While Carrying Freight.

Montpelier, Sept, 20.-Commission-
er of Industries Robert w. Simonds
has announced his decision in the
case OF Charles +. White of Burling-
ton against the Old Bee Hive, employ
er, and the Travellers Insurance com.
pany in which he was held that the
insurance company shall pay to the
petitioner $S week for compensa-
ton for injuries received while the
petitioner was carrying freight to the
dock in Burlington while employed as
delivery clerk for the Old Bee Hive.
But in view of the fact that the 40
weeks, which period the order pro-
vided for compensation, had expired,
sum not to exceed SIS shall be paid
at once.
In the support of the defendants
case his attorneys cited Donahue's
case in the Massachusetts supreme
court which was appealed from the
Industrial Accident Board Of that
State. In this case Commissioner
Simonds held that there was no COM
parison with the case in hand and
cited many cases In support of his
decision in this case the petitioner
lost two-thirds of the vision of his left
eye, a cinder of one of the engines in
the yard getting in the eye while he
was going to the dock for the man
agement of the store.

has a reputation for earnestness and
the capacity for hard work.
His reason for making the change
from Northampton to Bennington is
the conviction that In Bennington
there is greater opportunity to de
velop a physical program among the
boys and young men.
With Mr.. Holloway come his wife
and infant daughter. They will re-
side in the Imperial on Imperial
Avenue While In Northampton
Mrs. Holloway was instrumental IN
organizing live Young Women's
Christian Association.
Plans for the physical program OF
the local association will be rapid,
formulated, and with the new. uni
yersal emphasis being placed upoi
physical development, the busies
year in the history OF the institution
is assured.

The British attack began this
