tesy shown in deciding upon Augusta
as your meeting place. Maine is a
great and growing State and destined,
to my mind, to make great progress
in industrial development in the near
future. When we think Of Maine we
do not always stop to consider that
our State is as yet but little develop
ed. We do not remember always, that
Of our total area Of 100000 acres
nearly three-quarters. or more than
100000 acres is yet classified as
forest land and is comparative will
derness where Industrial development
has as yet but just begun.
Out Of this forest area each year
comes 1000, 100000 feet Of timber, an
immense amount valued at the mills
at about $12.000,000, and the manufac-
tured product has a value, probably,
Of s20,000.000. To the State Of Maine
each year come thousands Of people
for their annual vacation. They come
to huAt and fish and to rest. The in
land fish annd game iterests alone
bring to the State revenue each year
of about $20,000.000. Our seacoast
brings in several millions more. Our
climate, our hills, our 1000 inland
lakes and thousands Of streams at
tract the tourists to our State.
But to me our immense WATERFOWL
ers guarantee a future development
that will be rapid and stable. These
powers valued today at $4,000. 900
will form the basis for the future de-
velopment Of Maine: they are the
foundation for industrial expansion
~ Ia HAa ty,~-
that a state can have.
We have all these natural advant-
ages and it is up to us Of the pres
ent generation to conserve them The
State has recently started to build
good roads and II any State in the
Union needs good roads. and they all
do, 1t is this State Of Maine. We can
not grow without good roads and
these must be built at once for the
work has already been altogether too
long delayed.
We hope Mr.. Chairman and gentle
men. that this convention will be a
successful one and that the great
cause Of organized labor which means
so much to our people will be benefit
ted and strengthened.
Our local organizations are strong
and wholesome and are working for
the betterment Of the community May
your meetings be successful, may your
stay In our city be q pleasant one and
may you depart with kindly feelings
for Augusta and our citizens.

federation Henry NJ Donnelly Of
Biddeford, now located in Augusta as
deputy factory inspector in the De-
partment of Labor, called attention to
the fact that the first annual conven-
ton Of the federation was held In
Augusta, in 1903 and that at that
time there was very little law on the
statute books to protect the toiiing
masses in the State. The federation,
he declared, has been very successful
in exeHting it's influence to help In
obtaining new legislation and pointed
out. as the most important pieces OF
legislation completed since that
time, the 54-hour law. the direct pri-
mary, the initiative and referendum,
the trustee exemption law. the law
making it a crime to advertise for Ia
Dor without indicating. II such be
the case, that q strike Is on. work.
mems compensation. and tho general
law governing the functions Of the
Department Of Labor. He said, too,
that the federation has been instru-
mental in preventing the enactment
Of legislation that would be detri-
mental to the interests Of labor.
Secretary Donnelly recommended
that the per capita tax and afalia-
ton fee from AFFILIATED unions be in
creased SO that the federation may
employ a permanent salaried secre-
tary who may also act as legislative
committee. He declared that the 81
hour law is an excellent one and
urged that all possible steps be taken
to defeat the attempt Of its enemies
to stall it through the agency Of the
referendum. He reported eight new
affiliated unions. Mr.. Donnelly also
read in detail the report Of Treasurer
Fitzgerald.

STATEMENT BY GODDARD TEAM
Says Birth Certificates Show Witt
Connor and Quinn to Be 10.

The Goddard track team furnishes
the Barre Times with the statement to
the effect that certificates OF the births
of Witt, Conner and Quinn, who
among others, were protested by
Brattleboro high, Montpelier high
Vermont academy and Rutland high
because it was alleged they were over
age and Ineligible to compete III the re-
cent interscholastic meet at Burling-
ton, have been received and are to the
effect that each of them is only 10
years of age The Times article fol
lows:
Trackmen at Goddard seminary be
ieve they have disproved effectively
the claims made by other interscholas-
tic teams in the state that members of
the winning seminary combination that
cantered away with the state cham
pionship at the meet in Burlington May
% were over p years of age. Proof
positive, according to those who gov
ern the destinies of sport on the hill
top, is at hand in the shape of birth
certificates setting forth the age of
each Goddard traekman protested. Al
some pains the athletic authorities al
the school communicated with the
clerks in the towns where the three
protested men were born and obtained
data that sets at rest any disclaimer
made by defeated teams in the inter
scholastic meet.
In q statement made to the Times
today, the Goddard track team gave
ont the following information:
''In o former communication from
the Goddard track team it was an
nounced that the men designated by
Brattleboro as members of our team
had written for their birth certificates
These boys, who the other school;
claimed were over age, are Witt, Con
nor and Quinn. Copies of the brit
certificates have been received ane
each one of the three is 10 years old
Disappointment over defeat has
made many schools in the past make
charges against the age of Goddard
players. We hope the time viii come
when schools will place their athletic
on a basis Of true craftsmanship ano
take defeat in a manly way.

FREE EXHIBITION
OF ERRATIC WORK
In Seven Innings Vermont Academy
Defeated Brattleboro High 18 to
12-Features Were Few.

As a free exhibition of batting and
fumbling and erratic work generally,
the baseball game on the fairgrounds
saturday afternoon attended by four
high school students, two teachers and
score Of others, was one that, if a per-
son was not inclined to take matters
too seriously provided lot of fun. In
mere figures il was 10j minutes long
two innings short of a regular contest.
and was won by Vermont academy by
a score Of Is to -. The game did not
start until % minutes after 3, and a
suspension Of hostilities was necessary
at >. in order that the visitors might
have opportunity to make their train.
A part of another inning might have
been played in the 25 minutes wasted
before the start of the game. The two
dozen camp chairs provided as a grand
stand We're ample to accommodate the
" crowd
Capt. Merrill Haskell of the h1gh
school team, who has had n strained
tendon in his off arm, is now enjoying
q boil on his neck. This left the pitch
ing duties up to Shea and KANE.
Shea labored for six innings, in
which he allowed nine runs and 13 hits.
and left the job in the seventh with the
bags densely populated and nobody
out. 1t was net a pleasing situation
FOR Kaiue when he came in from short
where he played a fine fielding game.
Before he finished his task nine more
runs had crossed the plate.
There were features besides the gen
Cral unreliableness of the ground which
turned easy chances into singles and
doubles, and the general tendency of
everyone, once he got mold of the bali
was to hurl it somewhere regardless Of
the proximity of anyone of his side to
the spot chosen as the place for the ball
TO land.
As has been stated, there were fea-
lures. Grout, seemingly with no inten-
tion of making a record, singled five
times in succession, two cf them be-
ing in the last inning. Brattleboro
drove a pitcher off the slab, a home
run by Hamilton following a double by
Sammy Plumb that had cleared the
crowded sacks of runners. This spell
ed the retirement of Lambert, who
Welded / hits during his stay Of only
two and one-third innings on the
mound. Eaton gave only one more run
in that inning, holding Brattleboro safe
after that.
Still another feature that not many
have seen is the score book, which re.
sembles a lecture on woman s suffrage
written in Chinese. The score:
