Trainmen Opposed toHolding
Conference with the
President
MEETING WITH
PEACE ENJOYS
Was Held Yesterday in New York, But
Little Progress Was Made-Strike
of 100000 Men on 81 Railroads Like
ly to Go into Effect.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Order of
Railroad Conductors and the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, through
their chiefs, threw down the gauntlet
yesterday to the federal government
when they refused to meet President
Wilson and committee next Monday
and confer over the proposed amend
ments to the Erdman act
Following q secret meeting held at
the Broadway Central Hotel, President
A. b. Garretson of the Conductors
Union and President W. c.. Lee of the
trainmen, declared that they would
take no official cognizance of the con
ference and would proceed with their
original program and strike unless the
railroads granted the increase demand
ed by the 100000 men employed on 81
railroads in the East.
The conference was arranged by
Seth Low, president of the national
federation, who sought the aid of Pres
ident Wilson. While he acted for his
association he did not seek an audi
encc with the President at Washington
until he determined that a conference
would be acceptable to the railroad
officials, their employees and Secretary
of Labor Wilson.
In fact the idea originated with the
secretary of labor. Mr.. Low pointed
out to President Wilson that the stu
attn was exceedingly grave, and the
President immediately arranged for the
meeting.

MRS. POWERS HAS
SUBSTANTIAL OFFER
Humane Society Agent Wanted in Mid
dle-Western City at Annual Sal
ary of $2,5O0-Wiu Not Accept.

Recognition of the excellent work
done by Mrs. Jennie B. Powers of
keene, n. H., formerly of Brattleboro,
as the agent of the Keene Humane So
clety has come to Mrs. lowers in the
form of an offer from a large city in
the middle West to pay her salary
OF $4,000 year to take the position
of agent in that city. Mrs. Powers has
declined the offer, however, and for
the coming year at least will remain
with the keene society.
Mrs. Powers has been the agent of
the keeene society 10 years, rendering
especially efficient service, and recent
iy her friends in the Keene society
made her a gift of several hundred
dollars and gave her leave of alb
sence IN order that she might have a
vacation.
Women possessing the ability and
htness that Mrs. Powers has for this
particular line of work are rare and
her qualifications are certain to at
tract attention from larger fields of
work.

TARIFF BILL
IS NOW READY
Principal Provisions of the
House Measure Are
Retained
THE FREE LIST
IGREATLY EXTENDED
And Many Rates Have Been Reduced
i'll the Schedules-Sweeping Changes
Made in Administrative Features of
the Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, July II. - The Sen
ate may now proceed to dispose of the
original business for which President
Wilson called the extra session of Con-
gress, the revision of the tariff, three
months and four days ago. After the
special session began Chairman Sim
mons of the finance committee was au-
thorized to report the Underwood bill.
The measure was passed upon in com
mittee by a strict party vote. As it
goes to the Senate the bill retains the
principal provisions of the House meas
ure and those particularly advocated
by the president, including free raw
wool and provision that sugar shall
be free May /, 1916. The finance com
mittee majority and the Democratic
caucus of the Senate have greatly ex-
tended the free list and reduced many
rates, notably in metal, wool and ag
ricultural schedules. Cattle and wheat
are now on the free list, the latter with
la countervailing duty. Sweeping
changes have been made in the adj
mipstrative features of the income tax

from Stroke of PARALYSIS.

BRANDON, July 1.-The condition
OF Former Gov. i. J. Ormsbee, who
several days ago suffered a stroke of
paralysis, was unchanged last night.

not been feeling well for several weeks
and that he did not feel equal to TAX
ing the trip to Gettysburg with his
former Civil war comrades. The
cause assigned for the attack with
which Gov. Ormsbee was stricken is
overwork in connection with the Doug

the committee of arrangements. Gov.
Ormsbee is 40 wears old
Though he was stricken several DAYS
ago no intimation was given to the
newspapers until today.

