UNION OF COUNTRY AND CITY
Vermont People Urged by Mr.. Wilson
To Cooperate.

William H. Nichols. president of the
Bennington Board OF Trade, has re-
ceived a letter from Lucius L. VIII
son of Dorset. secretary of the East
ern States Agricultural and Industrial
Exposition. Mr.. Wilson will be re-
membered here as he spoke at the an

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 81, 1916.

My dear Sir The Eastern States Ag-

gether in New England Tor the bene.
III OF both.
We think a New England Farm and
Business Conference under the aus
pices OF the Eastern States Exposition
should be held to work out the press
ing economic problems that arise
from the decline of New England az
riculture and the steady increase in
the manufacturing population. The
purchasing power of days wage in
these six states suffers badly by com
parison with other manufacturing re
gions.
The failure Of the farms to hold
their own can but have vital effect
on the situation. Land under cultiva
tion in New England shrank AZ pei
cent from 1860 to 1910, but the wage
earning population increased 359 pei
cent In the same period. There are
more mouths TO feed each year ant
less to feed them with

Revising the Ten Commandments.

The forthcoming general convention
of the Protestant Episcopal church
will have before IL proposal emanat.
ing from a commission of bishops,
clergy and laymen to alter the form Of
of the 10 commandments as they are
now printed in the catechism and the
communion office. The commission
reports in favor of shortening the
commandments by the omission OF
the time honored reasons for their OBJ
seryance. The proposed change will
affect the first five commandments so
that they will read as follows;
|. Thou shalt have none other God
but me.
3. Thou shalt not make TO thyself
any craven image nor the likeness OF
any thing that is in heaven above, or
in the earth beneath, or in the water
under the earth, thou shalt not bow
down to them, nor worship them.
3, Thou shalt not take the name Of
the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath day.
8. Honor thy father and thy moth.
e;
The commission has recommended
these changes FOR the reason that the
arguments Tor the observance of
these divine laws are not parts of the
commandments themselves; they
were peculiar to the national life OF
| ,h, Ig,,aItttng nnd nhnuWaI condition.
have robbed the arguments OF much
OF their weight
The proposal is not 80 radical as II
appears ON the surface. The 10 com
mandmonis were printed in this short
oncd form IN the first prayer book of
the American church published in
1bi9 and also in the prayer book used
In the Episcopal church of Scotland

New York, Sept. 15.-Eighty thou
sand workers in traits closely atIil-
lated with the operation of New
YOrk's traction lines are expected to
go on strike by Monday. it was an
nOunced at the close OF a meeting of
the Central Federated union here late
tonight. Representatives of 100000
unionized employees were present at
the meeting it was said, and passed a
resolution calling upon each trade to
ascertain the sentiment of members
regarding a general strike in sympa-
thy with the carmen here who quit
their places September 6.
A referendum has been in progress
among many of the crafts for several
days. The trades in which the refer
endum has been in progress. it is
said include longshoremen. teamsters,
power house employees, stationary en-
gineers and tiremen and machinists.
The only craft upon which figures
were available tonight was the ma.
chinists and it was said that the vote
in that trade showed about 20 per
cent of the membership favoring a
sympathetic strike.
Union leaders attach most import
ance to the action of the machinists,
most of whom are employed in plants
manufacturing munitions of war for
the entente allies The effect of the
strike in that trade. they say, would
be direct blow at the Morgan inter.

Several persons were injured, none
of them seriously, in two traction ac.
cidents tonight. The most serious was
a rear-end collision between two
trains on the Third Avenue Elevated
line. Passengers were hurled from
their seats and many suffered severe
injuries. Downtown trailice was
held up more than an hour as a result
OF the accident
Two trolley cars were in collision
in the Bronx and four persons, one
a patrolman on strike duty. were in
jured. 1t is said the cars were being
operated by strikebreakers.
Although surface car service wa!
much improved over previous day,
subway and elevated trains were NOR,
crowded today than at any time sine,
the strike was called This was ex
planned in part by rain during the lat'
afternoon which sent many pedes
