that it
Becomes physical impossibility to
read them. Section after section is
placed in the Sunday papers that
contains nothing of news element,
End bat little of any practical value
whatever. Usually it is composed
largely of sickening slush which
schoolboy would be ashamed to IA
Cher. It is useless waste OF mater
ial which is already difficult to OBJ
tain. It reminds one Of the hog that
roots the bucket over in its greedy
efforts to get all Of the slop.
Some Of the city dailies have Sun
day circulations as high as four hun
bred thousand. One useless eight
page section omitted from such an
edition would furnish the news print
necessary for a weeks supply for at
least two hundred country newspa-
peers. One such section omitted from
the New York and Chicago Sunday
papers alone would supply over two
thousand country papers.
One section from these papers
would hardly be missed. It would
create no hardship whatever. The
failure Of two thousand country pa
pers to make their appearance on
press day would create furore.
The big daily newspapers would
have the people believe that the short
age Of newsprint is due to underpro-
auction. AS a matter of actual fact,
It is due in great part to the hoggish-
ness Of the Sunday dailies.
Congress may not realize it, but
the thousands and thousands Of coun-
try editors have their eyes glued on
Washington. They are waiting to
see what Washington is going to do
about it.
Congress can aid the situation very
materially by placing reasonable
limit on the size Of Sunday papers,
varying according to population.
This will not infringe upon the le-
climate rights of the daily papers.
1t will protect the rights Of the coun-
try press.
Already some country papers have
suspended publication because they
could not secure the paper necessary
to print their editions. In the face
Hf'such conditions, to permit the daily
news print hog to continue his pres
ent practice will inflict incalculable
damage upon the country press.
Week kneed officials prattle about
tho situation working itself out. II
will not.
No hungry dog was ever known to
Voluntarily surrender juicy bone.
And the news print hog is even
grcedier than the dog.

Too much care cannot be exercised
in selecting a cough medicine for

most effectual in curing their coughs

shown that Chamberlain's Cough

Chronic Constipation.

SnrOnic OcnStipatiSn.
There are many people who have
never had movement of the bowels
without it is produced by cathartic.
Most Of them have brought that con-
dition on themselves by the use Of
mineral waters and strong cathartics
that take too much water out Of the
system and aggravate the disease
they are meant to relieve. A mild
laxative tonic like Chamberlain's Tab
let's affords gentle movement of the
bowels that you hardly realize has
been produced by medicine, and
their use is not so likely to be fol-
lowed by Observation-Disclosures

WOMEN VOTERSARE
 A WONDER SHOW

doubt but the great majority of wo- men in this city eligible to become voters have availed themselves of the privilege. I say "privilege'' advisedly because the attitude is proven that they consider it such. The women are desirous of expressing their will on the vital problems that are to come up on November 8. The chap at the voting machine has found out this in a manner that will not admit of dispute. He has talked himself but he has had the hardest task of all. The women make a most minute scrutiny of the machine and want everything explained until they are perfectly sure they understand the working of the machine thoroughly. Every one of them wants to be per fectly certain that her vote is not go
 ing to be lost because she is not fa- 1niliar with the procedure.
 Not nearly so many men register
 ed as women but this was to be ex-
 pected. This is probably the reason
 you see so few of them around the voting machines. Perhaps it is that feeling of superiority in the male
 which consciously or unconsciously actuates his movements that leads the newly made voter to feel sure he does not need any specific instruc- tion as to how to vote that keeps him away from the machine. This is a l matter of little concern to the women however as it gives just so many | more of them a chance to get the in- | struction they so eagerly seek.

MAKE FEW V 0 FRS
 TODAY
Over 5000 Remain to Be
 Made Today, Monday
 and Tuesday, Only 50 Per Cent. of the Wom- en on the List Already Made Heavy Percen- tage of Foreign Born.

The making of voters was some what slower this morning, only 1so being made in the first hour as against 1s3 yesterday morning. D. 169 were made yesterday making a. total up to closing hour last night of 9.S30. Of these 7,621 were women and 2,2o9 men. The total registra- tion is 7,9SO:-14,4s0 women and $500 men. There are s,150 to be made today, Monday and Tuesday. The making of voters will close Tues day night at 10 o'clock.
 In former years it was estimated To Be Made lists actually took the oath.
 This average has been exceeded this year by the men as over 70 per cent has already been made.
 A little over 50 per cent of the women have been made so far.
 It is evident that several thousand of the women whose names are on the To Be Made lists will not be granted the privilege of voting this year.
 In years past about 25 per cent of the men who were made were na- turalized citizens but this year the average of foreign born men who cent of the total.
 The first woman to be made today was Lucy A. Ryan of 509 Park ave nue and Catherine D.. Melady, 5o9 a J. Gould, 434 Gurdon street; Mary A. Hurd, 239 Gilbert street; Mrs Flora Fairchild, 152O Park avenue; Miss Mary A. Duhigg, 1 Fox street; Virginia w. Burlington, Growers ave nue; Adelia, J. Gallagher, 571 Fairfield avenue; Mary M.

