COMPENSATION DENIED.
Troublesome Case Disposed of By Com
missioner Simonds.

Compensation has been denied by Com
missioner of Industries r. W. Simonds in
the case of IdelIa Boyle, Ruby, Shirley
and Bernice Lowell as dependents of
r. \. Lowell, who was fatally injured in
1916 while employed by Charles Joy of
Sutton. The claim was made against
the Parker g. Young company, by whom,
it was claimed, Lowell was employed
This has been one of the most trouble
some cases that has come to the atten-
tion of the department. First Mary Ann
lowell made claim for the compensation
on the ground that Lowell was killed
while employed by the defendant in the
above case. This was denied on the
grounds that the woman. although she
did not have a divorce from Lowell, was
living with another man. Then the case
stated above was brought and in this the
compensation was denied to the BOYLE
woman because she did not show mar
riage to Lowell The compensation to
the children was denied because it WAS
shown by the evidence that Lowell was
by JOY. an independent con
tractor, instead of by the Parker &
Young company, and that the independ-
ent contractor Is not under the act as set
forth in its provisions.

No More Heatless Mondays

The Critical Fuel Situation

Not Relieved

The following oflicial statement was

day, relative to the lifting of the cheat
less Monday" ruling: "At meeting of
the state fuel administrators of New
England in Boston on the Goth ii was
unanimously decided to raise the EN-.
barge ON Mondays and thereby permit
work and business to proceed as usual.
Nevertheless such abolishment of heat
less Mondays does not mean that the
critical Situation in New England is re-
lieved. On account of the present acute
condition the same frugality in the use
of fuel in churches, stores, offices, ships
and places of amusement should be ex-
ercised as heretofore Although the Of
fetal ban is removed the obligation to
conserve fuel is Just as great. 1t is no
longer an obligation to obey the legal
requirements but an obligation to per
form a patriotic duty. Therefore. the
citizens of Vermont are hereby cordially
urged to observe in full the spirit and
intent of the recommendations of this
Office relative to conservation of fuel.
"To meet the situation for the coming
wear every person who has any leisure
should employ it so far as he is able
in the production OF wood supply. 1t
should be apparent that the farmer can
not meet the productive demands laid
upon him without additional supply OF
labor and as the fuel problem is pre-
eminently city and village problem it
is the duty of all city and village people
to resort to all measures to supply them
selves with wood

28I WOMEN
TOOK THE OATH
Barre Board of Civil Authority Was
Much Rushed By the Crowd of
Expectant Voters.

! Women seeking TO ratify the franchise
extended them at tine last session of the
general assembly by registering for the
checklist to be used in the March cleo
tions, nearly swamped the board of civil
authority last evening at a meeting held
especially for abeir accommodation.
Around a dozen members of the board,
with +. G. Rowland acting as chairman
and Judge H. W. Scott administering the
oath, had to look sharply TO hold their
seats, 50 closely did the eager women
crowd the court room at city hall All
told PSI women registered, but nearly
twice that number waited at one time or
another in the corridor and court room.
Inc board handled the applicants for reg
istration as expeditiously as possible, but
it was slow work at best. and many OF
those who came in the early evening to
take the freeman's oath grew weary of
waiting and went home, resolved, how
ever, TO try again.
Tonight another opportunity awaits
those who failed to register last evening.
The board of civil authority will convene
again at 1880 o'clock, aud if the rush of
last night is repeated adjournment prob
ably will be taken TO tomorrow evening.
In any event another meeting is sched
uled for next Wednesday night, so those
who have failed thus FAR to ret their
names on the checklist by no means have
forfeited their last chance.
Thus far 2SS women have registered,
seven having appeared before the board
on the occasion OF the first meeting Tues
day night. 1t is stated that nearly 600
are entitled TO exercise the suffrage in
matters this year by reason of
the fact that they paid taxes last year
on personal property or real estate.
