GERMANY AFTER PLANTS?
Report Says She Aims to Close Beth

Report Says She Aims to Close Beth
ehem and Remington.
Chicago, June 7-Negotiations are
in progress by the German Govern
ment through German bankers for
the purchase of the control of the
Bethlehem Steel Company of South
Bethlehem, Penn, and the Remington
Arms Company of Hartford, Conn,
according to information received by
The Chicago Herald. These negotla-
tions are declared to be on the eve OF
success. IL the Germans succeed in
obtaining control of the firms men
toned, the plan, according to the re-
ports, is to shut down the works and
thus prevent them from continuing
the manufacture of arms and ammunl
tion and other war material contract
ed for by the Allies.
The only recourse of the Allies
would be to the courts. Undoubtedly
the courts would compel the compan-
AOS " pa. udLldSt9f Dul btiilltilg y
could afford to pay them if she OBJ
tanned victory in the war She would
merely add the damages to the bill OF
indemnity
1t is recognized in banking and
business circles here that the matter
is of the highest Importance to the
Allies and to Germany as we'll Ac-
cording to this theory deprive the
Allies of the output of the Bethlehem
Steel Company and the Remington
Arms Company and they would be
unable to carry on the war successful
" The conflict is dependent upon
supplies. Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary can turn out all they can POS
sibly require. Any lack OF munitions
on the part of the Allies would give
their enemies decisive advantage.

40 MEN OUT OF WORK
Because of Fire at Payne Brush Plant
PLANT to Be Rebuilt.

About 40 men are thrown out of
work by the fire Monday at the A. S.
Payne Brush Manufacturing Co,
plant The fire however, did not de-
stroy the completed stock of brushes
which Mr.. Payne had on hand so that
he will be able to make shipments to
his customers without delay
His plant at North Bennington,
where about the same number Of
men are employed. is running full
time and Mr.. Payne believes that the
fire will not cripple the business in
any serious degree.
1t is probable that the plant on
South Branch street will be rebuilt
at once. Mr. Payne rented the build
ing of j. Dukas and last night he
talked on the phone with Mr.. Dukas
who was at Baltimore. Mr.. Dukas
said that he would be in Bennington
Monday and ii is expected that the
part of the building burned will be
rebuilt, The loss on the building is
probably somewhere around $1,000
and was insured.
Mr. Payne, who owned the business
and machinery, finds the machinery
and materials in process pretty well
destroyed. His loss is unoiiicially es-
timated at $4,000 and was insured
Because of the nature of the bust
ness Mr.. Payne and his men always
made it point to keep shayings and
waste cleaned up every day and this
made it possible for the fire depart.
ment to control the fire more quickly
than is often done in a woodworking
plant.
The work of the Bennington fire
department deserves credit. Mr..
Payne states that the department
work was just as good as could be
asked.

Law and the Queen.

Tho quaintncss of many. provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status of the queen of England.
SO far as her majcsty's private bus.-
ness is concerned, she is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as n married woman mt all. She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope of the mar
ried woman's property act. The idea
in all this is that affairs of state con-
sumo all the time of the king, and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts in
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them, rs any other hus-
band in the United Kingdom would,

Industrial Accident Board.

In appointing Sanford A. Daniels of
Brattleboro a55 Fred S. Pease OF Bur
lington members cf the industrial
accident board, the Messenger sur
misses that Governor Gates has exer-
cised a. most commendable indepen-
dent judgment and has refused to per
nit himself to be swayed by a pres
sure which has been much more in
sistent than the general public rea-
Lies The governor has not been in
any haste about selecting the two
men who will be the fellows of Rob-
ert W. Smonds of st. Johnsbury.
who is chairman ON the board, but
his delay has not been due to scar
city of applications, according to
trustworthy reports that come to the
Messenger
If Governor Gates has considered
long. it seems that he has considered
we'll and his appointments merit a
cordial reception, Without doubt the
governor has felt a great responsible
ity in the making Of his selections,
for the board which puts the law into
operation will have great bearing
on its failure Or success and 1t was
highly necessary that he select those
men who would bring to their duties
a road-mindedness which is abso-
lutely essential. This he has done, in
the estimation of this paper.
The Messenger is extremely pleas
ed. and it is confident that its pleas
ure will be shared by the great ma
jority of Vermonters that the COVER
nor resisted the no uncertain pres
sure that was brought to bear upon
him to make his appointments with
regard to the industrial division be-
tween employer and employee There
is no doubt that earnest attempts
were made to cause the governor to
appoint representative of organized
labor to the board-not merely lab
oring man: to satisfy this element it
would be essential that he be also a
union man-and had this been done
consistency would have dictated that
he appoint a representative of the EN-
ployer class, also.
Thus Vermont. through its COVER
nor, would have recognized classes
among its people, which would have
been source of much regret The
Messenger has previously contended
that to follow such a course would
have been equivalent to the creating
OF one man board, as the employer
and union man. being human and
coming to their task. with partisan
predictions, would, as a rule, have
voted against one another and left
the decision to the lawyer chairman.
This will not be the case, as neither
Mr. Daniels nor Mr. Pease is con-
nected with industrial activities on
one side or the other.
The governors course means that
all partisans will have full representa-
tion before the board but not on it..
and surely there can be no valid OBJ
lection to such an arrangement. 1t is
most probable, were the governor
himself to explain the method by
which he made his choice, he would
say that he did as one would attempt
to do in drawing jury, to secure
men of open minds, who had no other
interest than to see that justice to all
parties were done. AS this is a de-
sire with which it would be foolish to
take exception it seems certain that,
outside Of few disappointed circles,
the governors appointments will be
heartily commended by the people of
Nermont-S Adams Messenger.

COUNTY COURT
Probable that Business for the Jury
Will Be Completed Today

" ~ ~ NO''HiSh~N way
1t is probable that business for the
jury at the present term of county
court at Manchester will be complet-
ed today. 1t was understood that the
case of the state VS., Wheeler of Dor
set, larceny, would be finished today
and that there would then be further
jury cases.
The case of State VS.. William Pike
of Woodford, against whom the grand
jury returned an Indictment for break
ing and entering will probably be con
tinued.
1t is understood that the court CON

who while an inmate of the town
almshouse struck a young woman
with knife some weeks ago and
who has since been in the county Jail
here, to Waterbury for observation.
The court will be in session for the
remainder of this week and portion
of next week for the hearing of court
and divorce cases.

County Game Warden Edward S.
Higgins went to Sandgate yesterday
on a scouting trip for short trout fish
ermen and as a result of his trip Ell
mer E. Kent and Erwin MofIit were
arraigned before Justice M. T. Hurd
charged with catching short trout.
The fishermen pleaded guilty to five
offenses and were fined S25 each and
costs, the cases being postponed to
the 22d to enable the men to liqui-
date the fines.
The fish were caught in the head
waters of Green river When the two
poachers drove into barn upon their
return from the stream the warden
stepped into view and took their
baskets out from under the wagon
seat.
The warden read the men lecture
on the catching of little trout He
asked the men why they did not fish
in the Battenkill where they had
chance to catch legal-sized trout
Yes, | know that" replied one of
the men, but ye can't ketoh EN- so
fast"
But you're breaking the law, add
ed the warden.
Yes, but | didn't expect you'd be
round up here
"Well, you're liable to see me most
anywhere these days and you'll be
safer if you put the short ones back
in the stream"
