Officers Filed and Posted as Requir-
ed by Bylaws.
The price of ice was one Of the top
les of discussion at the regular month
Nv meeting of the board of trade dl-
rectors last evening. Letters received
from secretaries of commercial organ
izations in nearby towns and cities
brought out some interesting facts. In
Rutland the price of ice for house
hold use is SO cents a hundred, the
1918 crop in that city being 5000 tons
more than the previous year. In Bel
lows Falls the price is 30 cents, the
same as last year, the crop being re
ported the same in quantity and quail
. itv. Greenfield reported that the price
/ on the coupon book plan was 35 cents,
/ 10 cents being charged when pur-
chases are made at the carts. In
Northampton the price is 40 cents
and the crop reported at ABOUT two
thirds normal. Claremont, \. H., re-
ported the usual supply and the price
the same as in the past. Keene, ow-
ing to three companies, will pay but
20 cents the coming season, although
the secretary of the board OF trade of
that city stated that if it were not
would probably be at least 30 cents.
1t was voted to hold the annual
meeting of the board Tuesday evening,
April %, if Festival hall is available
on that date. Nominations for direc-
tors and other officers to serve the en-
? suing year were flied by the nominal
ing committee, F. r. Vaughan, c. F

TAKING FIRST STEP
IN FREIGHT TROUBLE
Baltimore Merchants Are Meet
ing Today to Map Out
Campaign.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Baltimore special com
rnittee on the freight rate war is
meeting today to map out plans for
the campaign. When this session is
over the committee will telephone
acting President Cans, Of the Retail
Merchants Association. Of this city, as
10 the time for a conference between
the Baltimore and Washington com
rnittees. This time probably will be
tomorrow.
Officials Of the local commercial as
eociatlonE declare that there will be
no hitch in the matter Of co-opeTa-
ton between the cities on the point
Of fighting the proposed elimination OF
free store door delivery OF freight.
They anticipate that the outline CT
the fight as made this afternoon in
the Baltimore meeting will be salts
factory and that there viii be an i'm
mediate agreement Tor presenting
united front when the expected hearing
IS given before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Local merchants are doing nothing To-
day until they hear from Baltimore.
They anticipate that the Baltimoreans
will have worked out their entire pro-
gram before tomorrow and that then
all the commercial organizations Of the
two clues Will be in a position TO com
bat the railroad decision 10 cut our
the free delivery.
The basis of the Baltimore conten-
ton will be an alleged violation of
the Interstate commerce act providing
that freight rates cannot be raised
after q railroad has killed water com
retitiOn. This is indicated by the
retition already filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission. alleging
that the Pennsylvania railroad in es-
tablishing a schedule Of rates-minus
the free deliyery-is violating the act.
The Baltimoreans have been busy at
gathering facts 10 back up this con
tention. Washington, too, stands ready
10 assist in this labor, and moreover,
its merchants will have figures 10
show the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that the elimination of the
delivery system means a loss Of fully
100000 A year by reason Of additional
transportati tion charges.

Senator Lewis to Seek
Official Fathers Day

Senator ]. Ham Lewis has taken
compassion on the fathers of the
country. He has a kind heart located
below and a little to the left of those

is entitled to some considerable from
the hands of Congress.
Senator Lewis purposes to intro
duce a bill to recognize July 29 as
Fathers Day. Already, there is
Mothers Day and Children's Day, and
why not do something for the other
member of the family.
Not only does Senator Lewis intend
to introduce a bill, but he is threaten
