WORK ON THE HOSPITAL
Most of the Rough Work is Done and
Its Finish is Near.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
Henry w. Putnam Memorial hospital
under supervision of the National
Surety company, who took up the
work after the failure of Hannigan
& McGoyern. During the four weeks
which they have been on the job the
structure has been rapidly advHnced,
notwithstanding the difficulty of Sc
curing help and the delay experienced
in receiving shipments of materials
when needed. One instance of the
handicap suffered by delayed freight
is six carloads of finished material
for the carpenter work, now two
weeks overdue.
All the rought work on the building
is finished to the plastering. Heating
and plumbing have reached the stage
for the test electricians are doing the
wiring and tile is being laid in some
parts, although this is another mater
ial which is far behind in shipment.
The grounds about the building are
fast assuming the beauty which
nature and artists intended. That
part of the land Immediately east of
the hospital is being graded for
spacious lawn, while the piece below
the promontory is also being leyeled
and planted with trees and shrubbery
A boundry Of privet hedge is parai-
leled by row of maple trees the ell
tire length facing Dewey St, and the
walks and drives about the grounds
will also be shaded by maple trees.
The grounds on the south and west
will be devoted mostly to flower gar
dens one of which is already finished
and nearly ready to bloom. On the
north side of the building about two
acres have been planted to potatoes.
The building of the walks and
drives has also been hampered by in
ability to get the finer grade of
crushed stone, which is secured in
Troy.
Mr.. Ward, the superintendent, had
as visitors this week a delegation Of
gentlemen from Springfield, this
state, who came TO Bennington to get
ideas for the building of proposed
hospital in that town.

ELECTRICIANS
WON 7 SUPPORT
MACH|N|STS
No Sympathetic Strike to Be
Ordered in Schenectady
TROUBLE OVER NEGRO
Company's Assurance that Men Are
Not to Be Displaced by Colored
Workers AvaiIs Nothing.

Albany, June 22-The 5000 electri
cal workers representing the largest
international labor union at the Gen
eral Electric plant at Schenectady will
not strike in sympathy with the 500t
machinists and helpers who walked
out because the company had refused
to discharge a negro employe.
This decision was reached late last
night at meeting of the electrical
workers, attended by G. n. Bugniazet
international vice president. who is
said to have advised the workers
against sympathy strike which
would tie up the entire plant and delay
the war orders being prepared
Mr.. BugniaZet left the meeting be-
fore 1t was finished and announced he
would leave Schenectady early today.
1t is declared that if the electrical
workers were to have joined in the
walk out, Mr.. Bugniazet would have
stayed in Schenectady to aid in bring
ing about a settlement.
The machinists argued four hours
yesterday over proposition by the
company to take the strikers back
under conditions existing before the
walkout At the close of the argu-
ment, the strikers voted to remain out.
The proposition framed at con-
ference in Vice President George +.
Emmons' Office was as follows:
THAT a resolution be introduced and
passed in which it shall be stated
That after having discussed the mat
ter at issue we have confidence in the
statement of the management that it
is not the intention of the company
to introduce colored labor into the
shops or displace any white labor with
colored labor, nor is it the intention
of the management to bring numbers
of colored people to Schenectady to
work in the shops, and we recommend
that any objection to the young color
ed man, Wendell King remaining at
work in the department where he is
now employed be withdrawn, and that
the machinists now on strike return
to their places and resume work, con
sidering that the matter at issue is a
closed incident
1t was virtually reiteration of the
company's offer Immediately before
and after the walkout
When the committee reported this
from Mr.. Emmons at
mornings meeting there
was an outbreak of disapproval among
the strikers and one attempted to
force an adjournment motion before
the house. Leaders cautioned the men
TO give the prODOsitiOn full conSidera-
ton and it was four hours before the
offer was rejected and the meeting ad-
ioufned

Under Suspicion
5 CONCERNS COMBINED
Government Claims Pool of a Million
Dollars is Being Used to Stifle
Competition.

