The British Ambassador, Sir Auck-
land Geddes, is an enthusiastic land
scape gardener.
In spite of the fact that the Am
bassador has been exceedingly busy
during these recent days, what with
the schooner Emerald and other liq-
uor shipping matters on his hands,
the Near East conference to be con-
sidered and many other questions to
be discussed with officials here, he
has found time during the past few
days to supervise some landscape i'm
provements which are being made
around the Embassy building.
Many times without even his hat
on. the Ambassador has gone out OF
the house to give directions as to how
he thought this hedge or that ever
green should be placed in order to
give the most artistic effect to the
place. The front and side yards OF
the embassy recently have looked
much like preparations for an old
fashioned merry Yuletide in England,
with a lot of fine evergreens and
other bushes standing around In

Formal acceptances from the five
Central American republics to the
conference which the United States
has invited them to hold here begin
ming December 4, are looked for
promptly.
The question of land disarmament
is to be the principal one discussed
bv them, because it has been tho
principal source of the political dlf'
ferences between them and the NAM
spring of the frequent revolutions
which have taken place in these coun-
tries.
It is believed that by the time the
conference meets in December some
concrete plan for the limitation or
their imitary forces will have been
worked out. so that it can be pre-
sented for their immediate discus
sion. While nothing is known as 10
the details of this plan, it is felt IN IN
well informed quarters that 1t VII;
provide in general way that the
armed forces of the five countries be
limited to the number needed for po-
lice and defensive purposes without
anv idea of their use at any time for
offensive work On such a basis, the
relative size of the armies would be
determined. not on the ratio of their
present strength, but by the actuai
defensive needs of the country as
shown bv the extent of territory to
be polced and the amount OF popula-
ton.
Financial experts from the United
States seem to be in demand in La
tin-America; and Colombia is now in
the market for several such lndlyld-
uals.
Following the announcement a few
days ago that w. P. G. Harding, for

Chicago Insures
 Its Protectors
Hartford Companies to Carry Forty
 Million Policy for City.

The finance committee of the Chi cago city council is considering plans for insuring the lives of all policemen and fremen in Chicago, through the Travellers and Aetna Life of Hart ford The total of such a group in surance policy would amount to al most $40, o,ooo and it would be the largest insurance project evercarried out by any municipality.
 Under the plan proposed by the Hartford insurance companies the family or nearest relative of police man or fireman would receive $5ooo in case of death while on duty. A clause will provide that death must occur within Go days of the accident or injury.
 A premium under the joint plan would be $2o a year for each of the $500 policemen and 2,4oo firemen en- ployed by the city, and hence the total premium would be almost $16o,- GOO yearly.

 LUMP PAYMENTS
Commissioner Finds That Settlement
 That Way Aids Recovery.

Hartford, April "A compensation case in which Ivan J. Kwitz is the claimant, David Smith, a contractor, the employer-respondent, and Trav- elers Insurance Co. the insurer of Smith, was brought to a conclusion Wednesday when Compensation Commissioner Chandler, directed in an award, the payment to the claim ant Of SLIPS. The case is of long standing and was originally heard on June 27, 1921, when the respondents were ordered to pay Kwitz SIS a week for injuries described as a bruised side and injured shoulder as long as total incapacity exists.
 Facts made evident by testimony offered by Dr. Joseph F. O'Brien re- suited in the commissioners commit tation Of the remaining payments into a lump sum settlement.
 It was established to the commis- sioner's satisfaction that the claim ant is suffering a loss of 30 per cent. of the use of his right arm. It has been his experience in similar cases that where the use of the arm has a beneficial effect on the injured mem Der, the fact of pending litigation has an injurious influence over the claim ant The payment of lump sum on a specific basis, thereby bringing to a close, acts as a cura- tive measure.

More Trouble for
 the Trolleyrnen
Must Watch for Passengers to Safe guard Speeding Autoists
 in Rear.

motor vehicle department, the Con- necticut Company has issued a bull letin to managers and superintendents of all local branches of the trolley system that prospective passengers should not be encouraged to leave the curb when signalling for street cars, thus exposing themselves to the danger of being run down by ap- preaching automobiles. The follow ing is a copy of the bulletin issued by Vice-President and General Manager J. K. Punderford:
 "Complaint has been received that some motOrmen are not on the look out for passengers at regular stop ping points, neCessitatlng passengers leaving the sidewalk and standing in the street near the car tracks in order to be sure of the cars stopping. This is liable to endanger prospective pas sengers from being run over by auto mobilists and 1 wish you would bull letin motormen and conductors to be on the lookout for prospective pas sengers on the sidewalk at regular stopping points.
 that people who intend to take a car should stay on the sidewalk or curb until the car has stopped to receive them. The law requires motor vehicles to come to stop before proceeding past a standing trolley car, and this gives prospective trolley passengers protection, provided they observe the caution about keeping out of the road until the trolley car has stopped. The danger is often great est just before the car has stopped because autoists, upon perceiving that the trolley car is about to stop, put on speed to pass the car before 1t is brought to a standstil1

