years past, as the ducks would leave
the bay entirely about 8 A. M and not
return until after dark. Hunters say
1t is because they are not shot at be-
fore daylight or after dark. Ducks
rave been more plentiful this year
than in the past Is years. Blue-bills
5nd Mallards have been here in small
numbers from the LIST day-something
uncommon as the bluexbill usually
gets here along the 10th to 18th of
October. Mallards have been very
scarce and arrived about the last of
October or November When I came
home from Swan Island I saw on my
trip 10000 birds I would estimate.
When l came through the Big Sands
of Abigadasett they few up and COW
cred the entire bay. I have seen Just
such fiocks in the Sacramento Valley
and Grace Harbor oregon, but not

Violated Labor Law.
Section / of Chapter 16, Public Laws
Of 1919, provides that whenever a labor
employer advertises for employees in
Maine and in advertising seeks to en-
gage help to work in a plant where a
strike is on, the fact Of the strike shall
be stated in the advertisement. The
department Of labor has for several
months suspected that certain adver-
tisements appearing in the State an
ticipated the employment Of men to
work in plant where there was a
strike on, and the advertising did not
stare the fact Of the strike.
The advertising was for the attention
of paper workers and stated that nom
;;nion men were desired. In each case
no nanc was signed and the locality
in Which the men were wanted was not
printed. Men interested were advised
TO call at Il hotel. Commissioner Eddy
tr-cd several times to find out the
IDENTITY Ct the person who he believed
was violating the law, but without
success until last Friday. Paper work.
orS at MiliinoCket called him on that
day by telephone and advised him that
one H. Wardwell was an offender in
the matter of illegal advertising.
Deputy Henry Donnelly CHANGED to be
in Old Town ana Commissioner Eddy
communicated with him. Wardwell
Dopnelly Friday and Saturday morn
ing the Bangor municipal court fined
him nominal sum together with the
costs. Millinocket paper men furn-
i&hed the evidence.
