BRITAIN WARNED
BY MACDONALD
TO STEM PANIC
PleadS for Establishment of
Stable Rule as Election
NearS.
BY HARRY L. PERCY
United Press stan Correspondent

LONDON, Oct. s.-Great Britain
turned toward a general election
today, warned by Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald that a stable
government must be established to
avoid financial panics, social dis
tress, and perhaps even revolu-
ton"
Macdonald included in his warn
Ing other nations as well as our
selves" and added, there is no rea-
son for this happening except hut-
tering hearts" He appealed for
support of the national government
IN radio address rebroadcast to
the United States.
The prime minister accused the
late Labor government, which he
headed, Of Sinking "the unpleasant
duty Of carrying out what it adj
mitted to be its duty"
Points to Navy Strike
He said that prospects for the ma
tional government to finish the de
serted work" were promising at first,
but when certain naval incidents,
exaggerated and misrepresented,
we're known all over the world, the
task for which the government was
formed could not succeed"
The certain naval incidents"
we're disorders in the Atlantic fleet.
due to reduction of enlisted mems
pay, which caused passive strike"
of sailors and cancellation of fleet
maneuvers.
Macdonald said the national gov
ernment's economy bill and supple
mentary budget prevented a catas-
trophe when sterling went off the
gold standard. A cut in the value
of money, he said, would be far
more disastrous than cuts in pay
made in the economy bill.
Warns of Bankruptcy
He warned that the state would
become bankrupt unless imports
and exports were balanced then
said the government would try to
decrease imports through some
form of prohibition of certain lux
uries and other unnecessary things,
or it might mean a tariff which
would act as an impeachment to i'm
ports coming into the country"
The Socialist opposition" the
Labor party now headed by Arthur
Henderson, lost no time in defying
Macdonald and his alliance with
sections of Labor's political enemies.
Henderson addressed the annual
conference of the Labor party IT
Scarborough, and declared the
mean, sordid period of intrigue has
ended and revealed to the nation
the complete lack of insight the
government has shown"

XXTHEN love came to Aimee Nc

panionate marriage"
There is reason, however, to re-
gard Aimee's marriage to Harold
Mcpherson as one of the first COM

the principles of a trial union to be
terminated by mutual agreement

Harold was a grocery clerk in

A few weeks later he asked Aimee
to be his wife.
Before she said EYES," it was I'M

call to missionary service she would
heed it if it took her to the ends of

Teachers Agree To
 One Year Pay Cut
Mayor Tells of Citys Financial Status in Talk Before
 School Personnel

Mayor Crank Hayes gave the teachers an insight on the need of a salry cut in brief talk before a special meeting of the Waterbury Teachers association held yester- day afternoon at the Crosby high school which resulted in approval by the association of the ten per cent salary cut for the ensuing year. This will not constitute a permanent salary cut but is purely a proposition whereby the teach CTS as well as other city employees. waive ten per cent of their salaries for the term of one year.
 The meeting was open only to members and honorary members of the association and the press was not granted admittance.
 The mayor explained the need of the shrinkage in the salary pay

POLL STATE LAWYERS ON WET-DRY ISSUE
HEARING EVIDENCE
 IN $l5,OOO ACTION
Miss Julia Carpinella Tells Interesting Story in the
 Superior Court
AGAINST GRAND STORES

