Brit ish officialdom moved today in fear of a second Guy Fawkes plot to blow" up the houses of parliament. While government offices functioned as usual, the work was transacted be hind a screen of guards and only in the presence of persons who had proven their identity and their loyalty to the government. In the R?ues of parliament many plain clothes men circulated with the crowds. They were expert marksmen, ready for action. These sentries occu pied every point of vanage In all gov ernment buildings, but particularly the houses of parliament They were ordered to shoot to kill If any emerg ency a roue. Members, of parliament known to lean toward the Sinn Fein were warned by outsiders to remain away from the building.- This was taken by many to mean, that a Guy Fawkes plot was hatching. Its instigators desiring to save their friends. The warning was' disregarded by all the Sinn Fein sympathizers. They took part in the sessions as usual, and with out a sign of nervousness. The Liverpool fires and the threat of Incendiarism .In Ixndon was reflected today in a greet rush for fire Insurance. Lloyds reported an unprecedented de mand for policies. Although no fires of consequence oc curred last night, the guard here was strengthened and additional squads went on duty In Liverpool, Southamp ton and other ports," For some reason It was believed plotters were especially anxious to cripple British shipping. A strong guard was organized in Glasgow, also. - An incendiary bomb In the warehouse district here last night caused trifling damage.

Un employment has increased steadily In the mid-west during the last month, while the volume of busi ness has declined, the Seventh Fed eral Reserve bank of Chicago re ported today in a survey of condi tions in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri 'and portions of Kansas and Nebraska. While men are more plentiful than jobs, the report stated that the amount of idleness is no greater at the present time than at this period during the win ter of 1914. Ten per cent of the men employed in the steel , plants have been thrown Into idleness, the report found. "The labor scarcity in the ateel dis tricts of a few months ago has van ished," the report said, "and men are at the gates seeking employment every morning." SO FEB CENT UNEMPLOYED Those engaged in building lines esti mate that 50 per cent of the men are out of work- "Workmen who were attracted to the -industrial centers In . the allocation of labor are now returning to their former homes.' the report stated; "but o far the return flow has not relieved the sltr uation on farms, where wages approx imating wartime figures are being paid corn-huskers." "Speaking generally, the statement said, "wages have not been changed ma terially. Here and there concessions have been made in order that total un employment may be avoided." Te - report emphasised that the let down in business activity in the mid West appeared to be less than is being experienced in the East. UNCERTAINTY APPARENT Discussing business conditions in the Seventh district's territory, the Burvey declared "Uncertainty almost completely dominates business calculations. Dis tinctly uneven declines In individual prices are factors in retarding business activities." The recession in prices which has "al ready manifested itself in foodstuffs and textiles, is reported extending to other commodities heretofore unaffected," the survey found, "but there are Industries which have experienced little, if any, re adjustments." Other findings were: Few people are buying automobiles; and, with the exception of some of the larger manufacturers, automobile plants are either closed or operating on such a small scale that their production is less than 20 per cent normal. MAST ORDERS CANCELED In nearly every section stores are at tempting to liquidate their stock through special sales, and the buying is from "hand to mouth." Cancellation of orders has been large in all lines of merchandise. . Manufacturers report liquidation of debts is "very slow." Mail order house business shows con siderable decrease. 1 Farmers are withholding their grains from the market, due to the readjust ment of market values.