Boston, June 22.-Proceedngs aim
ed that alleged unlawful combinations
in control of the fish industry were
brought by the federal government un-
der the Sherman act here yesterday
against the Boston fish pier com
pany. the New England fish exchange,
the Bay State fishing company, the
Boston fish market corporation and
the Commonwealth ice and storage
company.
The bill, which was drawn by Unit
ed States Attorney George W. Ander-
son, alleges that the companies named
have agreements involving fixing OF
maximum prices for buying and mini
mum prices for selling fish and that
through them practically all the fish
coming in on the northern Atlantic
coast is marketed.
Forty-one Boston wholesalers are
named as owning all the capital stock
OF the New England fish exchange,
each dealer owning one share. The
government charges that the defen-
dants have perverted an exchange
which should have been a market OPP
en- to all without discrimination, and
greatly improved physical facilities
furnished in part at public expense by
the commonwealth of Massachusetts,
into a means of enhancing prices
to the consumers and depressing
prices to the producers, with the in
tended and actual result of enormous
profits accruing to the defendants as
middlemen."
The bill alleges that the exchange
was formed in 1909 with $4,000 capi-
tai stock and that it levied an as
sessment on all fish sold by its mem
bers and others to whom buyers or
sellers tickets were issued until it
accumulated over a million dollars.
Thus equipped financially" says a
statement issued by Mr. Anderson, the
company obtained a very favorable

London, June 22.--The big German
offensive against the French line east

ground Tuesday night
Although the German crown prince
had launched his attack with picked
troops and covered it by heavy artil-
lery fire and by bomb-dropping air
craft, his tenure of the captured posi-
tions was short lived and only a sa-
lient 400 metres northeast of the
Noisy farm now remains in his hands.
In addition heavy casualties were in
fiicted on the Germans, who left many
dead on the field of battle.
Likewise in Champagne the crown

Attack
Springfield. Mass, June 22.-But for
the effective welding of a heavy
chestnut club yesterday afternoon,
Mrs. Louis Kurtz, who lives in the
east part of Erving, would probably
have been fatally injured by buck
deer. Hearing a commotion in the
pasture near her house she looked out
to see two bucks attacking her COW.
They had the animal down.
Snatching a club from the wood
shed, Mrs. Kurtz started for the pas
ture. One of the bucks fled to the
woods, but the other infuriated ami
NAL charged her. Mrs. Kurtz was not
to be daunted, and by a well directed
blow struck the buck between the
eyes. The buck staggered for mo-
ment and then fell dead. 1t weighed
about 100 pounds and but for Mrs.
Kurtz's quick action it might easily
have killed her. The COW was not Sc
riously injured.

ceived since the campaign started and
their was great rejoicing.
Director Slocum said that Miss
Proctor expressed the wish that no
account of the gift be made but he in
sisted on the fact being given to the
public and she finally yielded.

Gets 100000 a Year.

Washington, June 21.-Instead of
appropriating $4,000 for next years
salary of Gov. Harding of the Panama
Canal Zone, Congress by mistake,
appropriated 100000. Some one ap-
parently added another cipher to the
original figures. The mistake appears
to have originated in the engrossed
copy of the sundry civil bill. 1t had
escaped attention and the bill having
been approved by the president it is
now the law of the land. An act of

SdIaru Bill Introduced

A bill to regulate the salaries of county officers of Navajo county has been introduced in the state senate by Senator Mat tox of this county. The bill was introduced in compliance with a request in a petition signed by practically all the merchants. bankers and large taxpayers in the county.
 County officials in Navajo county receive the lowest salaries in the state. and lower than those paid in other lines of busi- ness where similar services are required. During the last few years the work in county offices has doubled and the cost of living has likewise doubled.
 The purpose of the bill intro duced by Senator MattoX is to raise the county salaries in Ma vajo county so that efficient of icers will not hesitate to accept the positions, and so that a person with no other income than his salary will be enabled to live comfortably.
 The bill if it becomes a law will not effect the salaries of those persons now in office, but will become effective for the benefit of those who are elected in the future.
