BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Injunction Sought Against Lumber Com
many.

The logs of the Connecticut Valley
Lumber companY's drive are arriving i'm
the boom two miles above here and log
men are today arranging the lower
booms preparatory to beginning TO sluice
them over the dam. None have yet
passed here. About 40 logmen are here
now. Those owning motor boats and
having cottages up the river early re-
ouested the superintendent of the drive
so to arrange their booms that passage
could be had up and down the river and
were met with refusal This has caused
much feeling and an application was
made to New Hampshire judge at Con-
cord Tuesday for temporary injunction
restraining the company from closing
the river and asking that the injunction
be made permanent. 1t is an important
question of mutual rights of navigation
and the local parties express the sentl
ment that the time has come when the
question should be definitely settled
whether this, or any other, company has
a right to string booms entirely across, a
navigabe stream and so pack their logs
in it as to completely stop passage to all
boats for several weeks. 1t is the in
tention to push this matter to a decision
at whatever cost this year. Two years
ago a similar application was made to
the courts and the injunction was grant
ed but the lumber company agreed to
keep the river open and did so that year,
but new managers come down In charge
ach year and as II is some bother to
keep II open the new men refuse, thus
| making expense locally each year to get
1t opened 1t is proposed this year to
settle the question for all time.

AUTOMOBILES HURT
 THE BOOK BUSINESS
Riding Taking the Place of Reading,
 Says an Agent.

The automobile is unouestionably responsible for much trouble in the world-when it is handled by the careless and irresponsible-but it gets blamed for some things which it must be doing innoeently. At first thought the idea that the automobile is in terfering with the reading habit might be considered ridiculous, but certain book agent, who has given years to the business, recently told "Courant' reporter that the auto mobile was hurting his business
 The books he sells are kind to ap pear to people who have the means to indulge in the horseless carriaga, but, he says, they don't buy books as freely as they did in the days before the advent of the auto He told of an experience he had had with a well known Hartford business man, who Is a lover of good literature, and who has beeen good buyer of books. He had been a customer of the agent, but when an attempt was made, a short time ago, to sell to him again, the business declined to buy, saying that he didn't want any more books now, as, when evening came, he didn't do as he had done in other days, when he spent evenings in reading, but he got out into the open in his automobile. This would seem to in- dicate that the saying that 'he who runs may read'' hardly applies to the man who makes the run in an auto mobile.

[. ). Donahue Not
 To Run In State
 Labor Federation?
Jasper McLevy and Timo- thy Flanagan, Both of Bridgeport, Out for the Presidency.
Especial from United Press.)


 New Haven, Aug. 22-Touring the State in an automobile on his annual vacation, President Charles Donahue of the Connecticut Federation of La Dor, could not be reached today to talk on the report that he would not be a candidate for reelection at the Derby State convention, Sept. Il.
 A story came from Hartford to the effect that two Bridgeporters, Jasper McLevy and John J. O'Neill, would make the race for the presidency against Donahue. McI.evy will have the support of the Socialists.
 Jasper McLevy of this city, when shown the above dispatch, declared that it is true that he will seek the nomination for president.
 John J. O'Neill could not be located but friends declared that he will not run.
 '@The reason why I'm out for this position,'' declared MT. McLevy, "ls that I think it is high time that the workingmen who compose the rank and file of the organization should de- rive some benefit from it. This can only be accorrlished by causing the reactionaries and obstructionists to step down and out, and placing active and progressive men in the leader ship.''
