SOCIAL BARRIERS MELTING
By the Associated Press
Tendon, Oct. 1. Social Hues, which
in the 'past have been rigidly held in
England, have broken demn, for the
time being nt least, as a result of the
railroad strike which this morning en
tered on its fifth day. A duke was seen
driving a motor lorry through the streets
yesterday while during the day an earl
was in the chauffeur's seat in the
motor beading a convoy of fish from
Billingsgate.
The sixth Earl of Fortarllngton was
among those whose names arc found
in the Social Register who were en
gaged in unloading perishable goods,
milk and churns from a train while
at Paddlngton station, Carl and Lady
Drogheda were among the workers.
Frederick Henry Smith, son and heir
of the first Baron of Colwyn, was the
fireman on the Liverpool -London ex
press when it rolled into this city
today.
Club Members Volunteer
The call for volunteers brought out
members of the Cavalry Club, tho
Guards' Club, the Air Force Club, col
onels, majors, barristers and civil en
gineers. Men from these walks of life
are now standing at the fire door in
big electrical powerhouses.
Organization of food and transport
service by the government has been
proved most effective and the resump
tion of wartime rationing has worked
smoothly. The food ministry announces
thero is a general reserve of flour suffi
cient for two or three weeks and there
is a plentiful supply of bacon and
margarine.
Further regulations, issued to bring
about greater economy on the part of the
people, authorize the food controller to
add two pence to the price of meat fixed
early in the week and forbid the manu
facture and sale of fancy pastries.
The government has made an earnest
appeal to the people to observe the ut
most economy in coal and petrol and
to avoid the use of automobiles for pleas
ure riding. If this appeal does not
bring a general response, the use of
private cars will be prohibited and petrol
Mill be sold only on license.
Horse Racing Is Suspended
Horse racing has been suspended in
England and Ireland because of the
strike. A four-day meeting opened at
1 Newmarket jesterday, but the news-
papers pointed out the waste, especially
of petrol, that would ensue, and the
stewards were urged by the government
to abandon the rest of the meeting. This
request was complied with immediately.
It is announced that, for the pur-
' pose of saving coal and Insure the mov
ing of foodstuffs, service over Irish
railways will be reduced by one-half.
While the majority of London morn-
. ing newspapers contiu to urge the ne
cessity of the public supporting the gov
ernment in fighting the strike to a
finish and emphasize the cheerfulness
with which the country is bearing the
present inconvenience, the Daily News
lepcats its urgent appeal that the gov
ernment seek a "bridge to span the
tragically widening gulf." It says the
country's equanimity can hardly survive
an adverse decision relative to a strike
by the Transport Workers' Federation
today.
While delegates of the transport fed
eration were assembling today to de-
cide whether the 325,000 workers they
lepresentcd should go out in sjmpafhy
with the striking railroad men of Great
-Britain, a government official report, is
sued at noon, announced n continued
improvement in actual conditions.
The train service had been bettered,
the communique asserted, more than
800 trains having been run yesterday,
including tboso in the subway service.
Additional railroad men returned to
work, 11 van dcclarel.
Would Replace Bus Men
"Arrangements have been made to
replace the bus men intl4 tho tramway
men should they strike," tho statement
announced. It was added that the
movement of food was proceeding re
markably well.
The meeting of tho transport men
marked the most critical moment so
far in the labor situation brought about
by the railroad tlo-up. The meoting
was attended by representatives of the
Amalgamated Engineers' Federation,
the shipbuilding and engineering trades,
tho printing trades, the electrical
trades, the railway clerks, the new
postal federation and the national fed
eration of general workers. Most of
the labor memberB of the House of
Commons also were present.
It wob expected that the transport
workers would demand a general strike
by all trades, but J. II. Thomas, tho
rallwaymen's leader, on entering the
meeting, said he was still using nil his
influence to confine the dispute to the
original participants, the government
and the railway men.
Shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon
the meeting adjourned until 0 o'clock.
James O'Grady, n labor leader and
member of Parliament for East Leeds,
said on entering the meeting: "Some
thing very important will happen. I
hope this conference wilt succeed in
effecting a settlement."

STUFF BALLOT-BOX;
TIGER WINS ANYHOW
Glasgow, Oct. 1. (By A. P.)
Robert Smillle, leader of British min
ers and one of the sponsors for the
movement demanding direct action in
the recent labor congress here, predict
ed this morning that CO per cent of the
manual workers of the country would
be idle within a week. He declared
he expected tho mines, steel works,
shipyards and all fnctoris to shut down.
Dublin, Oct. 1. (By A. P.) Irish
railway men are still awaiting instruc
tions from the natlonnl union. There
is a great congestion of goods here,
ships having curtailed their service be
tween Ireland and England. A number
of firms threaten to close at the end of,

Sunday trains are to ho canceled.
French Senate, by Mere 37, Up
holds Premier's Request to
Withhold Rider From Treaty
Prls, Oct. 1. (By A. P.)-Op-ponents
of Premier Clemcncenu were
jubilant for a few moments In the ses
sion of the Chamber of Deputies last
evening, when an unofficial count on
the vote of confidence he had asked
showed 801 votes against tho govern
ment and only 202 in its favor.
The checking up, however, revealed
that there had been a stuffing of the
ballot-box, the official count showing
the adverse vote really to have been
only 188, so that the government's ma
jority, although relatively slight,
seemed satisfactory to the ministry
bench.
The chief argument of Deputy Le
fevrc, in presenting his resolution, was
that be wni not proposing nn amend
ment to the peace treaty, but that It
was a motion that was proposed in the
American Senato and which was voted
by the British Parliament. His reso

Why Your Closet Leaks
Ten to one that rubber ball, down under
the water in your closet-tank, is not on the
job. A PARABAL will put an end to the
wasto and annoyance. The 'tank ball con
trols the flow of water from the tank, and if
this tank ball is of poor quality its life is
short. The closet leaks continually.
Install a PARABAL and eliminate this
cause of most closet leakage. PARABAL is
made of the finest quality; Para rubber and
the correct chemical additions to give it long
life and prevent swelling. Plumbers know
that it is the best tank ball made. It is in
sured for two years of perfect service. Costs
but $1.00. Ask your plumber or write us for
booklet.
