M0NMARTRE HAS
 SEPARATEG GOVT

Paris, April 13-Montmartre, the light hearted, is today rejoicing in the possession of a, separate govern ment, having repudiated all allegiance to all other administrations in France The free commune of Montmartre'' as it calls itself will however, continue to pay taxes td France being willing to meet even the higher rates to be voted soon by parliament
 Invoking the principle of :'self de. termination of free people," Mont martre held an election on Sunday as result of which Jules DePaquii a cartoonist of local renown, was elected mayor. He received an over vEhelming majority of the votes cast by the painters, scuIptors, and poets who form the predominant part of the population. His platform was termed high idealistic and it certain ly had the merit o1 brevity .'eing sim ply: Free beer"
 Only one prohibition vote was cast iii the election and hurried search was made for the man said to have deposited. that ballot. When found he produced a haw1ess alibi being able to prove he had been asleep in the rear room of a cafe until after the polls had closed. The immediate arrest of the man who impersonated ] this guiltIess citizen has been ordered by the new mayor

SINGER co. EnIPLOYES
 CONFER ON DEMANDS

The employees of the Singer Man ufacturing company had a conference with Superintendent Flames yester- day in reference to their demands for increased pay and were informed by MT. Flames that on account of con- ditions in Europe where their sales had fallen off and their factoriSs taken over by the governments in Russia and Germany it was impossible for the Singer company to grant their demands at this time.
 MT. Flames said however that he recognized the justice of the men's demands for more money on account of the increasing cost of living and the company had decided, in view of that fact, to allow the men to work

we are not the slightest bit wor- ried about the food situation" said one of these men this morning. 'The thing which would first be affected would be meat and arrangements have already been virtually complet- ed whereby Bridgeport will be insur- ed of it's meat supply through the use of motor trucks. We have arranged for several fleets of these and if freight and express service stop alto gether the motors will be brought to aid"
 Milk, vegetables and other food stuffs are coming into the city regu- larly by motor truck and although there is a scarcity in some lines an actual shortage has not yet appeared and is not likely to do so-
 In contradiction to these state ments, however, most of the whole sale meat dealers in the city were pcssimistic. Wholesalers generally reported themselves cleaned out of meat and with no sign of shipments which have been on their way The Woodruff Co. stated that eight cars of meat were on their way from Chicago but so far only one had been located, at Port Jervis, and there seemed to be no chance of getting it out of there.
 Swift & Co.'S local office reported that meat was almost an unknown quantity and that the chance of get ting meat by motor truck seemed slim to them.
 Prices on wholesale meat have gone up in the last few days. although the wholesalers insist that the ad- vance is not nearly as large as the retailers would have the people be- lieve.
 Two or three cents is the approxi- mate increase" said one of the

 George S. Hawley, counsel of the Ma n1Ifacturers' association. took an optimistic view of the situation this morning. MT. Hawley stated that the factories here will not be inconven- fenced in his opinion before another week of the strike has elapsed and stated that even them shortage would probably be in raw materials and not in foodstuffs.
 A shipping representative of one of the larger wholesale houses stated to- day that most of the stuff needed in Bridgeport is being routed by way of the B. and O. through Springfield to this city. Conditions on that road are said to be a. great deal better than on most of the others.
 Boston, April 13-Effects of the un- authorized strike of railroad employees were felt in all parts of New England today through further reductions and consultations in all classes of traffic. The ranks of loyal workers remained unbroken on lines running through this section.
 Complicating difficulties here was a threatened strike of freight handlers at the Boston and Albany and Bos- ton and Maine terminals over de- mand for wage increases. The mat ter has gone to the state arbitration board with a request from the men for immediate favorable action. Dealers in perishable foodstuffs have commenced shipment to New York and other points by motor trucks. Several truckloa,ds of fish were sent from here today in this manner. Boats also are being utilized to capacity for passenger and freight service.
