Several of the Unions We're Not Anx-

First.

Schenectady, Oct 11.-One week
ago today 1900 workers withdrew
from the General Electric company's
plant demanding a forty-eight hour
week instead of ffty.fye hour
week. Today the indications are that
settlement of the dispute is not as
near at hand as it was on the Friday
preceding the walkout. Both sides
are holding firm, the company to its
compromise offer and the workers
leaders to Il demand for an eight,
hour day.
George Z. Emmons, plant manager,
who represents the company in all
conferences with workers, will leave
Schenectady today TO pass three or
four days in Erie Pa. His absence
from Schenectady makes it certain
there can be no adjustment before
the last OF the week and even the
most optimistic of the strikers do not
expect a settlement for at least an
other week The return of the state
arbtrators TO Schenectady within
the next few days may bring about a
second conference. but there has
been no evidence on the part OF the
company or the workers themselves
that either seeks a second meeting.
That the full significance of the
walkout Of last Monday is dawning
upon the workers was evident yes.

BANK PRESIDENT
At BRATTLEBORO
INDICTED
Geo. C. AveriII Charged.With Max
Ing False Entries on Books
TO DECEIVE IBANK EXAMINERS
It Is Not Charged That Mr.. Averill
Has Injured the Bank or
Taken Money.

Brattleboro, Oct. 11.-George c.
Averill, for IS years president of the
Vermont National bank here, was to-
day arrested under an indictment
charging him with making false Ell
tries in the books of the bank with
intent to deceive the federal bank in
spectors
1t is not charged that the bank has
been injured or that any money has
been lost or any wrong doing cover
ed up, but the accusation and indict;
ment are said to be the result of the
refusal of Mr.. Ayerill to follow the
directions of the United States au-
thorities in keeping the bank books.
This controversy with the bank ex-
amner has been in progress for two
years and last May Mr. Averill re-
signed as president and director He
was succeeded as president by DR.. ii.
D. Holton. 1t was stated then that
the resignation was due to his health.
Mr.. AVerlll was arrested Dy united
States Marshal A. p. Carpenter who
took him to ST. Johnsbury to have
the bail fixed by Judge Howe. He
was accompanied by his attorney
Hermon L. Eddy,
The indictment against Mr.. Ayerill
was returned by the United States
grand iury at Rutland last week. The
Vermont national bank is one of the
largest and NOSE successful in the
state. Mr.. Averill has been connect
ed with it for 80 years having been
teller and then cashier before he was
president. He is one of the trustees
of the Brattleboro Retreatand is treas

place in the old part of the South
Main Street cemetery this afternoon.
Nothing in the superficial eXamina-
tion gives ground for suspicion of
foul play. The last that was seen of
Ward alive, so far as known, he was
standing on the bridge over Stevens
brook on Lake street about eight o.
clock Friday evening in company
with Eddie Gilman and Daniel Drew,
familiar figures in local police court.
He had apparently been drinking
heavily during the day and evening.

The first killing frost of the season
descended on Bennington and vicin-
ity Sunday night and Monday morn
ing, the ground in places being white
with the initial evidence of tardy
autumn.
1t is reported that in many parts
of the village the mercury went as
low as SO degrees and most of the re-
naming outdoor plants and shrub
berry were severely nipped.
The appearance OF the first real,
frost so late in the season is most re
markable as this is the first time in
years that its coming has been delay
ed ten days into October. In other
years frost has been in evidence as
early as the 10th of September. There
was no damage TO crops as they have
practically all been harvested.

new Greek Cabinet held long sessions
on Saturday and yesterday to consid
er its policy in regard to the alliance
with Serbia, concerning which the en-
tente powers are awaiting a definite
announcement, but no decision was
reached
1t is surmised here that its prolong
ed discussions are related to the
secret treaty between the central
powers and Bulgaria, said to have
been made last July, information con
cerning which is understood to have
been laid before Premier Zaimis by
the Ministers of the Quadruple En-
tente. This treaty provided for the
cession to Bulgaria of Serbian and
Greek Macedonia, including the ports
of Saloniki and Kavala

firmed the news printed in the Patris

The correspondent says that he al
so is able to confirm it. and adds
that the British Minister handed the
text of the treaty to NJ Zaimis the
day he assumed the Premiership.

respondent, doubtless will be the
subject of grave debate in the Parlia-
ment on Monday, when the new Gov
