Blue CLOTHING FOE HUNTERS.

Bangor, Me- Nov q Special. Shooting accidents
have been so numerous in the Maine woods this
season that there is talk Of further legislation to
punish the careless gunners and also to prevent, so
far as possible, human beings from being mistaken
for deer. 1t is suggested by DR.. Ford, of Milo, who
has had much experience in the woods, that all
hunters or others going into the game regions be
compelled TO wear blue clothing. blue being color
easily recognized and that bears no resem-
blance TO the coat Of any animal in the woods
Many hunters make the serious mistake of wearing
bright red sweaters. under the impression that the
vivid color can be long distance. The fact
is that the red bright color, blends with the
foliage in autumn and. softened by distance and
haze, much resembles the coat of the deer. Dr.
Ford intends to circulate petition asking for the
passage by the next legislature OF law making IL
compulsory for all persons going into the game re-
gions to wear blue clothing.

conference was called for this afternoon by
President Mitchell at Scranton. 1t attend
ed by all the district presidents the chief officers

discussed plans for gathering what evidence
they still need ID present before the commits
sion and for furthering their case when the
commission meets next week. What the plans
are or who the next witness will be they will
not say. The operators expect that President
Nichols of the First District will go on the
stand and they have prepared for him a severe
cross-examfnation relative to the question OF
wages and conditions of violence in his district
during the strike.
The mine workers have discovered that 1t will
be impossible for them to compile satisfactory
wage tables to submit to the commission. and
they are reduced to taking the tables compiled
bv the operators and trying 10 verify them by

due bills or not. The operators are working
night and day to finish the others. II the mine
workers agree to any they will be submitted TO
a commission as the mutual exhibit of each side
if they do not agree, they will try to make what
showing they can with the due bills at their
command.

Mr. Mitchell. when asked regarding certain
conditions relative to the hearings before the

arrival was late. and he hurried TO the recep-
ton.
Mr. barrow answered a few questions as TO
whether the mine workers would accept the
wage tables prepared by the operators or get up
IA hles OF their own. He said he could not at
this time give a definite answer. He would not
tell who would be the next witness before the
commission That would be giving our case

in a general way equalization OF wages
rather than a horizontal increase. OF the &C
