FISHERMEN DIDN'T BITE
Game Protector Cruickshank Didn't
Have Right Kind of Bait.

Game Protector Cruickshank of
Salem was in town Thursday endeay-
oring to pursuade number OF local
fishermen that they ought to take a
trip into New York and plead guilty
to fishing in the waters OF the En-
pire state without license. He failed
to secure any recruits, presumably for
the reason that the bait didn't appear
particularly attractive.
Several of the Bennington fishermen
have fished the Battenkill river and
the White Creek stream this year on
the other side Of the New York state
line. Mr.. Cruickshank evidently is OF
the opinion that the laws OF New YORK.
have been violated in that these fish
ermen did not have licenses on the oc-
casions when they first visited these
streams. These same fishermen have
since taken out licenses and would
have done so long ago had it been
possible to procure the certificates.
There is some diversity of opinion
regarding the New York law in this
respect. AS originally drafted the
particular statute was drawn to cover
the case of Canadians who were ac-
customed to fish on the American side
of the st. Lawrence river. Canada ex-
acts a license from American fisher
men and the act was passed as re-
measure. Now that Vermont
has enacted statute requiring spec
ial license from fishermen from out
side the state the New York protec-
tors hold that Vermonters must take
out license to fish in New York
waters.

When it became known by Presi-
dent Storrs that the trollymen could
obtain no satisfaction from General
Manager C. Q. Richmond of the road,
he telegraphed the union from Wash
ington, d. c. asking for full par:lcu-
lars. They were sent to him Wednes-
day and his quick reply with the re-
quest for a conference has won HIM
the commentator of the union lead
ers. The union has taken a strike
vote and the 450 members were prac-
tically unanimous in favor of strike.

OF the House of Representatives. com
mitted suicide by hanging this fore

old granddaughter, Lena Clifford, who
told the family to go to the barn.
Mr. Hewitt had been in poor health
for two years, having suffered shock
which affected his speech, and for
several months he was in serious
condition. Although he recovered his
health to some extent the shock is
believed to have affected his mind.
The deceased was born in Barre No

lie schools and at Montpelier Semi
nary He was a member of the

INADEQUATE FORCES
Were Assigned to the British Mesopo-
tamian Campaign.

London, June 27-The most scath-
ing and outspoken official report of
the investigation of any military oper-
ations since the war began, not even
excluding the report on the ill-fated
Dardanelles expedition, was made
public in blue book issued last night.
This was the report of the commission
which has been investigating the
Mesopotamian exposition.
Put briefly, the report finds that the
expedition was of justifable military
enterprise, but was undertaken with
insufficient forces and inadequate prep
aration,' and that its initial failure,
with the loss of Eat, was due to lack
of foresight, mistakes and miscalcula-
tions The report frankly declares
that the shortcomings revealed dis
credit upon the organizing attitude of
all concerned, and apportions the chief
responsibility on General Nixon. the
former commander of the British
forces in Mesopotamia, and upon the
victory of India, Lord Hardinge, and
the commander-in-chief in India. Gen.
Sir Beauchamp Duff.

LABOROPPOSES
CONSCR|PT|ON
IN CANADA
Montreal Member Gives
Warning in Parliament
DEMAND POPULAR VOTE
Deciarees Canadians viii Be Support
ed by American Workmen Though
Loyal to President Wilson

Ottawa, Ontario; June 2S.-The
declaration that general strike of
organized labor in Canada will be
called If the Government attempts TO
apply conscription without first OBJ
tanning authority from the people, was
made in Parliament tonight by AL
phonse Cerville, who represents the
district Of Maisonneuye part of the
city of Montreal He is the only la
Dor member of the Canadian House,
and for many years was President of
the Canadian Trades and Labor Con
gress. Mr.. Verville declared that in
striking Canadian labor would have
the support of organized labor in the
United States, although there would be
no strike there. The announcement
was made in a speech on the Govern
ment Compulsory Service bill.
81 want this Parliament to under
stand" said Mr.. Verville, that pas
sage and application of this measure
means a general strike, and it means
national calamity. Even if there is
exemption there will be no change in
labor's determination This is mat
ter OF principle. 1t is not too late yet
TO avoid this calamity. If the people
of Canada. by direct verdict support
conscription then organized labor will
submit Loyalty to the decision. But or
ganized labor, which must bear the
brunt OF conscription has been ignored
and never consulted by the Canadian
Government"
Organized labor in the United States
would be loyal to President Wilson
but would cooperate, Mr. Verville
said, in the protest Of labor in Canada
against the decision of the Canadian
Government, which had been made
without consulting labor
Mr. Verville went on to say that
last February he visited Detroit, Chi
cago. Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buf:,
falo and conferred with labor men
relative to the prospective participa-
ton of the United States in the war.
Ten days before President Wilson
made his communication to Congress
asking the enactment of a measure of
selective conscription, he declared the
heads of American organized labor
NGlt ouulllOitu " iAC W nitG IlOuSt
for conference with the President
and were asked squarely what he
could expect from labor. American
labor answered that it would cooper.
ate Loyalty with the President In
Canada, Mr.. Nerville said, Premier
p0rden had followed a different
course. h
Organized labor has been ignored
since the war began" he said De
spite the fact that Canadian labor is
expected to furnish its generous share
of soldiers, there was no calling of
the members together for consulta-
ton. If it was good for the United
States Government, before presenting
its Conscription bill to Congress, to
get the goodwill and power OF or
ganized labor, why was it that the
Canadian Government decided not to
do so, but to ignore labor?
Remember. | would not be guilty
of indorsing a general strike Per
haps few know what it means. The
Government should consider what it
would mean for itself, for the coun.
try, and for the Allies"

the State university, at which he will
teach, in putting the Monroe Sky Line
trail into shape. He may extend the
trail The New York section which
he heads, is back of him, and the eX-
tent of his new work depends princi-
pally upon what time he will have and
what funds there are for the purpose.
For the first time, some of the sec
tions will measure their parts of the
Long Trail accurately. a wheel with
a cyclometer such as is used on
bicycle will be employed. 1t is hoped
before the summer is over, to measure
most of the Long Trail

clearing out the trail on Bolton noun
tain, but will build about third OF a
mile of new trail from Camp No. 4,
&C 2.3 miles say from Bolton) due

The geological survey has com
pleted its work in the so-called Ro-
chester quadrangle and recently did
some work ON the Waitsfield quad
rangle, which includes Lincoln noun
tain.
The Johnson section is planning to
build a trail over Sterling mountain.
The expenditure of the 500 appropri-
ated by the Legislature of 1912 toward |
a footbridge across the Winooski river
at Bolton is still being agitated. The |
Green Mountain club hopes to obtain |
the rest of the funds needed, 1000 say

Immediate General Reduction of 81 to

Washington, June 2S.-An immedi-

ton in the price of coal at the mine
was agreed upon here today by rep
resentatives of the coal operators.
This reduction is expected to be fol

price after investigation into the costs
of mining coal, and it is probable that
the government will be given a still
lower price than that to the general
public Hundreds of millions of dol
