Government Helpless.

While Marine Minister Thomson saws
he hopes the strikers will recognize the
logic of facts and come to their senses, -
the government seems to be almost help
less. The seamen's organization is max
ing clear that they have no cause for com
plant against the navigation companies
and that the fight is against the gov
eminent for an increase of the pensions
and men of the naval reserve to which
nearly all the striking officers. engineers.
seamen, longshoremen and even fisher
men belong. The justice of the claim of
the seamen that successive French gov
eFnments since Louis XIV have Dor
rowed" immense sums from the sesmen' s
fund, is recognized, but the culprits now
cannot be made to disgorge. and with
the means at the disposal of the treasury
the minister of marine says it is impos-
sible to increase the minimum pensions to
$3.50 and $3.50 for men and officers respec-
lively. as the seamens organization de-
Dlands. The government points out that
the railroad men must be provided for
and adds that the scale asked by the sea-
men is far in excess of the schedule for
old age xorkmens pensions which the
government has under consideration.
In order not to remain entirely passive.
some of the navigation companies took
action today against the strikers. For
NAL charges of desertion were made
against nearly 5000 officers, engineers,
seamen and others who have abandoned
their ships. and under the decree of 1867
are subject to heavy penalties.

The trial has consumed three weeks
in the district court here, and its con-
clusion today is merely the beginning
of a long legal battle. At the outset
of the proceedings the defense attempt

TOO MANY DEALERS. IT'S SAID.

Ono dealer claimed that in order to
pay interest on thu money invested

tho retail price should be from 1925
to $50 over tho price paid by tho
dealer for n gross ton. The dealer
also complain that too many persons
arc engaged in tho coal business in
Rutland to make tho business n pro-
fitable one. There arc more dealers
In Rutland than I'm burlington and
many much larger cities have even
fewer dealers than are in business in

feature in the local competition is that
while most of the dealers have sew
eral thousands Of dollars invested in
sheds, teams. ctc. Hulett G. stafford
have practically no money invested in
their coal business.
The fact that tho city sealer of
