STEELHEAD TROUT
FOR WEST RIVER
Federal Bureau of Fisheries Ships 90
Cans of Fingerlings to Be Placed
Above West Dummerston Dam.

Notice has been received from the
federal bureau Of fisheries that a ship
ment of 20 cans of steelhead trout fin
gerlings will reach BrattlebOro tomor
row. These fish will be placed in West
river above the West Dummerston dam,
and more of the same variety will be re-
ceived later for the same stream.
When Fish and Game Commissioner
j. W. Titcomb was in Brattleboro re-
Gently it was suggested to him that
something ought to be done to improve
the fishing in West river. Since the
summer temperature of the water in
this stream is too high to make stock
ing it with brook trout advisable, it was
decided to try the experiment of plant
ing a liberal number of steelhead or
rainbow trout, western variety which
has been brought to the eastern part
of the United States in large quantities
in recent years and has done well in
the lakes and streams of northern New
England The steelhead is game fish
of the finest qualities and under ia
vorable conditions attains weight of
10 or y pounds. If conditions in West
river prove favorable to its growth its
Iintroductioa there should provide some
| of the finest fishing in this part of New
! England.

inal Case Coming Next.

The case of Richard B. Reed against
the Ilium Lumber Co., now on trial in
the Windham county court, had

ing for the afternoon session the re-
buttal testimony by the plaintiff, and
the arguments.

$3.50 due him for labor from the de
fcndant company, basing his claim on
al alleged talk with President Eaton
of the company in which the plaintiff
claims that the president promised to
see that he received pay for all of his
labor after an Independent contractor
by whom Reed was first employed, had
failed 10 meet the terms of an agree
mcnt with Reed. The company denies
obligation.

Many Elevated Trains Were
Attacked Early This
Forenoon
UNIONS HESITATE TO
JOIN BIG WALKOUT
Labor Leaders Acknowledge That Sym
pathetic Demonstration Set for To-
morrow May Have to Be Postponed
Fear of Blacklisting.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Disorder again
broke out during the early hours today in
connection with the street railway strike.
According to the police, dozen elevated
trains were bombarded with sticks and
stones thrown from. rooftops by strikers
and sympathizers.
Three persons were injured by 1ying
glass and windows on third avenue train
were shattered by missiles. Two arrests
were made. One OF the men in custody
is charged with having revolver in his
possession.
Executives of the joint Labor Confer
ence committee, who arranged for a gen
eral strike by organized wage earners in
this city commencing tomorrow morning,
as a sympathetic demonstration in aid OF
the striking carmen, announced last night
that some of the unions of New York and
vicinity probably would not be able to
join in the movement until the end Of this
week or later
Rumors that some such change in the
original program might be considered ex-
pedient had been circulated frequently
since the vote to suspend was taken on
last Friday, but this was. the first time
they had been officially confirmed by the
leaders
The announcement was made after the
leaders at their third meeting had received
what they termed encouraging reports
from many labor organizations which were
said to have ratified the action of their
business agents and delegates. It was es-
timated from these reports that 40 per
cent of the organized strength of the work
ers in this city, or about 100000 persons
out Of possible $4,000, had already
pledged themselves to the demonstration,
but names of the unions were withheld.
for the purpose, it was said, of protecting
members from being 'blacklisted' by en-
ployers.
