 ANCHORAGE. March 6. - Several long cherished, and in some sections most dcvoutly worshipped, idols are smashed: now, unique yet sound, practical and just precedents estab- lished; important history made in this great northland which will have a far-reaching and beneficial effect; master and man meeting on a com mon level, treating each other like human beings, and preparing to set tie their differences in a sane, praC- tical. fair and business-like way, in stead of pursuing the too common policy of shooting each other up Iruthlessly destroying life and proper ty and acting generally like blood crazed troglodytes; Uncle Sam conde- scending to arbitrate with common shovel stiffs the disputed question as to what is a fair and living wage in Alaska - these are a few of the more important incidents which have varied the monontony of winter life here during the month our labor dis turbances" has been in progress.
 This town, you may remember, is the most unique of the worlds mu- inequalities - the construction head quarters for the governments only real railroad - the spot where, sey- eral decades behind his old world neighbors.

 Secretary Lanes reply to the un-I ions request for increases in wages which included the information that a special committee was en route to Anchorage to aid in arranging a set. tlement and also authorizing Commis sioner Mears to put the new schedule into effect, was received Thursday The commissioner having asked for the privilege of coming before the union and communicating that reply in person, a special meeting was called for the following afternoon att the new hall. and the address was given close and respectful attention by the 800 or more members pres ent. Referring to the general situa- ton here, Mr. Mears said there is a general disposition to disregard the national significance of local events like the one which has attracted at tention to Anchorage, and to forget that those in local authority are but servants. hired to carry out the will and instructions of their superior of ficers.
 Thus, when the disaffection among men composing the steel gang caused  them to walk out on February :, it was probably the common impression that l would have authority to grant a general raise in wages, but nothing could be farther from the truth. You will note that it is the secretary's wish that you return to work tempor- arily at thes present scale of wages, and until the new scale is put into effect as a result of the conference about to be held. It would serve no useful purpose to refuse to return to work at this time under these condi- tions. Secretary Lane has been fair and reasonable, and any attempt on your part to avoid meeting him half

ONE MAN TO HANDLE MILK
OF All the Members of the Vermont
Dairymen's Association.

Bellows Falls, Sept. 2S.--One of the
largest meetings OF milk producers ever
held in this section OF the state met
here yesterday to discuss the milk sit
uation. Between 60 and 10 producers
were present in the meeting in the Ho-
tel Windham. The meeting was strict
~ confined TO producers and efforts OF
two representatives, of Boston milk con-
Germs to enter were UNSUCCESSFUL. Press
representatives were also barred.
After the meeting Frank Northrop OF
ludlow said that beginning October /,
all the milk produced by the members
OF the Vermont Dairymen's association
would be sold through him, as the or
ganizstion's representative. The organ
ization of the association has not been
but it will have branches in
every section of each of the New Eng
land states and will work in cooperation
with the New England Milk Producers
association. Mr.. Northrop did not know
how much the local producers would re-
ceive for their milk after October !, but
he said that he would demand at least
80 cents for an eight and a half quart
can, delivered on the platform at Bos-
ton. This means that the members OF
the association, doing business through
him, will pay for their own shipments
and the nearer Boston they are the more
money they will receive. He estimated
that producers loading milk at Bellows
Falls would receive, at the rate of 90
cents can, five cents and fraction for
each quart of milk.

FRENCH PEOPLE EXULTED
Over the Fall of Combles and Thiepval
TO the Allies.

Paris. Sept. est was not village
the allies assaulted-it was fortress,
saws La Liberties special correspondent
at the front describing the taking OF
Combles.
"When it was captured the corre-
spondent adds, "it was a .charnel house.
What remained of the garrison OF two
ba ttalions fought furiously and every cor
ner of the town was the theatre for mur'
derous combats. No ground was yielded.
Every inch was conquered.
"The ruins of a church changed hands
three times during the 20 minutes it took
the French and British after they had
closed ring around the town TO reduce
the last stronghold, the fall of which was
saluted with enthusiastic cheering by the
troops. 1t was then impossible to take
two steps without encountering dead.
"In cellars and dugouts dead and
wounded lay mingled by the hundreds
and it is now certain that the allies did
not take a greater number OF prisoners
because the garrison was virtually ami
hilated in the assault and the previous
shelings. Many of the deaths seemed
to date back few days.
"The iubilation OF the soldiers over
this victory communicated itself to the
villages behind the lines, where for the
first time since the war began satisfac-
ton over success took the form OF cele-
brations. Civilians feasted the troops,
organized impromptu concerts, sang the
national hymns of the allies and ac.
claimed the victory of Combles and
Thiepval"

In $4,000 Suit of Charles
Barclay VS.. We ore &
Morse Gra' Co.
PLAINTIFF ) JURED
BY a ; EXPLOSION
Case Was Given to the Jury
Late This After
noon

The case of Charles Barclay vs.. Wet
more & Morse Granite Co., in which the
plaintiff, an experienced quarryman, asks
damages OF $4,000 as the result of in
iuries sustained year ago last May
while employed in the defendants quar-
~ at Graniteyille, went to the jury late
this forenoon in Washington county
court.
The suit was commenced yesterday
afternoon and progressed rapidly, the de-
fendant not placing witness on the
stand, being content with examining the
plaintiff and his witnesses. The plaintiff
contended that the company. through
its foreman, Mr.. Lance, was negligent in
ordering him TO prepare second blast
TO dislodge a stone in the quarry, and as
a result of obeying the foreman's orders
an explosion of powder occurred, result
ing in his being made almost totally
blind, his hearing affected, his right arm
injured, and his nerves shattered so that
he has not yet recovered.
Ii seems that Barclay was instructed
TO prepare second blast after the first
one had failed to satisfy the foreman
that the granite block had been suffi.
ciently loosened, and that the stone
slipped while Barclay was preparing the
second blast and inflicted the injuries
described above. 1t was the contention
OF the plaintiff that Foreman Lance
proved himself incompetent and negli-
gent in issuing an order before investi-
eating to ascertain the condition of the
stone. 1t is believed the stone slipped
and caused the premature explosion.
Attorney John Gordon for the plaintiff
made a brilliant and forceful argument
this forenoon, calling attention to the
age of the plaintiff, 56 years at the time
OF the accident the good health he had
enjoyed until that time, and his earning
capacity, between eight and nine hun
dred dollars year
He asked the jury to measure the
amount of damages by considering the
earning capacity of the plaintiff in his
normal condition and his present plight,
and the suffering he had undergone, and
urged the jurors to allow sound iudg-
1nent and sense of justice to guide them,
rather than sympathy.
