PETITION IS NEXT
MOVE IN STRIKE
Car Men to Circulate Paper
Requesting Aid to Force
Company to Arbitrate.

Approximately 500 car strike
.sympathizers marched in a red light
parade Friday night and nearly 500
heard the addresses delivered from
platform in front Of the court
house in which the support of the
unions and OF the citizens of the
city was pledged and the loyalty Of
the strikers TO their cause again
reasserted.
\ letter from Gov. Goodrich. de-
Ginning the invitation 20 meet with
the strikers at their assembly and
expressing his regret that it was i'm
possible for the two parties to agree
TO arbitrate their difficulties, was
read by c. E. Miller, head of the
local Central Labor association.
Petition Next Move.
Requesting that the officials of
city. county and state exert all Of
their influences in forcing the
Northern Indiana Street Car CO. to
submit the matter to arbitration, a
petition will be circulated by the
strikers. According 10 the an
nouncement of the meeting the first
of these petitions will be set in cir
culation on Saturday.
Calling Mgr. Hardy TO task for the
assertions which he made in his
letter to the governor, Organizer
Shine of Boston, delivered the prin-
cipal address of the evening. Frank
Gilmer spoke of the relationship ex-
listing between the corporation and
the public at large and Il. Deckel-
baum traced the origin and cause
of the strike showing the justice OF
the cause OF the men.
Standing behind the street car
men," said Mr.. DeckeIbaum, whose
cause is absolutely just, the city as
a unit should pledge its support I'M
ill the strike has been Won"
Speaking of the objections raised
TO strikes as a means for obtaining
better wages and working condi-
tions, he demonstrated how the fight
of any organization to improve con-
ditions that are known TO be bad,
is a fight for the good of the com
munity as whole, just as is fight
against unhealthy houses or insani-
tary sections of a city.
Announcement was made at the
meeting that through a decision ap-
pealed by Frank Gilmer TO the court
of justice of the peace, Joseph
Wypiszynski, the striking employees
will be able to collect the pay that
until this time the company has
withheld.
Out TO Win Say Barnes.
I'VE are in this fight to win" said
Claude F. Barnes. president of the
local union. I'VE ask your kind
to stick together until this battle is
won. Keep off of the cars and keep
your friends Off"
Mr.. Shine mentioned the fact that
the public utilities commission had
refused 10 honor the contract in
which the car company trusts, as
proof of the invalidity of the docu-
ment He reiterated the statements
made in a letter addressed to the
governor in refutatiOn of the al
legged misstatements of Mgr. Hardy.
According 70 figures compiled,
there were $50 men marchers in the
parade not including 6 8 men. mem
bers OF the car mems union, dressed
in their customary uniforms. There
were. besides the men. in the neigh

BARRE'S SCHOOL GARDENS
Are Carefully Looked After by Special
Committee from woman's Club.

With a view to correct any wrong
impression that might be drawn from
the item in yesterdays paper in regard
to the school gardens, the following
statement is made. For several years
the school garden work has beens under
the direction of the Barre Woman's club
and for two years the supervisor has
been paid from their trehsury. The
work is directly in charge of special
committee from the club, from whom
the director receives her instructions.
The director not only inspects the gar
dens of the children but whenever it is
possible to meet the child she aids in
suggestions regarding soil, transplsnting
and general care of the plants, encour-
aging the child to work as faithfully as
possible and gain financial returns from
the sale of any surplus vegetables which
may be produced. This year, the work
being enlarged by the especial call from
the state to accomplish all possible re-
suits, the superintendent of the city
schools asked that some of the teachers
be allowed to assist and have supervision
of certain localities. Much valuable aid
has been given in this way. The garden
work with the children is only one of the
many ways in which the Barre Womsns
club benefits our community.

Admission that the treatment of Ger.

superior to the treatment received in

German delegate TO the recent conference
Of British and Germans on war prison

Baron Newton, one of the British dele
gates, in the House of Commons.
Virtually no complaint was made of
the British methods of dealing with war
prisoners. Lord Newton added.
One impression he derived from his
intercourse with the delegates was that,

CORDIAL WELCOME
FOR JAPANESE
Washington Aceords Highest Courtesy
to ENJOYS Who Come with
Message. y

Washington, Aug, 23,-Japsn's mis-
sion TO the United States, bearing q
message of congratuation and apprecia

peror and people of Japan, was welcomed
to Washington yesterday with warmth
and enthusiasm by the public and with
the highest marks of courtesy by the
government.
Passing through streets thronged with
people, past long lines of school children
dressed in white with the red sun OF

distinguished visitors were escorted by
cavalry to the residence of Perry Bel.
mont, where they will be the guests of
the government during their stay. To.
day they will make the formal calls
which must precede the official confer
ence being arranged for them, and in the
evening they will dine with the presi-
dent.
The mission. it is authoritatively ex-
planned, has not come here on com

the United States as brother nation
fighting for common end and to decide
after consultation how best the two ma.
tions can cooperate, both in an economic
and military sense, in carrying on the
war. While Viscount Ishli is vested
with plenipotentiary powers, the ques-
tion to be discussed will not be political,
but those of expediency and mutual as

Moving Picture Houses to
Be Allowed to Resume
on Monday
LATEST ORDER OF
BOARD OF HEALTH
Local Poliomyelitis Has So
Improved as to Allow Re-
Taxation in Quarantine

For the first time in several weeks
churches will be open Sunday and NOV,
ing picture proprietors will be permitted
TO resume business Monday as the re.
suit of an order announced to-day by
the board of health. The poliomyelitis
situation has so far cleared as to make
possible certain further relaxations OF
the quarantine and the churches, clubs
and shifting picture shows are among
the first to profit thereby. All OF the re-
strictions removed apply only to per-
sons over 10 years old, according to the
statement made by DR.. j. w. Stewart,
secretary of the health board, who says
that churches may be re.opened Sunday
if children under l6 are restricted from
participating in the public worship. The
same ruling applies to moving picture
establishments, where children under l6
are to be debarred for a time.
To-day's statement was the second
ameliorating announcement from the
board of health since the lid was put
on in July. Ten days ago licensees and
druggists were permitted to resume the
business of purveying of refreshments
and bowling alleys and pool rooms were
re e-opened. Under the new order other
public gatherings are permitted, al
though the restrictions as to children
under ll6 must be observed,
Health Officer Stewart stated to-day
that the poliomyelitis situation in Barre
remains unchanged and the possibility
of an epidemic is practically negligible.
There are no new cases and the number
Of families quarantined is constantly de-
creasing. In communities where the NAL.
ady has appeared sporadic cases have
continued into the fall, but there is lit.
tie fear that any considerable number
Of cases will develop in Barre this year.
