The labor furry in the district this week when
the Mexican and Spaniard miners walked with
out notice at the Coronado, Metcalf Humboldt, and
Longfeow mines of the C. Co. and later clos
ed the big concentration, without first exhausting
every remedy provided for in the agreement be-
tween the employees and the mining companies,
was an act of bad faith on the part of the miners
calculated to injure the cause of organized Ia
Dor in the district According to the signed agree
ment which has been in effect for the past three
months, between the employees and the mining
companies elaborate machinery is provided for
hearing real or imaginary grievances of employees
through regular grievance committees Until
this remedy has been exhausted, and a strike au-
thorized by the Central Labor Union, such lareup
as that which occurred Tuesday and Wednesday
is a violation by the miners of agreement of
their own making 1t is high time that the
servative labor unionists in the district take the
Egitators in hand and enforce discipline and OBJ
servance of agreements.

A man who gave his name as Edgar
Austin was arraigned in municipal
court yesterday afternoon on the
charge of creating a disturbance at
North Bennington Sunday afternoon.
1t was evident that the man was in no
condition neryously TO undergo hear
ing and the case was continued. 1t is
probable that he will be examined to-
day as to his sanity
Austin. who has been working on
the night SHIFT at the IA. c. White fac
tory, is reported to be peculiar Be
cause of this fact he has been consid-
erably annoyed by the young boys of
the village. Sunday afternoon while he
was on his way to the Rutland rail
road station and when near the Sim
mons store he drew a 3S calibre reyol-
yer from the top pocket of his coat
and fred at Charles Phillips, a high
school boy who was riding a bicycle
The bullet missed the boy and struck
the ground in the rear of his wheel.
Austin proceeded to the station
where he purchased a ticket for Troy
He was about the station grounds
when he was arrested by officer Per
rott of this village. The officer ap-
preached Austin and suddeing snatch
ed the revolver out of the mans poe
ket. Austin was then brought to this
village and lodged in Jail.
Austin had been living with Domi
nick Richards on the road leading
from the Hinsdillyille church to the
Hall farm. The two men kept house
together but Sunday they separated,
according to Richards statement, be-
cause Austin was too free in his use
of liquor, Austin gathered his belong
ings and left the house and after he
had been gone some time Richards
missed a revolver which he had kept

When the case was brought before
the December term of county court

of $4,000 damages but the case was
taken to the supreme court and was

Cooperation of Beligerents.

Long Branch, N. j., Oct. IL
President Wilson announced today
that his efforts to bring about an agree
ment among belligerent nations to al
low relief supplies to be sent to Po-
land had failed.
The President gave out statment
saying he had received replies from
the rulers of Great Britain, France,
Russia, Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary to letter he sent in July, sug-
gesting that those nations combine to
assist in Polish relief work
The statement says:
81 have now received replies from
the King of England, the President of
France, the Emperor of Russia, the
Emperor of Germany, and the Emper
or of Austria, to my letter of July 20,
1916, in which rendered the offices of
this Government in negotiations look
ing to a fresh consideration of the
possibility and method of relieving
Poland. 1t appears, greatly regret
to say, that there are still important
differences between the Allied and
Central Powers as to the terms under
which relief supplies may be sent to
Poland. I am disappointed that | have
not yet been successful in induring
the powers to conclude a definite set.
