The Shoe Factory.

In connection with affairs at the shoe
factory it is but fair that Manager
Stocker should be given the benefit of his
statement, to the effect that his resigna-
tion was written as long ago as March
8; that he was asked to allow his salary
to be reduced and was not willing so to
do; that he had talked the matter over
with some of the directors and they
knew how he felt about it; that he sup
posed he had Alright to sell his stock if he
wanted to, and did arrange for its sale;
and that his action at last was not a
surprise to the directors because they had
had some indication of what he was
likely to do; and that he had no inten-
ton of doing any thing to iniure the COM
pany in the least. Everybody concerned
will hope that the factory can be kept
running and be put upon paying basis.
The fact that there was such multitude
of stockholders at the outset made man.
agement somewhat more difficult than
as though the financial interests were
more concentrated, and it is to be much
regretted that there has been any trouble
over the matter.

Service on the Lake Road.

The railroad commissioners rendered
on Saturday their opinion after giving
two hearings in the matter of the petition
of G. H. Noyes and others against the
Boston & Maine Railroad, alleging in
sufficient train service and unreliable
connections at Swanton, Cambridge
Junction and St. Johnsbury. The GALE
DOMAIN has given full reports of the two
hearings at Morrisville and the decision
is based on the ground that the Boston
& Maine and ST. ]. & L. c. railroad are
two independent corporations. Here is
the decision of the board:
"The petition in this case is against the
Boston & Maine railroad. Counsel for
the petitionee seasonably objected to any
order being made by the board against
the Boston & Maine railroad upon this
petition, because the Boston & Maine
railroad did not. at the time said petition
was preferred, and does not now own,
| operate or control the st. Johnsbury &
Lake Champlain railroad company or
any railroad with connections at Cam
bridge Junction or Swanton, at which
points, it is alleged in the petition, trav-
elers find it impossible to rely upon maxi
ing connections.
"Counsel for the petitioner contended
that the Boston & Maine railroad does
operate and control the St. Johnsbury
& Lake Champain railroad and insisted
upon offering testimony upon this point
as well as upon the merits of the petition.
The board heard all the testimony offered
by the petitioner and also by the Pc
titionee.
1T appeared from the evidence that the
St. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain rail-
road is, and has been for several years
past, operated by its stockholders
through its directors, and that the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad is not a stock
holder and is not otherwise interested in
the ownership, operation or control of
said st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain
railroad, and upon all the evidence pro-
duced at the hearing the board so finds
the fact to be.
evidence tending to show consider
able measure OF Inconvenience to the
travelling public, resulting from the pres
ent meagre train service, was admitted
upon the offer of the petitioner, but the
board is of the opinion that the merits
of the case cannot be reached upon the
petition in its present form. Whatever
discomfort, delay and inconvenience is
suffered by patrons of the St. Johusbury
& Lake Champlain railroad company,
petition against the Boston & Maine
railroad cannot avail to diminish. Under
this petition the board is powerless to
make an order against either corpora
tion and the petition is therefore dis.
missed without prejudice"
