APPEAL TO
THE P.U. COMM

Dexter. Me, Dec. 31.-An appeal will
be made to the Uublic Utilities Com
mission by citizens of Dexter, Dover,
FoAcroft and Corinna for better train
service on the Dexter branch of the
Maine Central, owing to the change
Of time which went into effect Mon
day, unless the railraod is willing to
restore the service.
Business men are indignant and de-
clare that the curtailment means a
decided injury to business. Under the
new schedule the train leaving Dover
Foxcroft at 1901 and connecting at
Newport Junction with train due in
Boston at 1855 p NJ, is cancelled. No
other train goes out until 2.55, which
does not have a direct Boston connec-
tiOn.-The passenger desiring to reach
Boston must wait five hours at New
port Junction for the night train from
Bangor to Boston, reaching there the
following morning. The change also
fails to give an afternoon mail SER
vice to Boston, letters mailed on the
2.55 train not reaching Boston until
the following morning and New York

Among the workers for better SER
vice are Norman H. Fay of Dexter,

BAFF INDICTMENT
is SIMPLY DELAYED
AND NOT DROPPED

New York, Dec. 30.-Although the
predictions made in the district attor-
neys office that indictments for mur-
der of Nov. 30 of Barnet Baff, enemy
of the so-called poultry ring, would
be found today We're not fulfilled. Dis
trict Attorney Whitman denied that
the Baff case had collapsed in any way.
The reason that no indictment for the
Baff murder was found today was one
of policy alone, Mr.. Whitman said.
Until day or two ago the district at
torney intended to ask for a blanket
indictment of four or five men but last
night, Mr.. Whitman, Charles A. Per-
kins, who is to be his successor, and
Assistant Attorney Delahanty and
DUEL met in conference and decided to
postpone the indictment because new
lines of evidence had been opened
which promised to lead to the inclus-
ion of more of the murder conspiritors
than at first.

FAV0RS LAW LIKE
CANADIAN |NDUSTR|-
AL DISPUTE ACT

Princeton, n. j., Dec. 31-Adoption
of law similar in principle to the Ca
madam industrial disputes act was ad-
Vanced before the American Economic
Association today by Professor Frank
II. Dixon, of Dartmouth College as a
means of diminishing labor troubles in
thls country. His subject was the
Public Regulation of Railway Wages"
The principle of the Canadian In
dustrial Disputes Act which provides
for compulsory investigation of i'm
pending conflicts and requires that
conditions remain undisturbed until
the investigation is completed should
be adopted in this country" he said.
The investigators representing the
public, unlike the Canadian appointees.
should be permanent government Off
Gals who would become experts in the
handling of these controversies and in
the presentation of the results Wheth-
er or not they would command the
support of the two sides would depend
upon their ability and their personali-
ty: but the important consideration is
that they would represent the public
which needs enlightenment
The probability that strikes would
take place after the reports were pub
Ashed is remote. The interval of time.
the reluctance Of the parties and the
informed participation of the public
would be discouraging forces. Further
amendment of our existing statutes on
mediation and arbitration may proper
~ be postponed until the results of this
investigating procedure are appraised.
Mr.. Dixon also expressed the view
that Presidents of the United States
should seldom take the initiative in in
Jectlng mediators into labor disputes.

HARD SHOW FOR
GIRL WHO CANNOT
EARN over SIS PER

Princeton, N. j., Dec. 31--A girl who
earns only Sc a week must go hungry
unless she receives some outside help
Mrs Glendower Evans, of Boston, de-
clared today before the American Eco
nomic Association Mrs. Evans has
been connected with the work incident
to the establishment of minimum
wage scale in Massachusetts, and has
made an extensive survey of conditions
there.
1.-The vast majority Of wage earning
women work because they must. she
said And the vast majority earn
wages far below the requirements OF
a decent living.
How then do they live? l answer. for
the most part by enduring every form
of privation. The majority of them.
believe, are terribly underfed. Every
study Of budgets and living conditions
that l know of shows this. Sometimes
women confess 1t plainly. I don't know
how 1 ever lived or, I almost starved
they will say in explaining their cir
cumstances. Others are too proud to
confess their privations. You see l am
dieting was the explanation Of girl
for her two cent lunch at cafeteria"
Mrs. Evans then told the story of a
girl that made six dollars a week whom
the Minimum Wage Compassion of
Massachusetts interviewed. The girl
admitted that she received money from
Illicit resources. She declared sha was
forced to go hungry when she tried to
live on Sc week.
Il do not tell you this story that an
inference may be drawn in regard to
low wages which l do not draw" Mrs.
Evans said. Il tell it to illustrate the
point l have made. that girl who
earns Sc a week, unless she is helped
out somehow, must go hungry"
The Massachusetts commission re-
Gently agreed upon 1871 as a living
wage for women. but as yet this
amount is not being paid as a mini
mum in that state. A fifteen and one
half cent an hour rate went into effect
on August Is, 1914, in the brush max
ing industry and it is expected later to
establish minimum rates of pay in 9TH
er industries.
