DEALS ARE ON.
Citizens Caucus Probable
in North Brookfield.

North Brookfield, Feb. 27.-Just
when the political pot will boil over, is
not known, but there is surely a roar
ing fire beneath, and 4 may come at
any time.
Last Friday night the republican
town committee held a meeting and
took steps towards republican eau
Gus. On Saturday night the democratic
town committee met and organized
with F. NJ. Ashby as chairman and
B. J. Dewling as clerk. They immedi-
ately proceeded to discuss the situation
and it is understood that the chairman
Of the republican committee received
communication from the democrats
today, asking for a joint caucus as
in the past.
If the republicans refuse, it is eX-
pected that the democrats at their adj
Journed meeting tomorrow evening Will
call citizens caucus. Evidently the
democrats are preparing themselves
for the fray, is The Spy correspond
ent finds that the town hall is engaged

| to the people, with no desire to draw
party lines. They wish to take the con

| of a few politicians who every year

Trust Put Them in
His Way.
GEORGE W. ALLEN
Says New Wall Paper Com
pany Is Assured Fact.

The Allen Wall Paper company is
soon to be a reality in spite of the al
legged strenuous efforts of both machin-
cry and paper trusts to prevent the con-
Germ from getting the necessary equip
ment. Yesterday George w. Allen, the
manager of the company returned from
New York city, where he has been for
the past few weeks acquiring the nee
essary machinery and stock. He says
he has encountered all kinds of diff
cultes but has been successful in get
ting what he went after and this means
that within few days work will be
begun on the building, and that before
summer is over the plant will be in rum
ming order and give employment TO
many Worcester men.
Representatives of various trusts
have pursued Mr.. Allen wherever he
has gone, as he declares, and have
| tried by every conceivable means to
prevent him from purchasing the ma
chinery and supplies which are abso-
| lutely required before the plant can be
an assured fact. He says that paper
| machinery concerns were approached
| by representatives of the trusts and in
duced not to sell to Mr.. Aliens compa-
| ny, and in some cases liberal induc-
ments were given so that it was an OBJ
| Ject not to talk with Mr.. Allen. He
was not to be faxed by these set backs
| and he returned yesterday with signed
contracts for all the machinery requir-
ed for the new plant and feels safe for
| the future
He says it was the same case in the
purchase of sufficient paper with which
| to run the plant. The international Pa
per company which controls the sup
ply in part, put every obstacle in his
way so he states, and in several places
prevented his acquiring any paper
| whatever. One large wall paper con-
Germ was so opposed to the new COM
| pany that it made a contract with one
or Two paper concerns for their entire
| output for a series Of years, thus pre-
| venting the acquiring of a supply from
| that source. Mr.. Allen found it neces-
sary finally to go outside the trust en-
! tirely, and he was enabled TO make con
| tracts with a concern whose name is
not divulged, for sufficient paper stock
| to last for year at least. Also that
with machinery and paper the new
plant will soon be a reality.
! The entire stock. of the new company
is held by Mr.. Allen and two other gen
uemen, and within a few weeks work
Will be begun upon the factory, which
is to be 400 feet in length and 60 feet
wide, three stories high, and is to be
| located on land recently acquired by
| Chairman William Hart of the commit
tee on new industries Of the board of
trade. Just what plot Of ground will be
selected by the company has not as vet
been determined, but it is probable that
there will be a long frontage on the
railroad, so that the company will have
the very best of transportation facili-
ties, 1t is said that the ultimate Sc
| lection will lie to a large extent with
the railroads in the matter of side
| tracks.
