Dear Sir:
The ultimatum to the Contractors,
from Carpenters Union No. 1894, re-
ceived thru you as their Secretary,
has been duly considered by us, the
undersigned. and we herewith hand
you our decision.
We consider this an unjust demand
because the amount OF business In

Therefore, on April First, Nineteen
hundred twelve, we shall terminate
our agreement with your Union, and
thereafter conduct our AFFAIRS as
seems best for the good Of the great
est number.
Your agreement made with the Con-
tractors on March Q, 1911, has not
been kept by q number Of your mem
bers, and most OF your members were
cognlzant of this fact, but took no
steps toward correcting any OF these
violations; therefore we herewith
hand you a copy OF this mutual
answer to your notice.
The foregoing will be printed In the
Bennington Evening Banner for two
weeks, in order that the Public may
understand our position as against
this unreasonable demand, and what
we purpose to do.

Nation owes Debt of Gratitude.

Money Indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
in the great Civil War There was a
still greater debt, an everlasting obi
CATION that could never be paid in
full. But in years that have followed,
the Republican party has inauguratcd
and developed pension laws under
which oyer three and a half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans, or to the survivors of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag. This pension system.
product of the policy of the Repub-
lican party, has no precedent in his
tory and no equal i'm justice and gen.
erpsity among the nations of the
earth.-Hon. James s. Sherman.

Made cubans Sit Up.

When President Taft told Cuban
revolutionists that he had an army
of occupation ready to sail, they con.
cluded to be good. The next time an
American army lands III Cuba, perm
anent barracks will be constructed
and the stars and stripes will perman.

And James Bryce tells us in
American Commonwealth that:

A bold president who knew himself
to be supported by majority i'm the
country, might be tempted to override
the law. and deprive the minority OF
the protection which the law affords IL.
He might be a tyrant, not against tho
masses. but with the masses.
Such, undoubtedly, is the third term
ism which the nation has need to fear
today.

their commissioner thought that he
could take me in, I'm half inclined to
give him a taste Of my jug. when he
arrives with his Millionaire client"
The fact was. as subsequent investi-
cation fully developed and as I ha We
already limited. that Payton knew the
commissioners plan through the medi-
um of his spies. whom he had every
where in wireless communication. So.
instead Of being trapped, he had him

AE R. GRAYMAN and the COM

I'M cause their train was a qua
ter Of an hour late In leaving
Albany. Mr.. Grayman's faith in his
police ally had been growing, and he
now looked upon him as an able de-
tective and a man of resources. His
only anxiety was lest Payton, feeling
sure that he had told the police. would
stay away. The commissioner had
succeeded in driving from the billion
aires mind the fear Of injury to his
daughter In cas- Payton suspected
treachery.
They always make such threats"
he said. "but they never execute them.
because why-it wouldn't pay. They
know their chances for a ransom would
be gone then. You may try to trap
a kidnaper as often as you like. but he
will never resent 1t until every posi-
BILE card has been played. Payton has
got a hundred cards up his sleeve"
