STEVENS GETS
 TERM IN JAIL

Despite 8 vigorous plea entered by his attorney in the City court today, Felix Stevens. owner of a cafe at 54 East Washington avenue, was sentenc- ed to 10 days in jail by Judge Wm. s. Boardman, for violating the Iiquor laws. Stevens was aIraigned in the City court on October 28, and at that time a 10-day Jail term was tempor- arily suspended in view Of the fact that the mans wife was about to give birth to a. child. It was the sus- pension of this sentence which was revoked by the court this morning.
 According to Attorney Daniel Brennan, who acted as counsel for Stevens, the man Is without funds and his wife is still sick. Two months rent on the saloon is overdue and Stevens has no way of earning a liv- ing except through the business which he closed up the day after hds arrest. The saloon has not been dis mantIed, but before going to jail to- day, Stevens promised the court that all fixeures would be removed from the place at once.

 Objects
 To Plan
Believes Province Would Be Deprived of Representation in Im- peria1 Parliament - Fears Sim Fein Ma jority.

London, Nov. 1.-The Ulster cab inet today rejected the governments plan for 8 settlement of the Irish question, on the ground that it con tained fundamental princdpIes which under existing conditions were inn possible Of attainmen1. The Ulster ministers. however. are putting for ward counter proposals.
 A communique issue by the North ern Ireland cabinet suggests that the government should consider 5hese counter proposals before the proposed meeting of the British and Ulster cab inets.

 The Brisish governments Iaaoposals are not in the form of an ultimatum requiring a direct answer, and the Ulsterttes are declared not to be con templating submission of any alter nate plan. The issues in whe iher the terms present any possible basis upon which a common agreement may be brought about.
 have upheld the firm attitude taken by their premier in his previous con- ferences with Prime Minister Lloyd George, they have not thus far re- jected anything, and the fact that they are to discuss the situation with the British Premier probably on Monday, gtves-hope that they are ready for some form of compromise.
 Parliament was prorogated last night until January 30, but will be called together before that time should developments in the Irish sit uation warrant it, government leaders say. In his propagation speech, the king made an appeal, apparently ad dressed particularly to the U1sterites now in London, in which he exhorted 'ttifle leaders of all parties in Ireland, and all those in whose hands lies the power to influence the negotiations and discussions now proceeding, to exercise patience and moderation with the object of establishing friend- ship and co-otperation between my people of that country"
 The text of the conmunique said:
 ''The suggestions put forward by the imperial government were received late last night and were considered. The Ulster cabinet is drawing up a detailed reply which it is hoped to forward shortly.
 'As, however, certain fundamental principles are involved in the sugges- tions which under existing circum- stances are impossible of attainment, Sir James Craig. (the premier) with the unanimous approval of his col leagues, has informed the Prime Min ister that no useful purpose would be

Entire State
 Pays Tribute

A great hush, like the pail laid over the beloved dead, fell softly over the city at noon today. All activities were halted while a silent tribute was paid to the memory of the PIP Bridgeport's sons and daughters who made the greate sacrifice, and to the remainder of the youth of the United States who perished on the fields of France.
 Just before 12 o'clock six buslers stationed about the center of the city sounded "Taps," ushering in the two minute period of silent prayer asked for by President Harding in his Arrnistfce Day proclamation. The response was immediate. All traf- fi,c pedestrian and Vehicular, ceased All business suspended. Not wheel turned in the factories. Church bells tolled, carrying their message far and wide through the city.
 from the center of the city to city the tablet bearing the names of Bridgeport's heroic dead

World Appreciates Noble Courage
 And Sacrifice By John w. Weeks, Secretary of War.

Written Exclusively for The In-
 ternattonal News Service.
 Copyright, 1921, By the Inter-
 national News Service.)
 Washington, Nov. 11-As far into the past as the historian has penetrated, men have done honor publicly to those of their fellows who performed brave deeds in the public cause. or displayed in marked degree qualities con- ducive to the common welfare. In these ceremonies to the un- known warrior we are reaff1rming that practice, demonstrating that the world today is no less ap- preciative of noble courage and se1f-sacrif1ce than it was of old.
 But there is something pecu~ liarly appropriate in this solemn tribute to an unknown fallen hero. When an army of millions of men wars forth to battle, 1t is in- evitable that there should be in- stances of unrecognized merit thousands of hardshtps uncorn- plainingly endured, thousands of sacrifices unhesitatingly made, and thousands of deeds of per- sonal heroism, no less noble be- couse they were at the time un- heralded and unrecorded.
 In giving to this unknown warrior honors such as have sell dom been accorded to kings and potentates in the past in & grate. full nation is endeavoring to pay in part at least, the tribute of re. spect and admiration which these deeds of unsung heroes warrant.

