Peter L. Gordon Assaulted Aged Watch
man in Burlington.

Burlington, April rs. - A sentence Of
not less than four and half nor more
than five years in the house Of correction
was imposed ON Peter L. Gordon yester-
day afternoon in city court by Judge
Stearns. in answer to his plea Of guilty
TO breach of the peace Gordon has been
in jail since Feb. IS, when he was arrest.
ed for assaulting Martin Belaski, the
aged night watehman. who was nearly
killed while doing duty in one of the
lumber yards Gordon, on receiving SEN
tence, apparently took the matter lightly
and evidenced TO concern over the fact
that quite slice would be taken ont of
his life while he was doing duty in Rut
land
Gordon. who seems to make the bust
ness of being an adyenturer. his life's
work, was arrested after Belaski had
been found unconscious in one of the
lumber yards. 1t was evident on exami-
nation that he had not been merely
knocked out, but that he had been kicked
and abused For some time it was
matter of doubt as TO whether he would
recover and because of this doubt the
trial has been postponed until yesterday.
1t was evident from what could be
gathered by the investigation of the po
lice that Gordon and man named Jo-
seph Miner were seeking place to sleep
in the lumber yard and that Belaski
would not consent to let the men stay
here Gordon then attacked Belaski and
after beating him into unconseiousness
Scked him and evidently continued his
brutality to the point where he became
lied of ii. Miner demonstrated with
iordon, and there was no evidence to
how that he was in any way compli
ated in the assault. The case against
i'm was nole pressed.

ENEMY ALIENS LESS ACTIVE.
According to Statement BY Attorney
General Gregory.

Washington, d. 'C.. April l6, Reports
of enemy activities in the United States
are grossly exaggerated, says Attorney
General Gregory in a letter to Represen
tative Currie of Michigan, made public
last night by Mr.. Gregory.
Replying to letter from Mr., Currie
saying that strong feeling exists
through the country that the govern
ment Isl dealing too leniently with spies
and dangerous enemies, the attorney
general explainedtat length the exten-
sive work of the department of justice
in policing the country under war condi
tions. He emphasized the difficulties un-
der which the department is laboring, in
Guiding the lacking of necessary laws
under which to punish offenders "The
public assumes" Mr.. Gregory wrote,
that there is a great deal of enemy ac-
tivity going on in this country, and it is
but natural that vague rumors are mag
niiied into definite and sensational
stories. The talk of damage done by
enemy aliens in causing incendiary fires
is an illustration of this. Repeatedly
both in reputable newspapers and in
publications gotten out by citizen So
cieties exaggerated statements are made
as to the amount of damage
Statistics show that considering the
vastly increased value of merchandise
and plants. the actual fire loss to prop
erty OF all descriptions in 1917 was not
appreciably larger than that of the year
Of 1918. Likewise, the report recently
made by the national board of fire under
writer's. shows in substance that during
the last wear not one fire has been clear

emies, and at q recent conference in the /

Washington, D. c., AprG l6.--In giving

partment made il clear that the landing
of japanese and British forces at Vladi-

BARRE APPRENTICES
GET MORE WAGES
Barre Granite Manufacturers Associa-
tion Extends New Scale to Men
Learning the Business.

Apprentices in the Barre granite in.
dustry are now receiving the benefit OF
an appreciable increase in wages, as the
result of action recently taken by the
Granite Manufacturers association after
thorough canvass of the situation.
Preliminary details were in charge of the
apprentice committee, comprising u mum.
ber of manufacturers prominent in the
industry, who went into the subject care
fully and then reported in exhaustive
fashion. From time TO time people who
have at heart the best interests of
Barre's principal industry have pointed
out the rather alarming decrease in the
number of young men entering the gran.
ite cutters and polisher's trades. 1t may
be recalled that ex.Mayor Robert Cor
don, in his address more than year
ago, called attention to conditions of
apprenticeship in the trade and suggest
ed that steps be taken at once to make
the banker more attractive TO young men
of all nationalities.
Cognizance of conditions as they have
existed among the apprentices has been
taken, and it is reasonable to expect
that the number of newcomers in the
trade will increase. The wage increases
are of Il substantial nature and wholly
commensurate with the accelerated wage
increases which journeymen are receiving
in the Barre belt. The report and rec.
of the manufacturers com
mittee were adopted without a dissent
ing vote. The new schedules for cutters
and polishers are given below:
Cutter apprentices: First six months, |
sl.65 per day; second six months, 81 so |
per day; third six months, So per day
fourth six months, 1925 per day; fifth !
six months, $3.50 per day; sixth six
$3.50 per day.
Polisher apprentices: First six months,
y per day; second six months, 1920 per
lay; third six months, $3.50 per day;
'ourth six months. 50 per day.