STRIKE OF MINERS> BEGINS
Hundreds of Thousands Leave Galleries This Morning in Wales While the Remainder Will Go Out All Over England T o n i g h t. Desperately Trying to Stop Railway Strike.

London, Oct 16-The great coal strike is virtually in force. Though "oficially" the walkout of more than 100000 miners is not scheduled to go into effect until tonight, reports from the coal fields especially those in South Wales,- show that hundreds of thousands of miners refused to touch their tools this morning.
 Frantic efforts by the government and the few "pacifist" leaders of the coal miners organization to bring about a settlement early today broke down completely, though throughout the night every ounce or persuasive power and conciliatory effort had been enlisted to avert a crisis that threatens to plunge Britain into 1n- calculable industrial paralysis at the very moment when the country was beginning to recoup from the great war The peace negotiations are at a complete StandStill and there IS not a ray of hope at the hour of cabling that the crisis may be averted
 All eyes are fixed upon the Ma aionaI Union of Railwaymen, for or the decision of that powerful organ ization depends the question where Hhe strike can be confined to the miners An influential group of the more radical heads of the rail mems union is working tooth and nall Tor a strike in sympathy with the miners but J. II. Thomas. the organization s leader who is against it may be able to check the insurgents"
 He will confer with Premier-Lloyd George tonight. Immediately upon his arrival here he went into con ference with the other rail union ! executives and started his efforts to calm the beligerent elements and avert a rail strike.
 Large stocks of coal have been ac- formulated and private customers have laid in supplies but the public has been informed that rigid economy will be necessary. Many large industrial con- cerns have considered at least partial shutdown and this movement may de- velop into one of the most serious phases of the strike.
 I Government plans for the distribu- ltion of food. which were perfected during the railroad strike last year, have been extended and a comprehen- 'sive system of transport has been worked out for the entire country.
 Parliament will convene on Tues day and hope is still entertained that this may tend to bring a solution of Hhe trouble. Neither the government nor the miners federation has closed the door on further negotiations.

 SERVICE MEN GO TO BONUS PARADE

Five hundred world war veterans who will take part in the big bonus parade being held at 2:30 o'clock in New York City this afternoon left the city shortly after o'clock this morn ing in buses, trucks and private cars headed by the Lincoln School Drum Corps and in company with about 100 more ex-soldierS who are expect ed to take the noon train in charge of Lieut.. Norman Hall, Bridgeport will be we'll represented among the 400 service men who will march in favor of the bonus for soldiers in the ''big city,
 The Bridgeport contingent will be under the command of Private Frank Elliano, g. veteran of the old Yankee Division. Other Bridgeporters who will take a prominent part in the line of march this afternoon are Captain Arthur c. Bennett in command of the New England Division; Lieut.. Nor man Hall who will be personal aide to Major James Caccavajo of New York, grand marshal of the parade; and Lieut. William $. Lynn who will head the Connecticut delegation.
 Following the parade this after noon the Bridgeport delegation in a body will tour New York and return to this city late tonight. Delegations from all the prncipal cities in the East will be in line this afternoon to stir up sentiment which will ultimate ly lead to some action on compensa- tion for ex-SoldierS.

Women Charge
 They Were Left
 Off The List
Over 25O Here Say They Gave Their Names But They Are Not Now
 Recorded.

The number of women who gave their names on registration slips to the women who canvassed the several sections of the city before the regis tration closed ard who believed that they had done all that was neces- sary but who now find that their names were not handed in is con- stant1y increasing and it was said at City Hall today that over 250 women had been turned down and refused the privilege of becoming citizens be- cause their names were not on the To-Be- Made lists.
 All of these women insisted that they had given their names to women canvaSsers and it is becoming appar- ent that there was systematic at tempt by certain canvassers to leave off the names of women who did not belong to their party.
 The number of Democratic women who have thus been disfranchised is so much great ter than Republicans that it is considered probable that Republican women canvassers either destroyed the slips after they had re- ceived them or failed to turn them in at the time that they returned the names of Republican women.
 The same thing happened in other parts of the State and a dispatch from Bristol says that the Democratic town committee has protested and demand ed that the names of women whose names were thus left off the lists be restored.

