Bath the contracting parties. The
ring service was used While the
wedding was private the many young
friends of Mrs. Wright had prepara-
tions made to make it very interest
ing for the happy couple when they
got ready to board the afternoon
train. The best laid plans, however
sometimes go astray for as soon as
the ceremony was completed an au
tomobile whisked them out of town
before any one caught on to the game
and they took the train from Skow-
hegan instead of Norridgewock. The
bride is the daughter of Mrs. Mary
Bruce of Mercer avenue, and they
formerly lived in Bath. During their
residence here, however, they have
found many warm friends whose best
wishes are extended on this occa-
sion. Mr.. Wright is an expert limo
type operator and machinist and is
employed by one of the leading pa
pers of his home city They will be
at home to their friends after May
7 in Bath where they will reside.

SW|TCHMEN MAY
APPEAL TO GOVERNOR

International officers of the vari-
Gus unions of railroad men at
filiated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor threaten to appeal
to the governor of Minnesota for a
public investigation Of the switch
mems strike situation, if the gov
eminent warehouse commission
files a "whitewashed" report re-
garding existing conditions.
This is asserted in letter that
was received by the local switch
mems union from President Van
Lear of the Machinists' 1nterna-
tional union this morning. A Great
Northern man is declared to be on
the warehouse commission, which
is at the present time declared to
be preparing a report to the gov
eminent on present traffic cOndi-
lions, consequent to the strike OF
the switchmen.
The union switchmen are ex-
pecting this commission to submit
a report denying that freight traf-
fic is connected and that everything
is normal. Striking switchmen in
Spokane today declare that from
every indication the strike is now
practically in the hands of the rail
road department of the American
Federation of Labor.
