TRUSTS INSIST
upon A BATTLE
NO HOPE NOW OF PEACEFUL DIS.
SOLUTION OF HARVESTER COM
PANY.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The hope
at dlssolving the $140,OOO,OO0 lntcrna'
tionaI Harvester Company without a
fight in the courts has been practical
Iy abandoned. A suit against the cor.
poration under the Sherman antt-ttast
law, probably will be filed at Chicago
about the mlddie}of Snext week.
There remains the bare possibility,
however, tNat an agreement may be
reached but those familiar with the
problem have lost expectations that
the government and the corporation
will bridge the difference as to a
plan as to dlsintegration.
After a protracted conference to-
day Attorney Wickersham, Assistant
Attorney General Fowler, and counsel
for the Harvester Company, who have
conducted negotiations extending
over several months. declined to com.
mer on the situation.
Edgar A. Bancroft and John T.
Wilson, representing the corporation,
will return to Chicago 'or turther COLI
ference with officials there
President Taft was apprised OF rae
situation at conference with Wick
ersham, Fowler and Bancroft, 1t is
understood that he agreed that the
plans for dIsintegration SO far submit
ted could not be accepted by the gov
ernment.
The crux Of the whole difficulty, 1t
is believed. lies in the contention OF
the harvester company that the Nc.
CornlIck and Deering companies
witch are subsidiaries, should not be
separated in any scheme OF reoEgant'
cation. The government wishes these
Integral parts made distinct.

Facing the Facts.

II is indeed an awakening address
that j. y. Barss. superintendent OF the
state industrial school at Yergennes is
making throughout the state. He speaks
with conviction and nobody can listen
to him without being impressed. not
only with his earnestness but with his
truthfulness as we'll He tells about
conditions in the back towns of the state
that are revolving and dangerous. That
they are not common to Vermont is no
excuse and no reason that Mr.. Barss'
warning should not be taken in all Sc
robustness.
Owing to Vermonts slow growth IN
population, the showing is much more
to her disadvantage than it is in other
states. Crime has increased in all parts
of the United States. Ii has increa sed
more in proportion to population in Yer
mont than it has elsewhere in other
states because the increase in population
here has been on a very small scale.
But Mr.. Barss points out very efrec-
lively that our vigor is being depleted
because we are sending so many of our
best young people out of the state ami
getting nothing from outside to take
their place and at the same time chill
lrer of deficient parents are being born
much more rapidly than children from
normally intelligent parents The in.
evitable result. ii continued must be
absolute dry rot, It is time that the
people of the state woke up to the exact
conditions that exist aud Superintendent
Bsrss is doing deserving work in try-
ing to help on the awakening.
If all the men Of the state could be
gathered into one big audience and SUI
perintendent Rarss could talk to them
face to face. he would undoubtedly start
movement that would be startling IN
its development In the meantime he is
doing the best he can under existing
conditions. lie is telling his story wher-
ever he can get a hearing and the seed
that he is sowing win certainly spread.
He thinks tho state should do certain
distinct things and he tells plainly what
they Burlington Clipper.
