Carpenters on a Strike at Rutland.

The work of rebuilding the six large
business blocks, which were destroyed by
fire at Rutland Feb. IS, will be handi-
which was declared Sunday night. The
union demanded an increase in wages
from 1925 to $2.75 a day for a nine-hour
day. The union officials received notice
that the builders positively refused to
grant the demand and a strike Of the 102
union carpenters went into effect Monday.
The carpenters claim that the wages for
which they are now working are, with the
exception Of White River Junction, the
lowest paid in the state. The employers
offer an advance of rs cents a day TO
those whom they might care to designate
as worth it, but are apparently unwilling
to affix their signature to any agreement
providing for a specific increase In the
minimum rate.

The Caucus Registration LAW.

The listers find many voters VINO APP
parently do not understand the meaning
of the law, which requires voter to state
his intention regarding the political party
which he SHALL support, when he files his
tax list. Some men seem to believe that
their liberties are being infringed by
making an advance statement and others
object to the law on the ground that they
will be DISTINGUISHED The law reads
plainly as follows: 1.-THE secretary of
state shall on or before the first day of
March in each year in which a biennial
election is held furnish at the expense of
the state to the several town and city
clerks a sufficient number of blank certi-
ficates to accommodate all persons quail
fed to vote in freemens meeting. Such
certificate shall be in the following form
1T is my intention to act and vote with
the - party at the coming cleo
ton" This law has absolutely nothing
to do with the voting at the regular cleo
tons. 1t simply concerns participation
in the caucuses. The signed statements
given to the listers are turned over to the
town clerk so that check lists may be
prepared for use by the several parties
in the primaries. 1t is essential that all
voters fill out the blanks as required. A
situation might arise where a citizens
vote would be of more importance, to
himself at least, in a caucus than at the
regular election. In the coming Con-
gressional fight, for instance. a man who
has not signifed his intention to vote the
Republican ticket will be ineligible to
participate in a caucus in which delegates
are chosen to the Republican Con-
gressional district convention. Tax payers
who have not filled out the required
blank have an opportunity to do sc
previous to May 20. and If they wish tc
be eligible to act in a caucus they are
urged to call on the listers and sign the
statement required by law.

Davis struck Lynch's dog, whereupon
Lynch went out and picked up a club and
Davis drew a revolver from his pocket.
