INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The Howe scale works which had
been closed by a strike of 500 en-
ployes for some five weeks announce
that II cities in New England and the
Middle states have offered induce
ments to move the works there.
The F. r. Patch Manufacturing
company and the Lincoln Iron Works
officials of Rutland both announce that
they are running at their full capacity
and getting out the usual amount OF
work with non-union men in spite OF
the strike declared a month ago which
took out nearly all the employees to
the number of over 500. The union
strikers are much incensed ct this.
and there is much talk of declaring a
boycott on the products of the CON-
pany.
The strike at the Howe Scale CON-
pany's works. Rutland, by which 42j
men were affected, was settled June
20. By the terms of the agreement the
men returned to work ON a nine-hour
basis at Z O'clock Monday morning
This strike was the largest and hardest
fought labor battle in the city Tor years.
From the day they went out, May IA.
the men have shown no sign ofwaver.
ing and have confidently maintained
that they would never return unless
granted the nine-hOur day.

the urgent need OF such regulation
was apparent to all. The legislature
has been dilatory in not giving us
such a law before, and IL will now
doubtless obey the mandate. The
credit for this part of the platform
goes to Clement, as the prime pusher
for it.
In fact, Clement got everything he
wanted at the convention except the
nomination. His followers should
have been entirely satisfied with the
substantial triumph of the principle
for which they contended. They could
not possibly command votes enough
to place Clement at the head OF the
ticket. Though they doubtless had
some reason to complain of the treat
ment accorded them in the convention,
they gave the provocation themselves,
and were not justified in leaving the
hall. To run Clement now as an in
dependent, in opposition to a platform
that his chief representative accepted
in the convention, would be absurd.
1t might even result in bad setback
to his beloved local option principle,
for men might become impatient with
a movement that showed no DISPOSE
ton to be satisfied with entire accept
ance by the party, but sought TO have
everything its own way, for personal
or frivolous reasons. There is no ex-
cuse or justification for an independ-
ent movement, and if Mr.. Clement
exercises his usual good judgment he
will not make il.
As one of Mr.. Proctor's supporters,
we regret that the nomination could
not have come to him, but such are
the fortunes OF politics. He made a
clean and creditable canvass, and for
it he deserves high regard. Mr..
Proctor is yet young man, and the
worthy ambition that this year is de-
MED him may come in the future.

Richardson farm south of Rutland, had
a narrow escape from death a few

house when the telephone bell rang
and she stepped to the instrument
As she did so a rifle ball crashed
through window and passing
through the exact place where Mrs,
Hewitt had been sitting, imbedded
itself in brick wall on the other side
of the room. Had Mrs. Hewitt not
been called TO the telephone she would
have undoubtedly been killed. Sew
eral people who have mad occasion to
drive over the roads in that region
have had narrow escapes from being
killed by the rifle balls, and cattle
have been found dead from this cause.
II is believed that the bullets are in
tended for a target on rifle range In
that vicinity.

Henry G. Thomas, who was recent
" appointed as state fish commissioner
BY Gov. Stiokney, is a native of Stowe
and came on both his fathers and
mothers sides of tried Revolutionary
stock. His paternal great-grand-
father, Andrew Thomas, was brother
OF David Thomas Of Boston Tea Party
fame, and went 10 stowe from Middle
boro. Mass, in 1916. His maternal
reat-grandfather was Joel Harris, the
first Methodist minister In stowe
AZ the outbreak OF the civil war Mr..
Thomas went TO the front as a drum
mer boy with the Third Vermont Reg
iment. Wherever the Third Vermont
was from that time up to the opera
tons before Petersburg there also was
young Thomas Besides acting as a
drummer he was regimental post
master during two years and upwards.
With his regiment he was in some
of the greatest battles OF the war, the
list including such significant engage
ments as Lees Mills. White Oak
swamp, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylyania
and Cold Harbor
For many years Mr.. Thomas has
been especially interested in fish cul-
ture and the iniative of the enterprise
now existent as the Lake Mansfield
trout preserve was his. As an ex-
pert In scientific fish culture Mr..
Thomas stands among the qualified
few, a fact that recently won recogni-
ton at the hands of Gov. Stickney
when the latter gave him the appoint

CONVENTION REFLECTIONS.

The Republican state convention of
1902 has gone into history-and it
will fill a good-sized page. For
interest and excitement it easily sur
passed all predecessors. Rivalries
for the offices are not unusual at
state conventions-often accompanied
by sharp contests and warm feeling.
But when a three-cornered fight for
the first place, with no sure winner
in sight, is complicated with strug-
gle over an important state issue,
whose different phases are represented
by these candidates, there is bound
to be friction enough to make the
sparks fly. And they did at Mont
pelier.
After the delegates had been elected
and counted, it was quite apparent
that the chances for obtaining the
nomination greatly favored McCul-
Tough. lie had a lead of more than
100 over Clement. who, in turn, led
Proctor by about 40. For McCul-
Tough to gain the necessary 40 votes
to win from one or both OF the other
candidates was likely to be an easier
task than for the latter to fuse on
either one OF their candidates, or on
some new man, or to hold their re-
spective strength long enough to cause
a break in the ranks OF the leader.
However, there was a delightful
element of uncertainty about it, and
the most confident Mccullough man
would have given considerable at the
opening of the convention to have
had this confidence in the result
transformed into absolute assurance.
The minor candidates showed no
signs of wavering, and it was a fair
guess that the contest would be a
long one The Clement supporters
expected that if the Proctor adherents
held out long enough their man would
gain sufficiently from Mccullough,
with possibly few votes from
Proctor, to win. They really enter
tanned much hope of the outcome.
Proctor's delegates, though intensely
loyal to him and DESTROYS Of being led
into the Convention, could see but
| feeble chance Of his nomination, or Of
more satisfactory result than the
nomination OF either Mccullough OF
Clement. The great majority OF then
did not endorse Clement or his prin.
/ ciples, and so. being under the seeming
necessity OF choosing between the
two. most of them went to McCul.
Tough. acting under the suggestion
of Mr. Partridge when. after the
second ballot had shown a loss OF
three votes from Proctor to Mccall
Tough, he w4ihdrew Mr.. PROCTOR
name. There was absolutely no pre-.
arrangement about this, and it came
with equal surprise to all. 1t was
the natural outcome. Though the
fierce, and in many instances. unfair.
