House of Commons The great con-
stitutional struggle which began
when the House of Lords nearly two
years ago rejected the budget of
David Lloyd-George, chancellor OF the
exchequer, is ended, for time at

Great Britain's working constitution
since the passage of the reform bill.
The voting consumed nearly an
hour, and the result was in doubt un-
til the last moment. The die

than the prophets had anticipated,
and the government owes its victory
to the votes of between 20 and 80
conservatives who threw in their lot
with the liberals to save their own
caste from loss of prestige by great
increase in its numbers and the king
from the necessity of the exercise OF
the royal prerogative from which
every one believes he was most anx-
ious to be saved. The archbishops
of Canterbury and York and nine bis
hops also lined up with the govern
ment, although the ecclesiastical
lords generally keep aloof from party
questions. The bishops of Bangor
and Worcester went with the Halls

noticeable that the highest ranks OF
the nobility furnished the fewest
supporters of the government The

Somerset and Westminster voted
with the opposition while the re
mainder abstained from voting.

those days was In the Library build

days received lot of attention and

ARM CHEWED UP
IN PICKING ROOM
At BIG MILL
Frank Drake, Aged I23, Met
With Bad Accident
DISPLAYED GREAT VITALITY
Stated That he Had Thrown Belt OFF
Machine to Clean It Up and
Had Got Caught

While at work this morning In the
picking room at the Holden & Leon
ard mill, Frank Drake, aged 20, had
his right arm caught in picking ma
chine and it was cut off within four
inches of the shoulder, the member
being chewed into shreds by the
teeth of the machine. He ran from
the room which is in the basement
to the elevator and went up to the
first floor and running out upon the
lawn, fell down on the grass.
Fellow employees, following him.

until he had lost large amount He
was taken to the Soldiers Home hos
pital on the company's team, being
able to climb upon it with but slight
assistance. AT the hospital he was
also able to dismount from the wag-
on. Drs. Buchanan and Tobin were
summoned and they dressed the
wound temporarily The young man
was taken to the Albany City hospital
at 1890 in an automobile driven by
Clarence Holden and accompanied by
the physicians.
Young Drake came to Bennington
week ago from Hoosick Falls where
/ he had been working since November
last. His native town is unknown. He
stated to hospital attendants that he
had thrown the belt off the picker at
which he was working and began to
clean the machine up before 1t had
stopped, his arm being caught as a
result Drake had intended to quit
work Saturday night.
! The physicians were of the opinion
that Drake stands an excellent
chance OF recovery because of his
youth and because he has such won
derful vitality. Having been here
/ but a short time, he had made few
friends So far as known he has no
family. 1t is probable that further
amputation Will be necessary

taken from one of the cows which
was being driven over the country
with Gen. Burgoyne's army to fur
nish milk for the officers table.
The bell came into the possession
of Joel Stratton, one of the soldiers
attached to the Vermont troops on
the day following the battle. He
brought it to the village and II was
used to assist in the noise-making on

WOOL REVISION TO
PUT OUR PEOPLE
OUT OF WORK
Local Manufacturer Wrote to
Senator Dillingham;
ORDERS HAVE FALLEN OFF
Democrats and ProgressIves measure
is Causing General Unrest Of
New England Mill Men

The following letter enclosing a
portion OF a letter from Senator w.
p. Dillingham; was published in the
st. Adams Messenger in its issue OF
August 9.
To the Editor of The Messenger:
The farmers of New England have
more to fear from the passage of the
revision of the wooden schedule
House bill than they have from reci-
procity with Canada as much las that
of itself will affect them.
1t is the demand OF our cities and
large towns for food products, parti-
cularly butter and cheese, that the
Vermont farmer relies upon to con-
stitute his income; and il our manu-
facturers shut down their mills and
factories thereby throwing out OF en-
ployment thousands of employees the
demand for these food products is Of
course lessened.
As ! write | have before me a let
ter from Senator Dillingham; touching
upon this important matter which
enclose and trust you will deem ii Of
sufficient interest to many readers Of
The Messenger for insertion in its
columns, as our senior senator is in
close touch with it.
Yours truly,
W. IL. Jefiords.
East Berkshire, August Z.
81 cannot avoid the conviction,
however, that in the adoption of this
reciprocity measure by the Democra.
tic party and its passage through
both House and Senate by Democrat
| ic votes, 1t will be treated simply as
the beginning OF series Of measures
based upon Democratic principles,
which will result disastrously TO New
England Industries, and that every
class In our communities will be af-
fected thereby. The fear of this has
already robbed many Of our New
England manufacturers OF their usu-
al orders. ] have before me as
write, a letter from one of our Ben
nington manufacturers saying that
his orders have so fallen Off that he
fears he will be obliged to discharge
coo employees. Should the wooden
schedule be revised along the lines
suggested in the House bill, or in
the proposed amendments Of Senator
La Toilette, ] have no doubt IL will
close a majority OF the New England
mills producing wooden goods. And
this will be worse for our dairy men
than reciprocity. Our hope Of secur-
ing reasonable modification of the
wooden schedule lies in possible
failure of the Democrats, and the so
called Progressive Republicans to
unite upon either of the measures
above mentioned. fear We shall not
be successful because the proceedings
in the Senate. during the progress OF
the Payne.Aldrich bill indicated a
united purpose on the part OF the
Democrats and 'Progressives' to at
tack the New England manufacturers
whenever opportunity occurred. The
next two or three weeks will, think
determine the question for the imme
date present but, even though de
feated now, the fear of action next
winter will undoubtedly result in Q
'from-hand-tomouth' policy botl
among purchasers and producers.
Thanking you for writing me,
lam,
Most sincerely yours,
"W. Z. Dillingham;.