Question Will Be Considered
in Special Village Meet
ing at 8 Tonight
NUISANCE OUGHT
TO BE ABATED
Results Of Investigations viii Be An
nounced-In Other Communities Part
of Cost Is Assessed Against Adult
ting Landowners.

The subject of laying the dust in
the village will come up at special
meeting in Festival hall at o clock
tonight, and it is hoped that salts
factory plan may be decided upon. The
matter was summarily disposed of at
the last meeting, but since then large
amount of study and investigation has
been devoted to it and some important
facts and information have been gath
cred, showing that the expense is much
less than had been figured.
OF main importance is article 2, to
see if the village will vote to instruct
the commissioners or the street COM
missioner to arrange for the laying of
the dust on certain streets and high
ways and assess such portion of the
cost as may be voted against abutting
Landowners.
Investigations show that in other
places where dust is laid by water or
oil on petition the cost is from two
to three cents running foot on resi-
Dental streets and all the way up to
21 cents a running foot on business
streets. The latter figure is extreme,
however, and the conditions here are
such that the expense would be much
less. In Montpelier the total cost is
about $1,000.
Another fact that has been brought
out is that on an average the mnuici-
| palities pay one-third of the cost and
the other two-thirds is assessed against
| abutting landowners, the oil or water
being used only on such streets as Pc
tition for it.
If this plan were adopted in Brattle-
boro probably not over third Of
the streets would petition to have the
/ dust laid and the amount to be paid
out of the general fund would be com
paratively small.
| No doubt those who have looked in
to the subject will be on hand to give
the voters the result of their investiga-
tions, and possibly some resolutions
covering the question will be introdue-
ed
| In any event, the dust nuisance
ought to be abated in some way, as it
is not only detrimental to business and
comfort, but also positive menace 20
the public health
Brattleboro ought to get in line with
other progressive communities in this
matter, and the voters ought to turn
out tonight and formulate some plan
of action.

Confer

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Secretary
Wilson Of the department of labor yes
terday conferred with representatives
of the union shopmen and maintenance
of way employees of Western railroads

VAIL TO BE REORGANIZER.
Mentioned as Probability for New
Haven i'll Washington Despatch.

WASHINGTON, July 1l.-Theodore
\. Vail, president of the American
Telephone 4 Telegraph company, bids
fair to be the arbitrator in the forth
coming reorganization of the New
Y ork, New Haven & Hartford railroad,
which is expected as a natural conse-
quenee of the disclosure of conditions
in the New Haven system made by the
interstate commerce commission. Mr.
Vail probably would disclaim any such
position; nevertheless he will partici
pate in the Forthcoming inquiry under
circumstances which will constitute
him a natural board of appeal. Mr.
Vail has been member of the New
Haven directorate only about a year
Some ten days ago when George Won
l.. Meyer, chairman of the New Ha-
ven stockholders committee, went to
New York to consult with the execu-
tive committee of the New Haven di-
rectors to try to reach an agreement
regarding future procedure, the addi-
tion of Mr.. Vail to the general com
mlttee of investigation. composed of
the executive committee and the
stockholders committee, was one of
the results of the conference. Mr.
Walls relations with the firm of J. 2.
Morgan & Co., which has been influ-
entail in New Haven affairs, has been
very close, while he is ON terms of
equal intimacy and friendship with the
Boston interests which are back of the
Meyer committee. He is recognized on
every side as man of pre-eminent
business ability and, in the present sit
uation, peculiarly well qualified to
stand as neutral representing all in
terests which may be involved III any
possible plan of reorganization.

INVENTOR OF X-RAY TUBE DIES.
Burton Z. Baker, Victim of Constant
Exposures to Rays.

HARTFORD, Conn, July 1l.-Bur-

tube, died at his home here yesterday
following an illness dating from last
September, since which time no less
than nine operations were made by
scientists in Philadelphia, New York
and Hartford in a vain effort to save
his life. He was virtually victim of
constant exposure to the X-rays and
despite warnings of his danger four
years ago he had kept to his work.
