TO WEIGH
REORGANIZATION.
Substantial Deficits Cited
With Need to Reduce
Company Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 13.-It was re-
liably reported in Wall Street today
that directors of the Postal Telegraph
& Gable Corp. win consider the poSsi-
bility Of reorganizing the company at
meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
The company has been showing SUBJ
stantial deficits for some time, which
have been drain upon International
Telephone & Telegraph Co., the parent
corporation. The question now to be
decided, it was explained, is whether
International should continue to make
up PostaPs losses or whether Postal
should reorganize to cut down its
charges.
International has long sought to
bring about merger of Postal with
Wetern Union on the theory that two
domestic land line telegraphic COM
panies we're wastefully duplicating
equipment and facilities. But lacking
a favorable response from Western
Union or action from Congress that
would permit such a merger, Postal
has become an increasing burden to
the company, even though Inter-
nationals profits from its foreign
business have increased and more than
offset the Postal losses. In 1894 Postal

PRESIDENT WILL MEET LEADERS
 ON VISIT WEST
Only Two Set Speeches But He May Decide to
 Change Program

Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept. 19. - (UP)-While President Roosevelts forthcoming swing across the coun- try ostensibly will be to inspect so- cial and economic conditions, poli- tical observers pointed out today that expected meetings with party leaders along the westward trail will lend the trip strong political touch.
 Although he has decided against set speeches, except at Boulder Dam and San Diego, the chief ex- ecutive not by any means ruled out meetings with the democratic lieu tenants who helped elect him in 1892. From them e is expected to obtain first hand Information that may be used in map ing strategy for the national elections.
 Plans Are Complete
 MT. Roosevelt's plans are com plet& The finishing touches were put to them after a summer White House discussion attended by Post master General James A. Farley and Charles Nicholson, publicity di- TeCtOE OI tuS ueHOCIdtlC hdtIOudl committee.
 The fact that he contemplates only two speeches does not neces- sarily mean, observers pointed out, that he will remain silent for the rest of the trip. While his schedule calls for q five-day crossing to Cal ifornia, 1t was argued he would have ample time for short, extemporan- eous addresses at several important stops.
 To many. however, the journey westward is regarded in the light of an inspection of social and econ- omic conditions. Minimizing poli- tical implications they explained such a survey would provide the president with invaluable data when he begins consideration of his next legislative program.
 1t was generally expected he would depart from Washington Sept. 26 arriving at Los Angeles Oct. 1, or 2.

Continued from Page 1.) "plenty of trouble" They say the airplane will prove the special nemesis of the submarine.
 Naval and military experts here point out that the threatened con- fiict in the Mediterranean should settle this controversy for all time. inasmuch as the Mediterranean comprises one of the worlds most favorable threaters of operation for both airplanes and submarines.
 Carry Heavy Bomb Loads
 The planes, operating from bases, would not be required to carry heavy fuel loads. and there- fore could carry heavier bomb loads.
 Also, in any single major battle which might be imagined between Italy's air force and Britain's sea force, bombing planes might well hurl their loads at the warships, return to their bases, take on an- other load of fuel and bombs and return to. the fray for second attack, naval experts said.
 The warships which Britain now has concentrated In the Mediter- ranean include most of the newest and most powerful in the British fleet. They are equipped with the latest that British armament ex- perts have been able to devise in anti aircraft defense.
 British Air Force Strong
 Tn addition, the British air force would have a fleet of 300 to 500 fighting planes from her airplane carriers and nearby land bases to put into the air for a defense against raiding bombers.

Brass City Cops
 Play New City's

Waterbury policemen today began swinging clubs i'm mur. derous fashion. But they were baseball bats, not nightsticks, and the reason is that the blue. coats began practice today for their game with the TOrring- ton coppers, the contest being slated for the 20th at Wash- ingt0n park.
 Manager Charles McWeeney of the police team today an. nounced that not a single member of fhcs quad Is sure of his post on the team at present. The lineup won't be decided( he said, until he sees how the boys look in practice. Some unkind critics claimed today that after one practice the policemen would be so stiff that they'd give up the idea of a ball game.
 A rebel faction in the de. partment has declared that it won't play in the game against TorringtOn if Manager Nc. Weeney names himself to pitch. But. Charley, und0ubted. ly, will smooth over that diff. fculty.

Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy and Dr. Tecla Hawariat of Ethiopia when he presented the committees plan. Now the committee must await the reply of Italy and Ethi- opia and then report to the coun- cil.
 When Madariaga talked to Aloisi last night, for an hour. Aloisi in- dicated neither acceptance nor re- jection, but closely questioned hlm. He particularly wanted to know about the nationality of advisers to the Ethiopian government pro- vided in the offer.
 Aloisi planned to leave for Rome today to report personally 10 Mussolini.
 Must Be Neutral
 Regards the principal adviser to be named to the Ethiopian government, 1t was learned that Britain will insist that he be a neu- tral, not a representative of any nation closely concerned in Ethi- opia's affairs.
 The key note of the league plan  thority to be in the creation of a five man directorate to supervise Ethiopian affairs. A foreign off, cial to be called "the delegate of the League of Nations to be Negus" Cor emperor) would pre- side over the five advisers. His title would emphasize that the scheme of control was strictly un- der league auspices. Also the committee would report each year to the league council.
 After an hours conference with Captain Eden today, Laval dis closed his own hopelessness about the situation. Aloisi, who had been persuaded by Laval and Eden to go to Rome and acquaint Musso- lini with the state of affairs, post poned his departure an dsome be- lieve he has abandoned it.
 Coupled with news from Rome that Italy intended to reject the league proposals, this was regard ed as dooming conciliation.

