Busy—Some Employes Refuse Job Without Time and One-Half for Overtime. Rockville, Jan. 28.—Overtime work was started in the plant of the Rock Manufacturing company last night and it is planned to run overtime four nights each week until 9 o'clock. The plant began full time work this week. Last night the picker house and the carding room employes worked, but it is planned to operate the spinning and dressing rooms on the same schedule. This mill is working on a large order and in order to fill up the looms, which have been idle for some time waiting for the warps, the own- ers put it up to the earding room, picker house, spinning room and dressing department employes to with the approval of all the employe: could have work. In doing this the manufdcturers did away with the wartime schedule of time . .and one- half for overtime. This did not meet with the approval of all tht employes. The picker house and carding room men accepted the propositipn ot over- time work, but the spifiners and dressers faid they would not work un- til they were offered time¢ and one- half for overtime work. It is hoped to settle the matter among the em- ployes of these two departments. SEEK EARLY VOTE ON CALDER BILL Plan for Emergency Fegderal Regula- uon of Coal Industry May Be Settled by March 4. Washington, Jan. 28.—Proponents of the Calder bill providing for emergency federal regulation of the coal Industry and even operation of the mines, plan to seek a vote in the senate on the measure before the present session ends March 4. Mem- bers of the manufacturers’ committee said today it would be reported out Monday or Tuesday. Some modifica- tion of certain provisions is expected and it was said there would be a mi- nority report opposing the system. The expected modification would apply to taxation provisions, designed by the author to keep middlemen and brokers out of coal dealings. Chairman La Follette of the com- mittee served notice on the represen- tatives of the coal trade, whose op- position has been unanimous that no more testimony would be taken after Saturday. Night sessions will be held, however, to clear up by that time. WEALTH FOR WELFARE Mrs. Helen Hartley Jenkins Will Be Donor of Millions to Form Founda- tion in State. Hartford, Jan. 28.—A Dbill for a charter for the Hartlgy trust fund presented to the general assembly to- day discloses the fact that Mrs. Heélen Hartley Jenkins will be the doner of a large sum of money, probably in the millions, to form a foundation for general welfare work in Connec- ticut.

The incorporators of the trust are to be Samuel A. Brown of New York; Mrs. Jenkins and her daugh- ter, Grace Hagtley Jenkins of Nor- folk, Conn., Governor Everett J. Lake and Motor Vehicle Commis- sioner R. B. Stoeckel, the last named as Mrs. Jenkins' attorney having drawn the charter. The trust fund will be for benevo- lent purposes. Its maximum resources will not be reached for five years. So far a8 known no such trust fund has ever been created bdefore in this state. . POOR ROAD RETURNS Throughout Country Less Tham Six Per Cent Profits Are Being Made Today. WM.Mnnon. Jan. 28.—Local condi- tions and not rate divisions among carriers are accountable for the finan- clal condition of New England rail- roads, W. H. Willlams, chairman of the Wabash railroad, told the inter- state commerce commission today. He said roads could be found in all mections which were not making a 6 per cent return. The contention of New England lines that they should receive more on the division of joint tariff line freight rates was not sound as It would tend to re-group the carriers in the eastern territory, and place New England in a separate group, Mr. Willams sald. Congress had in- tended the six per cent return fig- ure, he added, to apply as a fair aver- age and not as a guide to the com- mission in giving additional revenues to any one road.

TRAGIG CHANGES IN DUKE PLANNING CAFETERIA PLAN AUSTRIAN CAPITAL| FOR NEW COLONY| MEETS WITH FAVOR Vienna, Once Gay City, Now Place ol Misery Vienna, Jan 26.:—One American business man who has just revisited this city was so surprised at the changes that had taken place in the Once gay Austrian capital that he de- clared that “‘the panorama of misery"” he witnessed here was_the greatest shock of his life. Henry Barna of St. Paul, Minn, |1ast visited Vienna ten years ago :when, as he said, there was ‘“‘great ;fun” here. Now he has returned and , Spent about two weeks, long enaough, | he says, to know what he is talking labout. “I never dreamed,” said Mr. Barna to an American Rled Cross representative here, ‘‘that Vienna would show such tragic effects of the war. 1 have been in nearly every capital of Europe since the armistice, i but nowhere have I seen such whole- sale misery. Everything is out of ! joint ' _Everything is uncertain. Food is scarce, and fuel still more difficult to obtain. I don't suppose anyone can be happy in a sea of misery like 1 e “Why,” he went on, “there isn't a smile, much less a laugh crowd,” referring to the people pass- ing the hotel in the Ringstrasse. “They seem so sad and dull-eyved, these Viennese, who were when 1 was here before. “Everybody seems to be carrying something. Those little bundles are scraps of food which they have been given by some more fortunate neigh- bor or relief agencies. There's a man in a fur coat carrying a hand- kerchief full of food. He wouldn't be seen doing that when I was here last. He would be too proud.” Mr. Barna told of a visit he had made a few days before to the Wienerwald, a great forest, an hour’s street car ride from the cen- ter of Vienna, where he saw a sight which he likened to a nightmare, The people were allowed to go there for wood and were emerging from the forest, their backs heavily laden with the packs of fuel. “There were hundreds of men, women and children,” he said, “their clothing soaked with the cold rain and they were filing along the roadside in an almost unbroken line, all headed for Vienna, stooped from the weight of 60 or 70 pounds of wet wood. Sixty pounds was their allowe- ance, but I was told that many slip- ped by the inspectors with more than that. “There were many sorts of people in that line which has been stretched along that road for more than a vear. ' I saw a woman of evident gentle birth, in a fur coat, probably the last vestige of her wealth, bent over under the weight of her pack, trudging . along beside a former officer in the Austrian army who still wore his great grey coat and cap. Then came children of the very poor with their little feet pro- truding from their worn shoes, It was very wet underfoot and at their every step one could hear the water oozing from their shoes.” in that S0 gay Eggs are lower, Russell Bros.—advt.

