Armour Says He is Trying to
Discredit Packers.
AND is ACTUATED BYSPITE
No Sane Man, Declares the Millionaire
Packer, Can Believe the Horrible
Stories That Are
g1lSla Printed. I9

New York, June Ogden Armour
says that President Roosevelt has a
personal spite against the packers and
will do all in his power to discredit
them. According to Paris despatch
60 The World, Mr.. Armour says; THE
President has done infinite damage" In
an interview Mr.. Armour is quoted as
saying: II say that no sane man, no.
body with The slightest knowledge Of
the packing trade as 1t il conducted in
Chicago, can believe the horrible stories
in the newspapers. Surely no intelli-
gent person can even imagine that men
like myself, who have their entire for
tunes invested in the packing business,
are fools. They cannot suppose that
we are deliberately trying to wreck our
own business, to throw away everything
we possess by poisoning Of products.
Any man who will think calmly and
intelIigently about the situation for five
minutes can sec how absurd all this
clamor ia.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the whole of these so-called revelations
has been directly engineered by Presi.
dent Roosevelt. He has strong personal
animus against tn packers. IIe is now
doing and he win do anything in his
power to discredit them in their husi-
ness. The reason is too obvious to re-
quire explaining to anybody who knows
anything about American politics or
American public life

WILL NOT ARBITRATE.
East Longmeadow, Mass, Quarrymen
Still Demand 23ha Cents.

Springfield, Mass. June 9.--The strik-
ing East Longmeadow giarrymen have
voted unanimously not to arbitrate but
to insist on their demand for 23is cents
an hour. II. r. Mccarthy Of Barre. sec
retary Of the quarrymen's international
union. who with w. II. Grady, ]. II.
Mahoney and John ]. Walsh Of the
Springfield central labor union, confer
red with the strikers, reported that
the employers were desirous Of a con-
ference, but the men refused To con
slider the proposition In speaking Of
the strike, Mr. Mccarthy said. "The
men have been receiving 2215 cents an
hour and thought they ought to get %
cents. A few weeks ago we had a
conference with the employing contrac
tors, who refused the demand on the
ground that they couldn't afford to grant
il. We offered to split the difference
and finally reduced our demand TO an
increase of only one cent an hour, which
meant an increase in weeks wages Of
only a4 cents. That seemed 10 US about
all the concession or arbitration needed,
hut we are ready at any time To con
fer with the employers. The interna-
tional union hats voted to sustain the
men. and have secured work for so
OF them II they want IL. There is a
demand from Gouyerne,m, y. y, for
skilled quarrymen. There are only some
3s out Of the original So quarTymen
now left at Longmeadow, and most Of
these, think. win go TO Gouycrpenr.
return to Barre tomorrow morning,
but the president of the international
union, G. J. Allen Of Barre, win he here
within a few days.'

A DEFENSE OF ASSESSORS.
Their Work Of the Year Mapped Out
and Dificulties Shown.

