JUDGES IN oUANDARY.
Await Gov. Fletcher's Action Before
Opening December Term of Court.

MONTPELIER, Nov. 14.-As Gov.
Fletcher has made no appointments of
superior judges TO succeed those whose
terms expire December ! there is con
siderable speculation throughout the
state as TO what course will be pur-
sued in the matter of holding Deem
Der terms of county courts and, it is
asserted, that Judge W. w Miles of
Barton, chief of the superior judges,
will issue shortly letters to the other
judges advising them to open Deem
Der terms at the usual time and to
, take immediate adjournment.
While the terms of the judges ex-
pire those of the assistant judges do
not and, if necessary, they can open
and adjourn court and carry on court
/ business.
Under ordinary circumstances the
judges meet during the month of No.
! vember and consider assignments for
(, the coming year, but the constitutional
change in time of election has caused
the entire course to. be changed. If
| during the month of December, the
governor sees fit to name new judges
| it is the opinion of members of the ban
that they could Immediately open court
and transact the business from thai
date.
The following courts have Decembel
terms opening on the first day of thu
month"; Addison. Bennington, Cal

Trouble With Packing House Employees
At Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids, June D.. AS the re-
suit Of a controversy between the men
IN the hog killing department at the
Sinclair & Co., packing plant and the
company officials about sixty men In
that department have walked out dur
ing the past few days. AS = Result only
about 1900 hogs are being killed daily,
instead Of 1000. which is the average
daily run at this season OF the year.
The dissatisfaction among the men
arose over the working hours on days
when there was hitch" or some kind
which delayed work. The gangs In the
killing department are made up of SUI
flcient men to kill certain number OF
hogs In a certain number of hours,
and they are paid for the number of
hours necessary to kill the days allot-
ment Of porkers. The officials state
that If the work Is completed half
hour ahead of time the men are paio
for the full number If hours. and II
they are required to stay more than
fifteen minutes after quitting time they
are paid overtime.
The men, on the other hand. claim
that when they are required to stay
several minutes overtime several days
in week the total time amounts
to considerable. Finally three men
were discharged because of the agita-
ton, and the following day about twen-
ty more walked out. The men have
been going out in groups for several
days, until at present about sixty are
out. Their places have been partially
filled with men from other depart
ments. and the work Is going on as us
ual. altho the capacity has been con-
siderably reduced. The men who are
out are holding meetings daily and 1t is
announced that they Will form a branch
Of the international Packing House
Employees Union.