The distinguished Italian explorer plans to\ fight the dreadful form of malarial fever which decimates the people and the terri- ble tde-tse fly which attacks the cat- tle. He hopes also to increase the production of cotton and other prod- ucts of the colony. He will attempt to accomplish this by contfolling the course and the sur- plus waters of the Ubi Shaebeli river, the main water supply of the south- ern portion of Somaliland, known as the colony of Benadir. The Duke plans to spend the entire winter in an effort to make it healthy, pros- perous and a source of profit to Italy. An attempt will be made to direct the irrigation of the country adja- cent to the river by construction of reservoirs for the use of animals so as to save them from the tse-tse fly which attacks them when they are taken to the river to drink. Starting from Mogadiscio, the Duke will go by the Ubi Shebel river to Maaddei where his enterprise will be centered. He carried a large quan- tity of agricultural machines and hopes with their aid to develop cot- ton growing along the river, ns the English have done along the Niie. The government is aiding in the de- velopment of Benadir colony by im- proving the caravan roads which lead into Maaddel. BLOW AT LABOR? Bills to Disogntinue TLobbying North Caroline Legislature So In- terpreted. ‘Washington, Jan. 28.—Opposition of organized labor to anti-lobbying bills introduced by Senators Overman, democrat, North Carolina, and Ken- yon, republican, Iowa, was indicated today in the monthly report of the legislative committee of the American Federation ot Labor. The committee declared the bills *“most vicious” in character and that they “might be interpreted to the de- triment of labor.” Fresh eggs, 76c doz. —advt. Russell Bros. | agement, Mr. Desire to Save Time in Eating, Factor in Its" Success Chicago, Jan. 28.—The desire on the part of the average patron of the public eating house to save time and money in procuring his meals, is assigned by C. A. Westberg, manager of a chain of Chicago cafeterias, as the reason for the rise of the cafe- teria during recent years to a promi- nent place in public favor. “People also like to see what kind of food they are getting before they order it,”” he says, asserting that the advantage of inspecting the various dishes offered is a possible third fact- or in the growth of the “self service” plan. Mr. Westberg says that whereas five and six years ago people hesitated to_patronize a first-floor cafeteria for fear of being recognized by friends, and that establishment of such a place was then a precarious step on that account, now the ‘‘help yourself" idea is at the height of its popularity. In the five self service eating houses in "Chicago managed by Mr. West- berg, 15,000 meals are served daily, he estimates. He fixes the average amount of a check at 45 cents. Few persons attempt to evade pay- ment of their bills, and these are usually boys of from 17 to 20 years of age, and occasionally women. Such attempts often are successful during the busy periods. Other patrons, while willingly paying for their meals carry away with them souvenirs in the form of cafeteria equipment, such as spoons and napkins. A supply of one hundred dozen small German sil- ver butter plates put into service at one cafeteria a year ago has been depleted through onslaughts of ‘“‘sou- venir hunters” and now practically none remain in possession of the house. “The butter plates made very ac- ceptable ash travs, remarked Mr. Westberg in accounting for their dis- appearance. Napkins are often taken away by customers through oversight and many of them returned. The man- Westberg states, re- ceives in the mail every week napkins from various parts of the middle west, apparently taken away uninten- tionally by Chicago visitors. The manager sees hope for further declines in the cost of meals but de- clares such reductions must be pre- ceded by wage reductions. He says the cost of labor has increased more than 100 per cent. in the past four years. A decided preference for table lin- en rather than bare tables has been expressed by patrons, he says.