Editor Barre Daily Times--Sir: Per-
haps few words Of explanation from
the assessors office would be interesting
as we'll as enlightening to the taxpayers
of the city, in view Of the fact that
the honorable city council, the mayor
casting the deciding vote, has just re-
fused To pay bill for actual service
rendered, presented by Assessors Page
people who selected these gentlemen and
who pay the bills just how the extra
time charged the city was put in.
1t must be borne in mind that when
the assessors complete the grand list
they are required to swear to the truth
and correctness Of the same. II il neces-
saiy, therefore. that they should make
certain that every one Of the 3,400 OF
3,5Dt, inventories Is correct and proper
~ filed out. There can be no guess
work about it. a mere glance at fig
lires is not all that is necessary. 1T
is very true that other boards have
had obstacles To surpass, but it Is beyond
doubt that the work this year presented
d great many more than were experience
ed before. Much time had to be sacri-
feed in explaining the new caucus check
list law.
In order to get the necessary help
from keepers Of boarding houses and
lodgings fines have had To be imposed.
When the time came for the filing Of
the abstract it was found that hundreds
who were taxed for polls last year had
not given in an inventory this year. The
employers lists showed something like
200 men Of taxable age working in this
city on the first of April, whose names
could not be found in any list or book.
Besides there were the usual difficulties
with the foreign names. Many tax
PAYERS showed marked carelessness in
filing out their inventories. Some
showed deliberate negligence and many
lists, including some fair-sized ones,
have been doubled as the law directs.
The general run of the inventories was
decidedly bad--oyer one-third of the to-
tai number had to be revised and cor
rected Bank deposits, debts owing and
stock in trade items especially were
very loosely sworn to. Let me cite
one case. A certain alderman put in
an inventory containing an error, the
ferreting out Of which netted the city
in taxes sum greater than the bills
for extra time OF both Mr.. Page and
Riley amounted to. Strange to say,
that member did not see fit to grant
the extra pay.
Now all this work has to be done in
side limited time, and it is beyond
question that at the rate OF an eight
OF nine hour day ii could NOT be done.
If, then, these assessors have had TO
work ten or eleven hours day in order
to do their duty, why should they not
be paid for iti The Office is an inn
portant one. Tho city is the gamer If
the work is done with such zeal and per-
sistency, as | am sure every fair minded
person will say these men have shown.
! am sure the taxpayers off, this city
do not wish 70 put men in the Office
Of assessor who will work by the clock
and who viii, AZ ONE worthy expressed
il, gang hame when the whnssle bIaws."

Americans, beat A. F. AyiIding. New

Ward and Little's win from the Aus

the series, two to one, and but one
more win in the remaining games will
assure the team the advance to the
challenge round, where il will meet
Great Britain for the cup.
The win was as decisive as IL i en-.
couraging, and the fact that Ward and
Little, who have never paired before,
could handle the two good men from
Australasia and not lose set raises
the hopes Of the teams followers con
siderably.

Charles D. Watson Of st, Adams Writes
Mayor Burke of Burlington.

ST. Albans, juno 9.--Chafies D. Wat
son of this city has written the fol-
lowing letter to Mayor ]. II. Burke Of
burlington;
Your letter of this date relating To
the plot to nominate Clement in orr
state convention is received. 1t amused
me and in a sense it panied me. For
! supposed my sentiments on the sub
jeet Of Democracy were well known to
Democrats Of this locality at least, and
especially to you. You know, mayor,
that We are all inclined to think our
sentiments are well known and that
we are quite important factors in the
worlds progress, whereas, 1he truth,
neither amounts to much. So ] will
harbor no grievance and will try to tell
you how / stand.
OF one thing you may rest assured.
| am u Democrat. | do not recall hav-
ing ever chased after false political gods.
shall not do so this year, although not
TO do SO will be equivalent in the minds
of Clement sympathizers to being in
favor III Proctor. Shades Of Jefferson!
Just think Of it,! For d Democrat to
refuse to support repudiated Republi-
can and to insist on d straight Demo
cratic ticket is to brand ones self a
Proctor man.
suppose that the next grist from
the Clement mill will be charge to
the effect that all who favor a straight
Democratic ticket carry Proctor money
IN their pockets. Well, let them say
it. / shall oppose Clement just as
shall oppose Proctor or any other Repub.
lican The nominees of our party must
be Democratsnot the bruised, defeat
ed, repudiated flag bearers Of busted
hope. II my own party will not give
me a Democrat to vote for, | win bow
my head in sorrow, knowing that she
is afflicted with temporary alteration
and will soon recover, as she always
does.
u hope in the next months time to
see any false impression as to Glenn
ent's feasibility as candidate on our
ticket wiped out | hope Democrats
will not strike their political mother
Democracy, between the eyes, and, when
she lies swooning under the brutal blow
let in the glory seeking wolf from the
wilds Of her old-time enemy to sniff
and rend her helpless body"
