woods. with only one weeks supply of
grain on hand. Now gentlemen, that
is only one ease that exists in Penob-
scot County. The lumber industries
in that part Of the State are at stake;
the paper industries in that part of
the state are ut stake. 1t has been
stated that the Brotherhood has offered
to arbitrate this measure; but it SENS
to me that we have another duty here.
The lives of the people of this State
ard people all over this country are at
stake. The 100 men, engineers ana
tiremen. who pass a rigid and strict
examination to go on to this road and
are liable to get fired any minute they
make a mistake-when those men all
walk out and their places are filled by
men who have never seen that road,
l tell you, gentlemen. there is some
thing else at stake beside potatoes and
grain; the lives of the people of this
State are at stake.
The gentleman from Caribou 6Mr.
IRVING has placed before this House
merely request. 1t should not be a
request, gentlemen: it should be de-
mand. if we have the power. TINS is

here under the laws of this State, dil-
ferent from an ordinary manutactur-
ing concern. The interests OF the
COMMITTEES of Aroostook. Penobscot anu
