S275,000 WANTED FOR POST OFFICE
Continued from First Page)

In addition to New Britain, the joint committee recommends that s1,550,o0O be spent for a new site and building in Hartford, retaining the present building as station; $1,215.00o for new site and build- ing in Bridgeport, and sS0o,0OO for additional land and a new building on the present site at Waterbury, making total of $3,s4o,ooo for the state.
 The government owns sites at Branford and Putnam, but has never erected buildings there. These will be erected out of s15, 100000 set aside by section of the Elliott bill. Under this appropriation work is now being done at Branford and plans call for taking care of Put nam later.
 The general provisions of the FL liott act authorize expenditure of $100,000,000 where new federal buildings or remodelling and ex- tension of present structures is badly needed. In this list just sub mitted to congress New Britain Is one of 225 cities urgently needing additional post office space. The cost of taking care Of all these Is es- timated at s176.000,0o0 by the joint committee. Congress will therefore have to choose which cities in each state will receive priority under tho S100.000,000 now available.
 A bill Is now before congress to add s1oo, 100000 to the general pub lie building fund, bringing the total to $2oo,0OO.OOo which would take care of all the building needs. This bill has reasonable chance of pass ing at this congress session. If 1t passes the entire building program can be provided for in the next few years.
 As the law now stands only $10,- 100000 of the s100,o00,0O0 could be spent the first year and no more than s25.0o0,00o in any single year, so that it will be some time before the building program is we'll under way. The matter of preference be- tween cities. the designation Of which buildings shall be taken up the first, second, third or fourth year, must be decided by congress each year when it .appropriates the authorized.
 In addition to the present list of 225 cities with postal receipts of S20,000 or more year which are in need of better postal quarters. for which $176,o0O. 900 is required. the joint committee states there are 2,s11 more cities with re- ceipts of s10,000 or more annually where no federal buildings have ever been erected. To provide buildings for these would cost s17o,4e0,0o 900 more. the joint committee estimates.

Union Lathers Demand
 Strict Law Enforcement

Explaining that only by ~ strict enforcement of the ordinances on lathing can union tradesmen be placed on an equal basis with non- union men, the organized fathers have selected Alfonso Gaquen and Michael Peasicki to seek a confer- ence with building authorities and urge rigid adherence to the law.
 Messrs. Gaquin and Peasicki will visit the building department and ar- range for hearing. They claim union requirements make it neces- sary for them to await inspection on buildings before beginning to lath, but that non-union men, with no such restriction, are in a position to put in longer working days and earn more.

Slade, prin- cipal of the Senior High school, who addressed @ meeting of the Probus club this noon at the Burritt Hotel. MT. Slade stated that the views of adults have changed with the times and the characteristics and condi- tions are different but that the es- sential characteristics of youth are the same.
 However, youth expects all the lib- critics and privileges of adults, while it is not ready or experienced to as- sumo those responsibilities. said MT. Slade. Youths own reserve should not be violated.
 The young people are moro in clined to learn by example than by precept and the adults should see that the ideals are high, that youth copies.

RAILS AND SHOP
 STOCKS DIFFER
One Goes Up and the Other
 Goes Down

New York, Jan. 1T CF-Railroad and industrial shares moved in op- posite directions in today's stock market. Buying of the'rails centered largely in the stocks of companies mentioned in connection with pend- ing mergers while chief selling pres sure in the industrials was directed against the usual leaders in the steel, motor and equipment Call money rates were stiffer despite the large increase in reserve shown in last Saturdays clearing house statement.
 The principal business develop ments of the day were reductions in Portland Cement and Tank Wagon Kerosene prices and the placing of Schulte Retail Stores common at S3.5O annual basis, instead of per cent annually in common stock. Sell ing of the industrils presumably was inspired by the belief that the recent decline in bank clearings and freight traffic indicated coming re- cession in general business.
 In the rail group, the highest prices in years were recorded by Wheeling and Lake Erie common and preferred, Western Maryland common and preferred. Lehigh Val ley and Wabash preferred A. Coalers gave a good exhibition of group strength.
 Kinney company common broke eight points to 2S, new record low, on unconfirmed rumors of unfavora- ble dividend action at the next meet ing. Case Threshing Machine sagged nearly 5 points before the end of the third hour, Pierce Arrow preferred and Baldwin, General Motors, U. s.

 After the battle of Las Perlas a fortnight ago when liberals severe ly defeated the conservatives, Mena said the liberal army advanced into the interior and had surrounded Rama when the marines arrived. Mena said he asked the American commander to define the limits of neutrality and was informed that he would be provided with a map but that so far he had not received it.
 Bought Arms in U. S.
 Mena denied that Mexicans were fighting in his army or that liberal arms had been obtained from Mex ico. He said his munitions were purchased in the United States last May with money taken from funds in the national bank at Bluenelds.
 ''The revolution" he continued, lis not one of conservatives against liberals but of the Atlantic coast against the interior (meaning the government at Managua.) Customs dues always are collected on the coast, but none of the money is used at Bluefields. It is sent to the in- terior which already has a school, electric light and water supplies and all modern conveniences while the coast that supplies the interior with money has nothing.

Christian General Fails

Peking, Jan. IT R-Letters reach ing here today from Shensi province show that the missionaries there who ardently believed in Feng Yu- Hsaing, the Christian general. and anticipated tranquility in that prov ince after the arrival of his army there, have been bitterly dis illusioned.
 Following General Feng's capture of the province, the letters report, elaborate efforts were made in every center to stir up anti-Christian feel ing. Posters were exhibited and handbills widely scattered denounc- ing Christianity in the strongest terms. Students and agitators were reported to have broken up Christian celebrations in Sianfu. provincial capital and elsewhere. smashing signs over church doors and trying to force native Christians to recant.
 The students petitioned the au- thorities that all church and foreign property be coniscated and the for eigners driven out of China. Some of the most powerful leaders were declared to be preaching mob law to the coolie crowds.
 Most of the English Baptist mis- sionaries have left the province.
