It has begun none too soon and ap- parently none too strenuously, for Germany’s initial delivery for Septem- ber under the new economic agree- ment has fallen many thousands of tons short of the promised minimum of 200,000. It is scant satisfaction for Switzerland that its loan to Germany is reduced accordingly. In anticipation of having to strug- gle along with 200,000 tons or less of coal a month, the Swiss government has cut to the bone the railroad traf- fic, ralsed rates and made it so diffi- cult and so expensive to travel that only necessity is apt to induce a Swiss to move from one part of this tiny country to another. The government also has issued drastic regulations governing heating. The sale of cer- tain types of electric stoves was far- bidden, while electriclans were for- bidden to install new switches and lines such as would be necessary for utilizing stoves. Hotels and penslorvls may heat only one-quarter of their rooms and must close their cafes and restaurants at 11 instead of 1 o’clack. The hours of opening stores are re- duced. The movies, cabarets and variety theaters must close at least twelve days out of each month. The tem- perature of theaters or of hotels must not exceed a certain degree. Res- taurants and cafes have to lop off the best two hours of their business by early closing, and are forbidden to serve warm meals before nine in the morning. If coal were Switzerland’'s only shortage, she would face the winter with some degree of equanimity. But TERSELY TOLD Legal Advisory Boards for Each Drait District Appointed Hartford—Governor Holcomb has formally appointed legal advisory boards for each draft district of Con- necticut. He had submitted his nom- inations to the authorities at Wash- ington by whom they were approved.

New Haven—A general strike of the cigar makers of New Haven, tying up every union cigar factory in the city that fails to meet the demands set, was called at b o’clock, yesterday afternoon, when the men finished their day’s work. It is estimated that about 650 men walked out following a refusal on the part of the manufac- turers to grant an increase in wages which was demanded by the union, ‘The demand of the cigar makers is that the present scale of prices for plece work shall be increased $1 a thousand on the & cent brands, $2 a thousand on the 10 cent brands and $3 per thousand on the brands above 10 cents. To this scale the manufac- turers would not submit and, when the men left their benches yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock it was with the understanding that they are not to reurn in the morning unless there is a concession made by the manu- facturers.

New Haven.—Thrown from a load of hay when the wagon overturned on Main street, near Tremont street this morning, Peter Samuelson, a farmer ! living in the Turkey hill section of Orange, was taken to the Griffin hos- pital in an unconsclous condition. It | was thought first that Samuelson was badly hurt, but he revived later at the hospital and his injuries are not more serious than a possible frac- ture of one of the ribs, a bruised hip and minor contusions. The man was | stunned by his fall from the wagon to the pavement and it was an hour or more after he reached the hospital that he revived sufficiently to give his name. $ Too Close to Track. Derby.—Judging from facts that | have come to light in connection with the deaths of D. Edgar Tullock and Farl T. Brown on the Derby turnpike, Friday evening the men had appar- ently stopped their car close to the trolley tracks and were at work, re- pairing the tire, believing that they had plenty of room in which to do this with safety, when the trolley car came along and struck one and possibly both of them. In view of the noise that an approaching trolley is certain to make, this would appear to be the most logical answer as to the manner in which the double tragedy occurred. o0 Jnur manny :;'332, s e HARTFORD Why Not a New Fur Coat or Set for Thanksgiving?

Of flour and breadstuffs she has just enough, on the 250-grams-a- day-for-person basis mow in force, to last until late in the winter. Unless America permits the export of wheat In some measure, Switzerland will soon have to drop to 100 grams a day. The economic department of the government has just issued a circular calling attention to the fact that, in addition to a shortage ©of coal and wheat, there is all too little cooking fats and oils on hand. In some dis- tricts they have disappeared alto- gether. Forelgn potatoes are to be had only in two cantons—Berne and Basel—and even wood is scarcer than It ever has been. So Switzerland s trimming its eco- nomic sails as rapidly and as drastic- nlly as it may, It isn't the easlest task In the world and it is harder because there is political opposition to every move made by the government. Pres- ldent Schulthess had one of the full days of his palitical career recently when he tried to explain to refrac- tory deputies in parllament why It was impossible to lower prices when roodstuffs and kindred things con- dnued to become scarcer and scarcer.