STRIKE WILL LAST WHILE
 PUBLIC SUFFERS

New York, Nov. 11-Encouraged by the temporary injunction obtained by 16 milk distributing companies in the Brooklyn Supreme court, restraining their striking employees from violence in that borough, distributors in other parts of the city end eavored today to speed up deliveries which were re- ported to reach 70 per cent. normal to stores and depots.
 In Staten Island house to house deliveries have been resumed under police protection.
 The health department announced that its inspectors were keeping close watch on the quality of milk being sold in the city, and as a result of this precaution, court proceedings would be instituted today or tomorrow against one company for selling milk Il hours after it had been pasteuriz- ed.
 Health Commissioner Copeland planned to bring about further con- ferences today between individual employers and their employees regard less of his unsuccessful efforts thus far to reach an amicable solution of thed ificulty. He termed the strike an endurance test that would last ''as long as the public will tolerate it.

proposed change in working condi- tions.
 The manufacturers contend that a reduction in the price of clothes is necessary in order that they may avert financial disaster, and that the piece work system, which they claim maaEs increased efficiency and great CT production, is the only solution of their problem
 "The only way to prevent a strike Is for the manufacturers to give up their plan for the introduction of piece work and the 49 hour week." Benjamin Schlesinger, president of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. declared today. '"This is to be a strike of defense. The workers are trying to defend them selves against what they consider will mean sweat shop conditions. They do not want to strike.
 '"Ihe manufacturers want us to &C., cept conditions of labor on which we were not consulted. We had an agreement, made on June 3, for joint conferences and final report on con- ditions in the industry was to be made by November 1. The manufactur- CTS broke off negotiations before Mo- vember 1 and the final meeting never took place.

Say Chief
 Is To Be
 Replaced
Report Commissioners Will Meet Tonight Despite Denial of Officials.

q have been in the department for 31 years, and I will stand upon my record" declared Fire Chief Daniel E. Johnson while commenting today upon the current reports that he was so be retired by the fire commission CTS. In point of years and service ] am eligible for retirement. and zs1I that the commissioners need do is say the word am not anxious to1eave tfe department, but as I have said all along will always ovey the decisions of Nle commissioners
 Reports have been most persistent that the commissioners were to re- move Chief Johnson in favor of As slStant George F. Beardsiess as their last official act before the present ad- mlnlstrat1on goes out of office. Four ether members of the department are also slated for retirement, according to the reports.
 Chief Johnson has been a member of the department since September. l89O, and he has just rounded out his thirty-flrst year of service. He was made permanent man in June. 1892, and promoted to captain and hydrant inspector on April 1, 1895 In October, 1908, he received his a.p- po1ntment as first assistant chief, and on August 1, 1915, he was placed at the head of the department.
 Under the rules of the department a man who has been in the service for 25 years and has reached the age of 60 years, is eligib1e for retirement A meeting the eligibility requirement can be removed by the commissi oners without the necessity of showing cause. In this way Chief Johnson. who is almost 62 years of age, can be removed at any time the commits -sioners so decide.
 The present efficiency of the de- partment, which is unanimously rat ed with the leaders in New England, is ample proof-of the ability of Chief Johnson.
 Chief Johnson was also questioned today on reports that Lieutenant Thomas Magner had been granted ten-day leave of absence previous to ,2pe eleceion to devote his time to May or Wilson's campaign work.
 Application was made to me-" ex- plained the chief, ''to give Lieuten- ant Magner sick leave. He was said to be in iu-health, and under the cir cumstances I gave permission for him to be off. He was absent from duty here most of last week, and the first two days of this week. -
 It was learned today that the board of commissioners will meet tonight, despite the denials of several officials. The primary purpose of the meeting is to take action on the resignation Of Lieutenant Euclid Forest of Engine House No. II.

LONDON PAUSES
 IN TRIBUTE TO
 WORLD WAR DEAD

London, Nov. 11-On the stroke or the hour marking the third anndver- sary of the armistice in the World War London today paused in a mute two minute testimony to the nations grateful remembrance of the victory and reverent tribute to the fallen.
 A few minutes before II o'clock all vehfcu1ar traffic was diverted from Whitehall. Piccaddlly Circus. Stock Exchange Place, Trafalgar Square and other public open spaces. Into these places crowded thousands of people. As the hour approached the throng joined in singing 70 God Our Help in Ages Past" and then at the sounding of maroons in the distance, initiating the booming of guns. hats were raised, flags went to half mast and every head was reverently bowed in @ stiffness broken only by a strif1ed sob from a woman here and there among the quiet masses. Throughout the city every wheel had stopped turning at the sdgnal, aand all activity were suSp tended.
 Tn the financial district, just before the hour struck, the tapes licked off the request!
 Prepare to do honor to the glor- tous dead" and here as elsewhere there was a total cessation of bust- ness.

Garment Makers
 Strike Inevitable

New York, Nov. 11.-A strike of 5e,o00 garment workers in the metro- polftan area next Monday appeared inevitable today as a result of the Coat, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers Protective Association's determination to operate on a piece work basis, be- ginning on that day and to increase the working week from Al to 49 hours.
 Members of the Cloak, Skirt and Reefer Makers Union, affiliated with the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union, by g. vote of 3S,672 to 162. have decided to strike as a protest against the manufacturers new plan. Strike headquarters have been established in a local hotel and a meeting of all workers called for tomorrow to formulate a course of action.
 While the strike vote only affects shops in the metropolitan area, union leaders declared today that the sit uatton might eventually embrace 100000 workers in other garment centers outside the city if the manu- facturers attempted to smash the un- ion. Sample makers, cutters and pressers, representing 40 per cent. of the workers are not affected by the
