had proceeded from Morse's hill to the foot of Caesar hill before they were compelled to suspend operations. In order to complete the detailing and laying out of the work to be done, four engineers have been put to work and it is expected that Wednesday night will see the survey completed. Contractors will begin the Berlin end of the work about April 1.
 Both the East Berlin and pike roads are expected to be opened to traffic by November 1. Detour for the Hartford highway will be by way of New Britain, autos going north leav- ing the thoroughfare at Woodruff'S corner. Machines from Hartford can leave by any of the highways leading to New Britain. Machines from Mid dletown route to Berlin will have to detour by way of Savage hill com ing out on the main highway at Col. c. M. Jarvis farm.
 It was reported yesterday that the company hauling the stone for the new. highway is asking $1.50 per ton for haulage instead of $1, the price which has been in force since last fall. Not many trucks were in use yesterday, the reason given being that a decision on the price increase was pending. From the number on the road today it is supposed that the in crease has been granted. At this rate it will be possible to realize from $50 to $50 on a truck.
 Grand Lodge Officers Coming.
 East Berlin lodge, Knights of Pyth- ias, will entertain several of the grand lodge officers at their communication this evening. It is expected that all members will turn out to participate in the evenings activities.
 Repairing toadbed.
 Workmen in the employ of the Connecticut company are repairing the trolley roadbed near the Berlin garage. The heavy rains, coupled with the thaU. have raised havoc with the rails at this point, causing them to crack and making them too weak to stand the weight of the heavy cars.
 Freight on the Move.
 The Berlin depot is a scene of un- usual activity noA that the weather has permitted the release of hundreds of freight cars that have been tied up during the winter. Continually, from morning until night, freight trains are passing in both directions. Trains of 30 and 40 cars each are not un- usual at the present time. The com pany has been unusually fortunate, 10 accidents having been reported during the present rush.

Continued from First Page)
To Approve Roll.

The state central committee was to meet late in the afternoon to approve the temporary roll of the convention which Major John Buckley, the Secre- tary, has prepared. This temporary roll later will go to the credentials committee and should there be a, con- testing delegation from Stratford as has been indicated, that committee will give a hearing tonight to the par X ties in interest. Many selections of members of convention committees have already been made and about half the new state central committee has been chosen by districts. The com mittee will probably be completed tonight and the 35 nominations con- frmed by the convention tomorrow. It has been customary for the new committee to meet after the conven- ton adjourns. Delegates from Wind ham county brought word that there was a possibility of Mayor Charles A. Gates of Willimantic being chosen chairman of the new committee in suc- cession to J. Henry Roraback. Noth- ing appeared to be known, however, of MT. Roraback's intention not to again seek the chairmanship, and an explanation given by some delegates was that MT. Roraback may be chosen national committeeman in succession to John T. King of Bridgeport, and may not care to hold both places.
 The discussion among delegates to- day was chiefly as to makeup of the delegation of fourteen to the Chicago convention and the wording of the resolutions. It has been customary to make this short document touching on few matters and without the spe- cific declarations contained in the r,J, fo1 ,iaJ, lay stress upon state affairs. It is an- ticipated that the session of the reso- 1utions committee tonight will be of interest because of the equal suffrage issue. -
 A forecast of the convention's act is that the delegation will be unp1edged and the resolutions will be brief

LISBON SCENE OF
 STRIKE TROUBLES
Disturbances of Serious Nature
 Are Reported.

Madrid, March 22.-Details of dis turbances at Lisbon on Friday and Saturday have been received here by courier and it seems that quite serious disturbances have been experienced in that city.
 At a meeting of men employed in the building trade on Friday a reso- lution was adopted in favor of a revolutionary general strike.' Imme- diately afterward street fighting took place and 130 persons were arrested. During the melee there were shouts of Long live red Russia but the crowd was scattered when mounted guards arrived. Soon after the guards ar rived a small bomb was thrown which slightly injured several persons. The police drew a line across the street and permitted no one to pass or stand at windows. Those attempting to disobey this order were fired upon and it rquired only a few minutes to clear the surrounding territory.
 Futher collisions occurred Saturday night and there were sevewl explo- sions heard during the evening, it be- ing supposed that bombs had been thrown. The principal square in the city was placed under military guard, the men being equipped with motor lorries and machine guns but there were no untoward incidents late at night. Metal workers are said to have planned to pass resolutions in favor of a revolutionary strike and the chief of police has taken necessary precautions to prevent disorders.
 We do not fear a revolutionary strike" Premier Bautista is quoted as saying on Sunday. 'The governm ent is prepared to accept the challenge of the workers
 In the course of an interview the chief of police of Lisbon is said to have declared Portugal generally and Lisbon particularly was very quiet, considering the number of strikes in progress.
 The general impression prevails that an uprising is most improbable and that should any occur they would be confined to local disturbances arising from strikes. The republican guard has concentrated a strong force in Lisbon, this body being completely purged of any monarchist or reac- tionary elements.
 Secret service agents are closely watching ports for the arrival of sus- pected foreigners. Hitherto unde- sirables have been unable to gain ad- mittance to Portugal.

WANT $500 A DAY
Granite Cutters Want Wage Adjust melt So All Will Earn This Amount in Eight Hours.

Boston, March 23-Demands for a readjustment of wages intended to bring to virtually all the granite cut ters of the country on April a uni form wage of s1 an hour for an eight hour day have been presented by the Granite Cutters International association. The employers, as repre- ,sented by the International Monu- mental Granite Producers associa- tion, will consider the demands through a committee of each organ ization at meetings here Tuesday.
 James Duncan of Quincy, president of the Granite Cutters association said that the demands as now made affect directly 6.0O0 workers, en- ployed principally in New England the south and middle west. Eight thousand other cutters will receive the rate agreed upon at the confer ence here. Some have already been promised the $S day rate effective April 1, according to MT. Duncan.
 The present agreement which con- trols the cutters wage is based on a sliding scale under which they would receive $6.4O a day on April 1 next and s6.S0 on April 1, 1921.
 Other workers in the industry are not affected by the demands

GERMANY LACKS POWER.
Officials Admit That They Are Unable to Cope With Situation There.

Berlin, March 22.-Adm ission was made today that the central German government lacks power to restore normal conditions in Westphalia where fighting continues and where only a small proportion of the miners have returned to work. It is denied however, that bolshevism has entered into the situation which has arisen there as result of workers setting up their own government and it is de- clared the miners favor a constitu- tional form of government and want to establish an independent state.
 Herr Giesberts, minister of posts and telegraphs, has gone into the Rul1r district to try to re-establish governmental authority.
