State CO1cernus Protest Tariff Reduction Would
 Be Disastrous
.lIsneciaI to the Denaocratl

Especial to the Democrat
 Washington, ID. C., Oct 20.-Sen- ntor Lonergan today placed before the committee for reciprocity in- formation the protests of the Snei- ton Tack company at shelton, Con necticuf, and the Ball and socket Manufacturing company at Vest chester, Conn, against any reclprq- cal trade. agreements with foreign nations tending to lower the tarim duty on one -piece cut-out thumb taclxs and other tacks manufac- .tured by these companies.
 :. The senator pointed out to the that the tariff commits sion had investigated the inporta- ion of the. thumb tacks in this country two years ago and found that domestic manufacturers were So seriously affected by foreign .competftioh that the commission Increased the existing duties~50 per cent which was the maximum in- crease, by executive decree, allow able at that time!
 ~ Manufacturers have since point ed out. he said, that the new duty was not sufficient to reduce ir1n- ports and that imports have con- tinued to increase, particularly from Szechoslovakia
 The manufacturers complain, he said, that any further lowering of the duty will throw hundreds of employees out of work in Connec- ticut and jeopardiz investments of thousands of dollars. One of the companies, he said, expressed par- ticular displeasure with the recent reciprocal .tariff agreement with Cuba. Both industries indicate that tariff preferential of 50 per cent will be absolutely necessary and that even with this preferential American industries vii face ex- treme 1difficulties against foreign competition.

The old woman could cook and that was all So she began to bake bread and loaf by loaf the old man went ou, and built up a route for home made bread.

It was most disturbing but we rose to 12,00O feet after leaving Harris burg and although it was below zero at that height the riding was smooth and the going good. We had blankets and kept warm.
 Handed at Pittsburgh at i a. m. in deep snow, and cold, 3 below zero. Left Pittsburgh and from then on had weather and smooth sailing.

GUARANTEE PLAN
 PLEASES BANKS
Senators Advance Idea to Extend Temporary Per-
 iOd Beyond July |

Washington, D. C.. Feb GA plan to extend the temporary guar antee period of the Federal De- posit Insurance Act beyond July 1, 1884, has been advanced in the Senate by Senators Lonergan. demo, and Walcott repub, both Of Connecticut.
 FolloWing q conference with democratic leaders, Senator Loner- gan indicated that an amendment to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act would be prepared for presen- tation to the Senate within u few days.
 Connecticut banks have been pleased with operation of the guar antee plan, Senator Lonergan said, and want to continue indefinitely under it's provisions. Anticipa ting, however. that 1t might be difficult for them to comply with require ments for the permanent plan ef- fective July | because of Connecti- cut laws and interpretations of the of banking based theron, the senator said they are urging an extension of the tempo- rary period. No serious objections have been raised to affliation of the Conencticut banks, under the tenn porary plan. he said.
 The present law guarantees bank deposits of not more than $2,500 for full value up to July 1, 1884, the senator explained. and after that time the permanent plan would automatically become effec- tive and the temporary plan would be dropped. Under the permanent plan deposits up to $10,00O would be fully guaranteed: deposits be- anteed for 50 per cent.

Plebiscite Vote Offers Body Problem in Main=
 taining Order
BY STEWART BROWN United Press Staff Correspondent

Geneva - (UP) - The League of Nations is studying measures to prevent the outbreak of civil wa rin the Saar following reports that Nazi and anti-Nazi voters are on the verge of spilling blood.
 An increase in the present Saar police force. or the creation of an international gendarmerie prob ably will be proposed. VI
 League officials fear there may be a serious outbreak at any mos ment Feeling is running high in the territory. The League may be forced to give some guarantee: that there will not be reprisals against those who vote agaiDst whatever form of government the Saar eventually gets.
 The Saar voters have three choices: First. union with France. second, upon with Germany, or lastly, continuation of the present ! league control. The Council of the league. voting by a mapority, decides what shall be done with the territory, taking into consid- eration the results of the vote.
 AS the league advances its preparations for thei vote it is l considered certain that violence and terrorism will increase. On servers look into the future with forebodings.
