Hortonia Co. and Gaysville
Electric Light & Pow
er Company
COMPLETE PLANS
FOR CONSOLIDATION
1t Is Proposed to Spend 9
Large Sum in Modern
izing the Plants

| Bethel, Aug. 9.--Arrangements have
just been completed for the consollda'
tion of some of the largest electrical
companies in Vermont. The combna'
ltion will include the Hortonia Power Co.
whose headquarters are in Rutland, and
the Gaysville Electrical Light Power
Co.. whose headquarters are at Bethel
Over S500,000 win be expended in mod
ernizing the plants already owned and
in developing water privileges already
secured.
| A line will be run from the present
plant of the Hortonia company at Bran
don over Rochester mountain to Gays
vile, 2S miles distant. AT Gaysville,
connection will be made with the water
power plant of the Gaysville Electric
Light & Power company. A few years
ago the GaysvilIe Eltric Light & Power
company absorbed the Bethel Electric
Light & Power company and is now own
er, in addition to its water power plant
at Gaysville, of water power in Royal
ton about one mile below Bethel village,
and steam auxiliary plant at Bethel.
The Gaysville company has been supply
ing from these three plants, all linked
together, lights and power at Gaysyilie
village, Bethel village, Randolph, and
for operating and cutting sheds of the
Woodbury. Granite company at Bethel
village and for operating the Bethel
quarry.
PENNSYLVANIA coal cannot compete
with Vermont white coal" The Gays
vile company cannot meet its present
demands for energy from its water
power alone. In times of low water,
when 1t Is necessary to use the steam
auxiliary plant the company is selling
energy at positive loss, the cost OF
steam power being so much more than
water power. Randolph now is using
about 200 horse power and IS demanding
800.
Contracts closed last Thursday call for
the following improvements in the pres
ent systems: Two wheels have been
bought for the Royalton plant, one of
$50 horse power and one of 300, with two
generators of the same capacity. A
.O00-horse power steam turbine has
been bought for the Bethel steam plant.
These are to be installed within go days.
One hundred miles of wire have been
bought, and the work win be pushed at
once of securing the rights Of way and
pushing the line over the mountain.
The Brandon plant is water power
with steam auxiliary and Is capable Of
developing ! 900 horse power. The Hor-
tonia company has just bought one Of
the most ideal water power privileges in
New England, situated in the town of
Tinmouth, about l3 miles from Rutland,
capable of developing with the proper
storage over 10000 horse power. About
two thousand acres Of land cna be food.
ed by a dam built in a narrow gorge at
the outlet Of the valley. This dam
should be about 30 feet high. 200 feet
thick AZ base. tspering 10 50 feet at top.
With a penstock ! 500 feet long, a head
Of 420 feet can be secured.

NO GENERAL STRIKE.
Among Machinists Throughout New Eng
land States.

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 9.-Following q
conference held here yesterday between
William H. Johnston, international pres
ident of the Machinists' association, and
l6 vice presidents and organizers of the
union from the New England states, il
was announced by President Johnston
that no general strike of the machinists
would be called to enforce the demands
for the eight-hour day.
IL was decided, however, Mr. John
ston said, at once to put under way a
general campaign of organization, and
for this purpose L. additional meh viii
be put to work Monday. The shops
which have not as yet granted the re-
guest will be dealt with as individuals
and an attempt will be made to secure
the new working conditions by negotia-
tions between the employers and en-
ployes. If this fails. Mr. Johnston add
ed, strikes will in all probability follow
at once.
Il feel very optimistic" said Mr..
Johnston, "that no reasonable minded
employer win refuse the just demands
of the men, We are asking for an
eight-hour work day, with time and one
half pay for all overtime work after
the usual quitting time. No substitute
for the eight-hour day in the form of
bonus or otherwise viii be accepted, and
If it comes TO a general fight, we are
ready TO carry il to a finish.
"From over so cities in New England
have come requests for organizers and
help in securing the eight-hour day, and
we believe that the time is now ripe to
secure what maehinists have been pray
ing for for years. We believe we win
secure it without the necessity of men
leaving their work, and strikes will be
called only as last resort"
The conference yesterday. Mr. John
ston said was mainly to hear reports
of conditions in various parts of New
England. The next session will be held
Friday or Saturday in New York. In
addition to President Johnston, the fol-
lowing international officers of the ma.
chinists were present:
Vice Presidents Peter j. Conlon, Frank
Jennings, J. j. keppler and Thomas J.
Savage. Others were organizers and
business agents of various local unions.
After the adjournment Of the confer
ence yesterday. international President
Johnston and Vice President Thomas J.
Savage, left for Boston. where Mr.. John
ston said they win meet Monday with
local organizers and executive officers
there. Mr.. Johnston added that he ex-
pected TO be in Bridgeport Monday night
to attend the meeting Of the employees of
the Locomotive company, at which time
the report OF their committees, appoint
cd Saturday, TO present demands for
the cight-hou day viii be heard.
