LABOR GAINS IN COMMONS
 IS FORECAST

London. Nov. 1O.-(By Radio to I. N. S)-Great Britain's hectic po1iti- cal campaign today swung into its f1- nal stage with but three more work ing' days before the general election.
 Former Premier Lloyd George is getting a triumphant reception every where he appears in Wales, where he is the national idol. Despite the news from Wales the Daily Express, chief press opponent of the former premier, predicted that Lloyd George would get less than forty seats in the next House of Commons. On the other hand the Chronicle. main supporter of the for mer premier, jubilantly predicts vic tory.
 It is generally agreed that the La borites and the Asquith Liberals will increase their seats in commons and 1t will be mainly at the expense of the national Liberal party, the party supporting Lloyd George.
 Premier Andrew Bonar Law will go to Manchester tomorrow and later will go to Glasgow. Both are in dustria1 centers and the Premier will reveal what he plans to do for labor and industry.

SOLDIER TABLET NOT READY FOR
 ARMISTICE DAY

The Soldier Memorial Tablet which was to have been moved from the City Hall corridor to City Hall Green and placed on a suitable boulder, will not be ready by tomorrow. Armisttce Day, Director of Public Works George M. CCughlin announced today.
 Director Coughlin advertised some time ago for a boulder suitable to hold large slab on which are sev- eral hundred names of ex-service boys who died fighting in the World War. The names were to be checke d up and several added. Director Coughlin had many offers but not one boulder could meet requirem
 The greatest trouble" Director Coughlin said today. was that when we did find a boulder that might have suited the purpose, it was so old that if it was moved from it's resting place it would crack in the middle, render ing it useless"
 The, plan for mounting the me m orial will be abandoned, he iThdicat- ed, and new one substituted that will serve the purpose equally IS well. Alderman Costello in a resolution condemned the location of the present one, stating that it was in an out-or- the-way place and was a disgrace to the honor of the dead heroes. lie

EXPECT REPORT FROM ORDINANCE
 REVISION BODY

At the next meeting of the Com mon Council the special ordinance revision committee, created some ten years ago to bring Up to date the ordinances and amendments to the city charter, is expected to report the committee having received inst1uc- t1ons from the retiring ordinance committee to complete its work as far as 1t is done, and report.
 Attorneys William Redden and Josuah Me1tzer comprise the commit tee. They formerly received s1,0OO yearly as compensation for their ser vices. Some time ago the mayor de- manded report from the committee and declared that it had enough time in which to do it's work. It will also be up to the council to find S1-- 900 for their services, the Board of Apportionment having declined to ap- propriate the money this year.
 The lack of an up-to-date ordin- ance book causes no end of work for attaches of the city clerks office When an important matter comes up they are required to search through fthe records to make sure that one or dinance does not conflict with anoth- CT

Obtain Injunction Against Gasoline
 Pumping Station

4 temporary injunction restraining the General Auto Supply company from erecting a gasoline pumping station directly east of the Stratord avenue bridge was signed yesterday by Judge Christopher L. Avery of the Superior court The injunction was obtained by Attorney Maurice E. Res nick for Samuel Holdswirth, who claims that since he has occupied the premises for 12 years. uninterruptedly, he has the priority. He does not claim that he has the right to the premises over the rightful owner. The question of who the fightful owner is will be one of the deciding factors in the case. The General Auto Supply company contend that they rented the premises from the Pleasure Beach in terests and that permission to erect the pumping station was granted them by the Common Council

THE LIBERIAN LOAN.

The House Of Representatives by
close vote passed tho resolution
authorizing the loan Of $4,000, 0O0)
five million dollars to the Republic
Of Liberia. The disappointing part
OF the whole business is that the
Democratic members were solidly
against the measure, while some
forty Republicans Joined them in tho
effort to defeat it. This was a legacy
handed down by President Woodrow
Wilson's administration, for it was
during his term OF Office that an
agreement was entered into by this
government, assuring the Republic
that the money would be forthcom-
ing.
1t now goes to the United States
Senate, where an effort will be made
to pass the measure. The Republican
Administration is Maving "the time
OF its life' holding its forces in line
against the militant Democrats and
the recalcitrant Republicans. While

"A still tongue makes wise