MAYOR ASKED TO SIT ON STAGE
 WITH JOHN I.

Mayor Wilson has been invited to sit on the stage with the guests at the Brandegee rally in the Casino Monday night while John T. King has been invited to preside and he has accepted.
 The town committee felt with the Mayors known strength on the com mittee that it would not be wise to ignore him entirely and therefore he was invited to sit on the stage.
 Friends of the Mayor believe that this scheme of the town committee to silence the Mayor while all the candi- dates of the party are showing their goods to Bridgeport will be set aside by the audience which it is said will insist on hearing the Mayor.
 The Mayor, this morning denied that the adjournment of the regular meeting of the Aldermen, scheduled for Monday night was on account of the Republican rally and said that the Board would meet at the usual time but would immediately adjourn for a week on account of the Council Chamber being used by the Board of Registration in making voters.
 Republican circles are much per turbed over the action of Frank E.. Ballard who acted as treasurer before he was dropped by the city conven- lion last week in turning over the money he had collected to the State Central committee instead of turning it into the hands of his successor as treasurer of the town committee, Will liam F. Seeley.
 See1ey, it is said demanded that Ballard turn the money over to him but Ballard is reported to have told Seeley that he had sent all his col lections to Hartford.
 It is also reported that Seeley is having difficulty in collecting funds for the city campaign as those who gave to Ballard refuse to come across again.

(By JANE.)
 The corridors of the City Hall for merly sacrosanct to men have been filled ito overflowing during the past women. It has presented a strange aspect to the old time politician who is Ioath to shake off his old time con servatisrn. You can tell from the eX- pressions on the faces that these old timers are finding it hard to recon cile the new with the old.
 And yet around the voting mach ines in the lower hall you will see them lingering watching with great interest the manner in which the women are taking in the instruction ing machines. Some times they look almost disappointed at the intelli- gence displayed by the women and the thickness with which they grasp the manner in which the machine is operated.
 Some of the oldtimers gasp with dismay when they hear woman ask how a certain candidate may be scratched. This is the rankeSt hearSay to the staunch party man, and he views with alarm not unmiXed with cha grin the attitude of the woman who wants to vote for the man she and nation absolutely regardless of his party affiliations They sigh as they turn away and you Bsn readily understand they are inwa'I8x5 lament ing the good old days tf at have van | ished forever.

Five Hundred of Them Pledge Themselves to Raise a Fund to Bring the Matter of Rental for Gas Meters Before the Public Utilities Commission.

At a meeting of the employees of the Lake Torpedo Boat Company held yesterday noon in front of the factory about 500 employees of that concern pledged themselves to support a plea from the workers that the meter charge of 50 cents recently levied by the Bridgeport Gas Light Company, was unjust and if necessary they will raise a defense fund to carry the matter before the Public Utilities Commission in an effort to have the ruling rescinded or modified. They have already sought counsel in the matter and have started a collection to raise a defense fund. Each worker in favor of the movement has been asked to voluntarily contribute 25 cents and number of them have a1- ready compiled. A self-appointed committee of 20 men are looking after the interests of the workers and will meet some time next week to further their plans.
 The employees say they are opposed to the levying of the 50 cent charge on the meters and believe that if the Gas Company must raise their reve- nue to meet added expense in the pro- duction of gas they should do it through their regular methods and not resort to a. meter charge.

STAMFORD FINDS WH|SkEY IN A
 M0RTUARY WAGON

Stamford, Conn.,, Oct. 16.-A mor tuary wagon passing over the post road outside of Stamford late last night was stopped by federal prohibit ton enforcement officers for examina- ton because the springs under the body appeared to be unduly weighted. The wagon was such as those used by undertakers for the delivery of cas- kets, and furniture used at funerals.
 This particular wagon on examina-' ton by daylight showed that it had been prepared for it's freight, which was 13 cases of bonded whiskey and 200 gallons of alcohol.
 The men arrested gave the names of John Silverstone of IA Winthrop street, Hartford, and Samuel Heller of Perth Amboy, N. J. Both were held in $500 for a hearing. Silver stone told the officers that he was en- gagged in Perth Amboy to drive the wagon to Hartford.
