An official of the Vermont Marble
company denies the statement made
Friday, Aug. 10, by John V. McCul-
Tough. international secretary of the
Marble Workers union. to the effect
that the boycott which the union plac-
ed upon the product of the Rutland
county marble companies had tied up
jobs in various parts of the country.
He says that there is not a job any
where in the country upon which
work has stopped because of the strike
in that vicinity; that smaller firms all
through the United States buy their
rough marble from the Vermont Mar
BILE company and that the only effect
of the boycott, If continued Indefinite
ly, would be to compel the stopping of
finishing. which would make little diff
ference in profits. He said the COM
pany felt the strike hardly any and
would soon have as many men at work
as ever.

that a family named Lewis, living in
Hancock, had been making a practice
of killing deer out of season and salt
ing the meat. Saturday, Aug. 10,
enough evidence was secured to au-
thorize the issuing of a search war
rant, The premises were searched
and part of a deer carcass was found
in the orchard. As a result, the sons
of Mrs. Lewis, Dwight Lewis and
James Lewis were arrested but while
in custody the mother appeared and
declared that she was the guilty per-
son. No evidence could be found d.