A story of being imprisoned il the defendant company's office for three hours by a private detective. until she had signed a confession admitting having stolen twenty-five cents was related on the witness stand in superior court to-day by Miss Julia Carpinella as trial of her $15,00O false arrest case against the F. & W. Grand Stores, Inc, got underway before Judge John Richard Booth and jury.
 Miss Carpinella said she was em- ployed for three years prior to last January 22d. the date she was dis charged. She said she was in charge of the millinery department and also subbed on the infants wear counter during lunch hour. She told how it came about that she was taken to the managers office and prevented from leaving from 2 o'clock until o'clock last January 22d. She said lady came into the store and purchased two boutonnieres at 25 cents apiece. After taking 50 cents from the cus- toner and ringing it on the cash register, she said the customer changed her mind and decided she only wanted ont. Rather than wait for the floor lady to return from checking out the employees at noon hour, she paid the lady back 25 cents.
 Another customer came in and purchased two 10 cent articles and one 25 cent article. Instead of ringing 45 cents on the register, she said she only rang 20 cents, in order that the cash register would balance.
 She said she was notified to re- port at the managers office. Ar irving there, she said the office was cleared of everyone but herself and MT Becker. She said Becker ad- ministered her to a gruelling ques- tioning for three hours, until in desperation, she signed a paper not knowing what 1t was. She said she learned later it was a confession, admitting she had stolen 25 cents. She denied on questioning by At torney Herman J. Weisman that she had ever taken any money and was emphatic in her assertions that she was always considered an hon. est worker.
 Attorney Terence F. Carmody appearing for the defendant, was satisfied to simply question the witness on the location of the counters in the store and the rela- ton of the different tally sheets and rules of the company.
 An unusual feature of the case is that two brothers, Attorney Her man and Attorney Marcus H. Weis- man, appear for the plaintiff and father and son, Attorney Terence and Attorney Edward r. Carmody, represent the defendant.

All lawyers of the state, includ- ing local members of the Connec. ticut Bar association are receiving in the mali to-day, letters on pro- hibttion referendum being conduct ed by the Waterbury Bar associa- tion. The letters announce that the action is in keeping with a vote passed on Oct by the. local bar association, to canvass the lawyers of the state, on the same plan as that conducted by the American Bar association, for an expression of opinion on the prohibition ques- tion.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy, pres ident of the local group. Attorney J. Gregory Lynch and Attorney J.. Joseph Smith, form the committee appointed to take the poll. A copy Of the letter sent out follows:
 To all lawyers practicing in Connecticut:-
 Re: Prohibition Referendum
 At the monthly meeting of the Waterbury Bar Association, held at the Waterbury hotel, October 5, 1881, the following resolution was unanimou ously passed:
 VOTED: That the Waterbury Bar Association canvass the attor- neys at law practicing in the State of Connecticut on the prohibition question in the same manner and method as did the American Bar Association, for the purpose of ob- taining an expression of the opinion of the lawyers practicing in Con necticut, on this question, and the president is empowered to appoint a committee of three (3) to carry out the provisions of this resolu- ton.
 In accordance with this resoiu- tion you are being sent the enclosed ballots for an expression of your opinion. The first question to be decided is whether or not the lawyers of Connecticut desire to participate in a ref erendum vote, and 1t has been de- cided to submit this first question on a separate ballot. If major ity of the attorneys practicing in Connecticut and participating in the ballot, vote that there should be no referendum taken, that will settle the question as to the pro- priety and advisab bility of this step, and the votes on the main ques- ton will be destroyed without be- ing counted.
 To avoid delay in carrying out the will of the majority, if the re0erendum be approved and as a saving of labor and expense. It was determined to send out at the same time, another ballot on the second question. which, if 1t was decided there should be referen-

ments as 1t Is evident that tax collections will be much smaller this year. He pointed to the fact that there is one million dollars outstanding in taxes due the city though one month has elapsed since the due date.
 This step, the reduction of sal- aries will eliminate the possibility of increasing taxes. As it is at the present time, the administra- ton is doing all in it's power to alleviate the burden being carried by the taxpayers, said the mayor.
 The present salary scale will re- main in effect as this does not al- ter the salaries, said Mayor Hayes. It is only a temporary step and if conditions are bettered, the old scale will be reinstated.
 Miss Daisy Lord, president of the association, presided.

His Friends Give Some Reasons Why He Should Get the Presidential Nomination

New York, Dec 1.-UP)- Judge Samuel Seabury's campaign for the democratic nomination for president will be pushed in three distinct phases. 1t was indicated by his packers to-day.
 Those phases are: His widely publicized attacks on Tammany Hall over a period of 30 years. His avowed adherence to states rights as a major issue of American gov ernment. His record as a candi- date for office and on the bench in reference to labor and social legis- lation.
 Last February Seabury said In an interview that '':f we are to ad- here to the federal principle, we must check those tendencies which encourage the extension of powers of the national government and trespass upon the Jurisdiction of the states"
