NO ONE LABOR UNION
Will Ever Control Paper Mills at
Rumford, Says Mr.. Chisholm.

Rumford. Me, Oct. 4.-Hugh J. CHS
holm Of New York, prominent in the af-
faifs Of the International Paper Co., adj
dressed gathering Of local business men
saturday afternoon, discussing the situa-
tlon brought about by the long-ccntinued
strike Of paEermakers.
VI Chisholm declared that the Inter l.
t!onal Paper Cos. mills will never be
opened to be controlled by any single la
Dor union. "A workman will be free to
belong to any union or to no union" said
MI Chisholm. and every man who wants
10 50 back to work will be protected. not
only at his work but at his home and on
the street"
Mr. Chisholm said that when hard times
came the company first reduced its elivi-
bends and later reduced the paw of en-
ployes. He asserted that he had only the
kindest feelings for organized labor. and
that in his opinion a small minority of ia
Mates were in this case controlling the
large majority of honest well-neanine
operatives.
Mr.. Chisholm said that the Eumford
mil was the only one against which the
strikers had made any attack. and he
asked for the appointment of the police
to protect it,
shortly after the meeting adjourned the
assessors swore in several special officers.

'Rumania will be included in the

probably Turkey will not acquiesce and
a Turko- bulgarian war is therefore
likely.
The only thing to interfere with this

third regular quarterly meeting of the
Piscataquis County Historical Society
was held at the court house in Dover
in the law library last week. The re-
cording secretary, Francis c. Peaks.
read the records of the last meeting.
Lc!a B. Hayes OF FoXcroft was elected
a resident member.
The first paper on the program was
read by Edgar c. Smith. 'Sketcher of
three Revolutionary soldiers who were
carly settlers of Dover. The paper con-
tanned a brief account of the lives Of
Thomas Towne. Zachariah Longley
and Allen Dwelley. Mr.. Towne was the
ancestor of nearly all the TONNES of
Piscataquis county and settled in Do
Yer in 1902. He came from Temple, n.
H. He was a sturdy character Of the
pioneer days and left the impress of
his life on the community in which he
lived. Mr.. Longley came to Dover from
Norrldgewcck in 1908 and settled on
the northeast corner lot of the town.
1t was from this family that the first
death in the town occurred. Luke, the
son. was drowned in the mill pond
while towing a raft of logs from his
home place to the Foxcroft saw mill.
His death occurred in the fall of 1907,
while the house was being built. and
before the family had moved here. Mr.
Dwelley moved here from Paris, Me,
in 1908. He took up the neighboring lot
to Mr.. I.ongley the farm of Volney A
Gray being part of the premises. Mr.
Dwclley lived here until about 1925
when he moved to Springfield. lie died
in the town of Lee between 1910 and
1850.
The paper read by Mr.. Smith forms a
part of a series of sketches which he
is preparing of all the Revolutionary
soldiers who settled in the county of
Piscataquis. and will undoubtedly be
published in the first volume of the
societys collections.
