RAILROADS GETTING POORER
Declared Central Vermont Official at the
Burlington Station Conference.

Burlington April IL The conference
arranged by the new union station com.
mittee with representatives OF the Cen,
tral Vermont and Rutland railroads re.
suited yesterday afternoon in the prom
ise of the railroad men to report with
in two weeks, if possible. compro-
mise plan for a new station in this
citv.
The Sinclair plan, with possible mod,
fications. was favorably considered by
Mayor Burke. who presided. He said
that the city is willing to make conces
sions. to further the early construction
Of a station, and suggested that if the
freight station should be placed east of
the tracks the crossings could be left
at their present grade, or near it.
The mayor thought the cost OF sta
tion could be cut from 100000 or 800,
900 down to sl2500O under modi-
fed plan. G. w. Waters. attorney for
the Central. asked what share the city
would be willing to pay. and the mayor
told him that inasmueh as the city
was giving the location. the railroads
would have to be lenient. Mr.. Writers
reminded him that the railroads in Ver-
mont are getting poorer, and the mayor
replied, That's just why we want to
meet you.'
II was the general opinion that il the
city and the railroad companies should
agree upon plan, the order of the pub
lie service commission, from which an
appeal is now pending before the su
preme court. would not be insisted upon
BY the state authorities. The railroads
made an expression of willingness to at
tempt solution of the station ques-
tion that would be satisfactory to the
various interests.

on which Mr.. Lawless occupied while
ON his way from work According to

STRIKE EXTENDING
THROUGH BELGIUM
But in Some Places Small Numbers of
Men Returned To Work--Men APP
pear To Be Settling Down
To a Long Fight.

Brussels, Belgium April 1.-THE
workers. strike for manhood suffrage
continued to extend slowly to-day in
every part of the country. Small num-
bers Of men returned to work in some
quarters, but these We're unimportant
as compared with the figures of fresh
recruits joining the movement The
men appear to be settling down to a
long test of endurance.
The Socialist organization has opened
dining halls and the strikers and their
families are generally employing their
time marching, in their gardens or on
an outing, while the strike managers
are organizing concerts, dramatic per-
formances, moving picture shows and
the like to keep the strikers out of mis-
chief
A few arrests have been made for
interfering with men who remained at
work, but an investigation of the
charges showed they were only standing
at the factory gates shouting hurrah
for the strike The photo -engravers of
Brussels have voted to join the strike
to morrow.
Brussels, April l7.-"At time when
$4,000 men are out on strike" was a
phrase which occurred in the premier's
speech before the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday afternoon. He was replying
to an attack on the government by Herr
Vandervelde, the Socialist leader, who
declared that 10000 men were now in
volved in the general strike in Belgium
for manhood suffrage.
The premier's remark seemed to be
made offhand. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the government is beginning
to realize that it underestimated the
possibilities of the movement, which
is steadily growing.
The central Industrial commission of
Brussels, non-political organization,
estimates that 2l7 900 workmen engaged
in five industries, COAL mining, metal, |
structural iron work, glass and textiles, !
have laid down their tools. Impartial
authorities place the total number of !
men on strike as 10000, and the news !
paper Ningtieme Steele, the organ OF the |
young clericals, gives an estimate OF |
POI .406.
When the chamber reconvened yester- |
day after recess, the galleries were
and 10000 strikers assembled |
outside the building, but took part in
no demonstrations.
The premier, in answer to the Socialist
and Liberal attacks, reiterated that the
government could not yield TO threats.
When liberal deputy proposed a ma
-ional referendum on constitutional re-
Tision. the premier said: when quiet is
restored the government will be at your
disposal to study out the question"

What is Fun !?

There was a lot of good sense as we'll
as promise of the kind of man and
farmer he will make, in the remark of
an Oregon boy. He had raised fine
lot of pigs for exhibition at the state
fair and in describing his manner of
feeding he said: 81 have not counted
the labor because it was fun and kept
me out of mischief.
Most of us are not as wise as that
boy in that re have such low stand
ard of fun as well as work. Keen zest
and enjoyment in the pursuit of any
thing ought to be called fun. Fun does
not depend upon the amount of labor it
costs, as witness the severe stress of
base ball and other athletics. 1t all de-
ponds in great measure upon the kind
of thinking a man does. Our state of
mind is very largely at our own dispos-
al There is lot of pleasure why
not call it fun in doing any kind of
work if we have the right kind of a
mind for it and purpose to do that
work well.

During the month Of September alone
New York's toll of deaths by this
