CITY FEELS PINCH
OF A BREAD FAMINE
Officials at Work Trying to Adjust
Strike of the Largest Bakers
Union in Chicago.

CHICAGO. April 30.-With the city
already feeling the pinch of bread
famine, municipal, state and federal
officials today joined in an attempt to
adjust a strike of Chicago's largest
bakers unions which began Saturday
Fear that protracted strike would
result in actual suffering prompted
Mavor Thompson to call conference
of strike leaders and representatives
of bakeries and hope was expressed
that some sort of a settlement would be
reached within the next 81 hours. Fif-
teen of the largest bakeries and about
20 smaller ones were closed today as
result Of the strike and were unable
to supply their customers with their
regular daily quota of nearly 800, 900
loaveS.
Rioting in the west side Ghetto dis
trict and a bread famine in many see
| tions of the city marked the bakers
strike today. In the Ghetto hundreds
of strike sympathizers, many of them
women, spoiled hundreds of loaves by
throwing kerosene i'll shops and bread
wagons. The strike has cut off bread
supply estimated at | 100000 loaves q
day.
Families dependent on the large
bakeries found they must get along to
day on stale crusts or no bread. Grocer
les and delicatessen stores that had
not their own bakeries had no bread
no breakfast rolls, no coffee cakes, ne
doughnuts.
Many morning meal had to bC
abridged. Many restaurants were with
out rolls this morning and some wer,
without bread. The big bakers declare
that their principal objection to the de
mands of the bakers union is not tn,
wages asked, but the insistence of th
union that all foremcn in the bakcrie
shall be employed on the approval of TIL
union and shall be dismissed on deman'
of the men working under them.

NEW PASTOR BREACHES.
Rev. Douglass G.. Guest Delivers Two
Strong Sermons.

Rev. Douglas G. Guest preached his
opening sermon in the Methodist Episco-
pal church Sunday morning, taking for
his text Acts 22:10, "What shall | do
Lord?' After briefly reviewing the
events in the life of the early church
from the Day of Penteeost up to the
journey of Saul of Tarsus to Damascus
he stated that Saul question marked
the turning point in his life. For after
all it is what we do that really counts.
Wealth, fame and great age are of little
Importance unless we are inspired to
action and service. For we are the
architects of our own fortunes. We
make ourselves mentally, financially
and spiritually. The question of the
| text is no empty form, we must be ready
/ TO do what the Lord commands. Paul
looking back, could point to a won race
and finished course. Jesus to fin
ished work. Our work must be done and
done by ourselves and in such way
as to stand the test. The man out OF
the Kingdom needs to turn to God. The
Christian needs a deeper spirit of con
secration. Nothing is too hard or toe
small The way is not dark for tht
light is always just ahead and the roat
leads home The subject of the even
ing sermon was Rival Roads. Both ser
mons were especially good.

APPEALS TO YOUNG

Capt. Gibson Suggests Enlistment in

Editor of the Reformer:
The selectfve draft bill is sure to
pass the Congress and become Il law
Within a few days it will be put into
force in every town i'll the country
and every man not otherwise exempt
will be called to do his duty.
Company ] has been reduced in num-
bers, b. reasons Of failures to pass
physieat examinations and claims Of
dependency, to about one-half war
strength
AS one passes our streets dozens Of
young men can be picked out from the
crowd, who, a short time hence, will be
drafted into the service of their coun-
| try, unless they sooner voluntarily en-
| list.
Now it is the duty of all interested
| in Brattleboro and the organizations
which make up her life to see to it
| that the ranks of Company | are kept
| full. Is it not much better for these
young men, who are sure to be called
to enlist in the home company in pre-
ference to being drafted2 Or if they
prefer to enlist in the regular army
there is a recruiting Office open right
on Main street
Do we realize that we are at wal
with a nation that has the most power
ful fighting machine possessed by an,
country since the beginning Of time
Ambassador Gerard declares that il
we lose ''there is no part Of the coun
try, however remote, that will be fre,
from pillage, rape, murder and ruin.
Il We must come out of this dream
that war is far off and it won't hur
us. We must see it at our very door
with the nation calling, calling for tht
best of her manhood to win this grea
fight for liberty.
May | appeal then to the patriotism
of the young men of Windham count,
TO come forward as did their ancestor