NEW ENGLAND IS MAKING GAINS
 WITH BUSINESS
With Exception. of Build- ing Other Groups Are
 Having Good Reports

Boston, Sept. 19-(UP) - New England business continued to gain last week, with the exception of building, Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. said today in the Weekly Trade Re- view.
 The Review cited gain of 1-2 per cent in electric output to point 12 1.2 per cent over year ago; carloadings up A per cent and freight received from connec- tions up 2.5 per cent. Machine tool orders gained and machinery man. ufacturers have placed large big iron requirements.
 Dept. Stores Dissappoint
 August department store sales were disappointing, the review con-. tinued, dropping 3.6 per cent in August, bringing the total for the first 8 months to 2.4 per cent be- low the corresponding 1894 period. September business, thus far, has been better, wholesale orders gain- ed, and the outlook is considered promising.
 Wool consumption continued ac- tive. according to the survey. with Mills busy and some fabric and raw quotations advancing. Some territory wools have risen 3 cents pound in the past weeks. Both cotton and wool yarns are picking up, Rayon yarns are selling well.
 Yarn Prices Firm
 Prices on all grades of yarn are firn." it continued, land it is ex- pected that quotations on rayon yarns before long will be revised upwards. New orders are in sight from cotton mills and the market for finished goods is expanding. Stocks are generally low and the outlook is more favorable"
 Tanners are seeking higher lea ther prices, because of the advance in hides, but shoe manufacturers are resisting this as they are unable to pass the greater costs along, the survey said. Shoe industry Is busy on current orders.
 Massachusetts automobile regis- trations in August rose 2 1-2 per cent over a year ago. while regis trations for the first months in- creased 5.163 or less than per cent.
 Building permits filed in 55 Massachusetts municipalities in Au- gust gained 26.2 per cent from Ju- ly and 32.4 per cent from year earlier.

cabinet on Saturday would be a mere formallty.
 The spokesman reiterated that Italy has said repeatedly it cannot accept any form of inter- national mandate or joint league cooperation for the exploitation of Ethiopia.
 Present Form fingers
 There might be proposals or counter-proposals to the leagues formula, the spokesman said, but in its present form 1t is unaccept- able. The proposals, however, are a tacit admission of barbaric and chaotic internal conditions in Ethiopia, as charged by Italy.
 A further marshalling of Italy's military reserves for war was aTl- nounced today. Prospective sol- diers of the 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914 classes who were rejected during the first military examine tions will be called up for further examination in the second half Of october.

Italy Threatened
 Heapy Penalties
(Continued from Page D

terranean - league men are con- sidering specific penalties against Italy if 1t goes to war, 1t was said authoritatively.
 The committee of five nations which made the leagues final off, fer to Italy and Ethiopia in the name of the league council met to- day to hear from its chairman, Salvador De Madariaga of Spain, the reaction of the Italian and Ethiopian delegates to the offer, which he presnted to them last night.
 Answers by Saturday
 Answers are not expected be- fore Saturday. The Italian cabi- net meets then. It is indicated, however, that Italy regards the offer as absolutely unsatisfactory. Though this does not preclude further negotiations, leaders have resigned themselves to the pros- pect of an Italian, attack on Ethi- opia. Indications were that Ethi- opia was inclined to accept, reluct- antly but as an alternative to war.
 (Benito Mussolini, in an inter. view published today in the Daily Mail of London, called the league proposals as outlined in newspaper reports mot only unacceptable but derisory." The powers, he said, seemed to want to give Italy cou- pie of deserts, one of salt, the other of stone. He asserted that Ethiopia would fare better under Italian influence.)
 War Over Europe Feared
 The crisis, which may spread war over Europe, was fully in the hands, of the league council to- day, with Britain and France ap- parently working together again as they did in old days to preserve peace or enforce 1t if necessary.
 The IA day period during which under league rules Ethiopia might have appealed to the league as- sembly, in which ali nations mem- Der to the league are represented, expired at midnight. Now the council alone, with IA members, but which Britain and France dominate, is in complete charge.
 Council members were discuss ing the advisability of remaining in permanent session for the dura- ton of the crisis - or an Italian Ethiopian war - and moving their headquarters from Geneva to Can nes, on the French Riviera, Octo- Der Is.
 Penalties Promised
 It was indicated that the ques- tion of penal action against Italy is assuming more and more im- portance in leaders minds. It was said authoritatively that France, Britain and other powers whose diplomats face the war danger en- visage the possibility of the fol- lowing penalties or sanctions:
 1-Financial and credit boycott.
 2-Recall of all ambassadors and minister from Rome.
 3-Embargo on exports to Italy by graduated stages.
 4-An economic blockade backed by naval force.
 Until Italy has attacked, the question of penalties cannot arise officially.
 British Envoy Firm
 Anthony Eden, BritaiE's chief league delegate, always .Isistent for real league action against any aggressor, has become suddenly even more firm. It was learned that he rejected attempts of Pierre Laval of France to give Italy even bigger concessions than it would get under the final peace plan pre- sented last night.
 The league committee of five today merely heard Madariaga tell what he said to and heard from
