CLIO. Takes Risdon Strike Vote onight
 Company Refuses
 To Accept Locol
 As Mems Aqent

Start of strike tomorrow against the Waterbury branch of the Ris- don Manufacturing Company will be recommended to the Risdon unit of the c. I. O. by local union leaders at special meeting at Garden Hall tonight at 8.
 The impending strike threat materia kzed after company repre- sentatives, at a conciliation confer ence this morning, announced they would not recognize Local 25l, Inter- national Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers, c. I. O., as bar gaining agent for the workers. The meeting had been arranged by U. s. Conciliator Joseph M Tone, spe- cial representative of the U. s. De- partment of Labor.
 Our people have reached the li- init of their patience declared John J. Driscou, M. M. S. w. field representative and State c. I. O. secretary. He charged that the companys refusal to negotiate with the union committee constituted a "clear-cut attempt by the company to provoke trouble"
 The union spokesman said hat Local 251 has been attempting to negotiate a contract with the con- pany for over a year, following a National Labor Relations Board election, in November of 1914, in which Local 251 had been designated bargaining agent for Risdon en- ployes.
 The strike call, which Mir Dris- coll estimates would involve about l20 workers, was endorsed by Thom- as Vaccaro, chairman of the shop committee at Risdon. Both expect that the unit membership will vote strike action at the meeting tonight
 MT. Driscoll claimed that the aver age pay at Risdon is 10 cents an hour less than in other firms in the Waterbury area which do similar work.
 The Risdon management, he said. refused to grant number of stand ard contract provisions which are in effect at other factories in the area. Chief among these, he said are maintenance of union member ship, check off of dues, and clause providing for the peaceful settlement of differences through arbitration.
 John Mankowski, member of the M. M. s. w. executive board. has al- ready telegraphed union headquar- ters in Chicago for permission to call the strike against Risdon. Ear Her this year, following a strike vote, Risdon workers were due to walk out but union leaders ordered a last minute postponement.

||Corpses Clutter Streets
British Troops Slowly Restore Order in City

Calcutta, Aug. 19-CUP)- The death toll in three days of rioting between Hindus and Moslems in the Calcutta streets was estimated be- tween 2,000 and 5000 today. The frenzy apparently had passed, and the city moved slowly toward normal.
 The British-owned news paper The Statesman, which was attacked by mob in the three-day rioting, published the 2,OOO-3 5000 death estimate. It said the injured numbered many thousand. Other sources estimated 4,0O0 hurt
 Piles of corpses still cluttered the streets, but mass fighting had dwindled to sporadic clashes and fires. British troops, shooting when necessary, began to get the city under control yesterday It will take several days before complete calm is enforced, even if no further major outbreaks occur. A government statement enpha- sized the difficulties involved in disposing of hundreds of corpses left in streets, rivers and ponds as fighting spurted through the city. A stench of death permeated the sun-scorched city.
 Hospital and emergency feeding facilities were overtaxed. Uncol- lected garbage accumulated, and there was a threat of small pox and cholera.
 A few shops and restaurants re- opened Sunday night under mill tary protection. easing slightly the food shortage aggravated by the forced commercial shutdown dur ing the riots Authorities were re- moving to evacuee camps groups of Hindus and Mosle1ns living in com munities dominated by the opposite religious body.
 More than 1,2O0 fire alarms were sounded during the three days.

KingChorges Peace Farley Wasting Time
 Says Conference
 Is Tangled Up
 In Procedure

Paris, Aug. 19-(UP)-Prime Min ister W. L. Mackenzie King of Can- ada charged today that the Peace Conference, which in its fourth week still was tangled up on details Of procedure, was wasting vital time" and "endangering the future by fu- tile discussions"
 King, standing among the graves of CanadaiS dead in the Dieppe raid four years ago today, exhorted the peacemakers to remember the price at which freedom was won and have done with the quibbling which has prevented the conference from even coming to grips with it's task.
 Three of the conference commis- sions-Italian, Hungarian and Fin nish-met at the opening of the fourth week of the meeting. Ponder ous debates on technicalities kept them from getting down to work on the peace treaty drafts. @
 Third Attack In Two Days
 Kings castigation of the laggard pace of the conference was the third in a few days. Last week New zea- land charged that there was too much "quack quack quack" while Sen. Tom Connally, (D,-TexD, be- fore departing for Paris referred to the conference as yah yah yah affair.
 The Canadians criticism was couched in graver terms, however Iya a1 at Dieppe for the Canadians who died there in the first Allied blow of consequence at the western rim of Adolf Hitler'S fortress Europe.
 There is not enough of the kind of spirit required King said, his eyes rowing over the white crosses marking the graves of 900 Canadi- ans.
 Wants Words Conveyed
 Turning gravely to a group of dis tinguished Frenchmen, he said:
 Mark my words because I know they represent the wishes of the people of the world. want my words to go to the conference in Paris.
 T say to the representatives of the nations there that their high est duty, their only duty, is to bring into being decent instruments of peace without endangering the future by futile discussions.
 He inspected.the Canadian graves, walking slowly along the neat rows of crosses. A Canadian guard of honor fired the traditional three volleys in calute to their fallen com rades. French and Canadian repre- sentatives laid wreaths on a monu- ment to the Canadians, and religi- ous services were held.

nancing of public works through the issuance of revenue bonds. WAR DEPARTMENT EXPENDI. TURES IN ALASKA

Expenditures in Alaska con- templated by the War Department For the next fiscal year are rough ly twice those spent in the Terri tory in any given prewar year by the entire federal establishment, according to information furnish ed Delegate Bartlett and given by the army to the House Appropria- tions Committee.
 For maintenance alone, $l4 4,500,- 900 has been asked and for new construction, S5,90O,0OO. The item for salvage is set at S327,O0
 Work outlined for Nome, where S495,000 would be spent, includes lighting for the airfield. New in- stallations planned would cost S717,000 at Fort Richardson and S1.l94,000 at Ladd Field. Paving of airstrips and roads and installa- tion of water filter system are on the program for Ladd Field. Funds in the amount of S297, 500 have been requested for expendi- ture at Juneau, $23,6O0 for sal wage operations and $274,OO0 for the army engineers.
 This total expenditure of over S20, ,O00,0 ,000 for maintenance. con- struction and salvage would not include pay and maintenance of troops, amounting to an additional several million dollars.
 Needless to say" said Delegate Bartlett, "the expenditure of this sum, which does not include ap- propriations asked by the Navy Department and the Coast Guard, will go far in providing employ ment in the Territory next year and will mean that the reconver- sion problems, so acute in many setions of the States, will be made much easier in Alaska.