While recently the New Haven Chamber has been laying low'' in labor matters, past perform ances of that body and some present activities of some of it's prominent members will furnish the committee with ample data along. the line de- sired.

Thoroughly convinced that every member of organized labor, not only in New Haven but i'll the state, must have labor paper to get the truth about industrial conditions and the political situation as 1t affects labor this fall, the New Haven Trades Council last night, after a thorough discussion of conditions, appointed a committee of seven to wait upon every local union i'll the district with in the next 30 days and arrange for the delivery of The Labor News to every individual member of the or ganizations. Past performances of the daily press, in beclouding issues af- fecting the workers and the extreme likelihood of their going to even further extremes during the coming months, were discussed with the re- suit that The Labor News will be extended until it reaches the home of every organized man hereabouts.

Hartford Man Not
 For Labor Board
May Yet Get Place, However, as An other Labor Member Has
 Resigned.

John D. Hynes, station master at the Hartford railroad station, who was named by Senator Mclean for a place or the Railroad Labor Board, will not get the position, just now at least, as President Harding on Wednesday renoninated A. O.. Wharton of Missouri, representative of the labor element, whose term was to expire. It was expected that MT Wharton was to retire.
 All hope is not yet lost, however, of getting the Hartford man on the board as Albert Philips, another mem Der of the Labor group on the board, has sent his resignation to President Harding, to become effective on April Is. Mr. Phillips is i'll and has already gone to California to try to recover his health.
 It has been determined that w. A. Phillips of Kansas City, Mo-, who was recommended to the President as the first choice of the yardmasters' asso- ciation, while Mir Hynes was named as second choice, is no longer in the railroad business, and this fact, it is believed, might disqualify him for membership on the board.

Sperry Co. Still
 Out in Greenwich
Hasn't Attempted to Resume Con- tract Stopped Two Weeks
 Ago by Owner
Especial to The Labor News.)

Greenwich, April 7.-Despite the claims of the Sperry Engineering Company of New Haven, as publish ed in a New Haven daily newspaper, that it intended to go ahead with it's contract here under "open shop" con ditions, the company has as yet not made the attempt from what can be gathered here and will not be able to get away with 1t if it does In the statement by the company, as pub lished, the assertion was made that local labor officers had asked the owner of the buildings to have the Sperry company busted or compelled to do the job "fair"
 This is not true, but the owner of the building instructed his secretary to request the Sperry company to re- move it's men, before any union officer had visited him. He then asked Sec retary Chandler of the Joint Confer ence Board to meet him and discuss the matter. He told Mr. Chandler of his action and Mr. Chandler in turn replied that the unions would not in terfere if he wanted non-union men to do the job but that the unions did not want union and non-union men working together as if any one was K the union men would get the blame for it. The owner then declared he desired the job done by union men and it was understood by him that the company was to employ union help and comply with local condi- tions.
 After the company had been stop ped a representative came here and was told by union officers that no objection would be made to bringing men from New Haven if they were all union men or all non-union men, the unions offering to cooperate in finding living places for them if union men. That was two weeks ago but up to date no further attempt has been made by the Sperry company to resume work, either with union or non-union men.

UNIONS PROTEST
 FEDERAL DUMPING
Firing of Printing Bureau Employees
 Charged to Political Jobbing.

Washington, April 7.-Protest was made to President Harding this week by the National Federation of Fed eral Employes against the sudden re- moval Friday of Directors James l.. Wilmeth and 28 other officials of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and the immediate filling of their posi- tions by new appointees. No official explanation of the action has been made other than that 1t resulted from an inquiry by the department of jus tice into the bureaus operation.
 The summary dismissal of Director Wilmeth and his associates was de- nounced to President Harding by President Luther C. Steward of the National Federation as inpugning their character and taking away their civil service status.
 A separate protest from the Wom- ans union of the bureau was made at the same time against the removal of four women executives whose places were filled by men. This would close the avenue of promotion to thousands of ambitious women employees, Presi- dent Harding was told.
