LABOR MEN ADDED VOICES
To Appeal That Granite Industry May
Keep Its Stride.

Governor Graham recently added his
word to the efforts Of local labor men in
opposing the recommendation Of the war
industries board that the erection OF
monuments be discouraged for the dura-
tion of the war. The board set forth its
views with extreme candor and in tone
which convinced prominent union men
here that some action should be taken at
once, The statement from the war in
dustries board, as forwarded to the gov
ernor of Vermont, is signed by d. R. Nc
Lehman, chief of the non-war eonstruc-
tion section. Realizing what the effect
would be If the recommendations were
carried out, Governor Graham immedi-
ately conferred with members of state
and local labor organizations, with the
result that President James Duncan of
the granite cutters international union
was asked to preside at a hearing in the
matter.
To understand what the consequences
Of the order might be, reading of the
following terms, to be found in the off
cial circular Of the war industries board,
is informing;
where cement is necessary in the linz
ings of graves for the purpose Of keeping
water out of the graves, the war indus
tries board thinks it entirely proper that
this should be allowed
"The board does not look with favor
upon the use of cement for foundation
work for monuments-in fact, ii wants
to discourage the erection of monuments
for the period of the war.
"Ihe war industry board does not look
with favor upon the use of cement in the
erection of mausoleums. This work also
it wants Co discourage"
President Duncan convened the confer
ence in the international offices of the
union at Quincy few days ago. Among
those attending, besides the governor,
were Alexander Ironside, president of
the Central Labor union Of Barre, and
Angus Mcdonald, secretary of that or
ganization, who substituted for Fred w.
Suitor, secretary ry-treasurer of the Quarry
Workers International union, who was
detained by illness, Henry Alexander,
president of the granite cutters Barre
branch, was also unable to attend be-
cause of illness.
Labor men who have famiIiarized
themselves with the situation agree
unanimously that Governor Graham did
some splendid work in behalf of Barre's
principal industry, and it is encouraging
TO observe that President Duncan is con-
tinuing the intercession in behalf of
granite workers and granite manufactur.
ers, as well as quarrymen and quarry
owners.

terpret everything he sees on the map as
readily one reads a book.
Notwithstanding all these facts, the general
public, and in some cases school men have
been discussing whether It would not be ad-
visable in these busy times to dispense
with the study of geography In favor of
something more warlike. on this subject
Colonel Marshall has the following to say
The study OF geography-which is simply
the worlds general term for maps-is to-
day classed among the most important duties
confronting the world. Geogra phic teaching
must be constantly kept in mind by those who
shall sit at the peace table, in order that
the proposed new boundary lines may be
properly adjusted TO insure permanent
peace.
THE best possible illustration 10 assist the
instructor in teaching about any particular
section OF the world Is a Topographic map.
because such maps speak for themselves
and In a universal language.
"a topographic map may be termed not only
adjunct but an essential part OF geog-
rnphy, II Is Indispensable to the fullest study
or planning for any outdoor building or con-
Etruction work. The man who can read and.
best OF all. remember, a topographic map
Is master OF the conditions existing IN the

How do you make Topographic map. and
why a Topographic map and what IL II all
about anyway All these questions were
fired at Colonel Marshall with machine gun
rapidity by the Newspaper man. His reply
was that in thesS busy days a man hasn't
time to tell about his life's work.
l did learn. however. that it takes months
and years to make a good topographer. be-

rect according to scale. and when you con-
slider that an inch on many maps represents
a mile on the ground. you can readily see
that you must be careful not TO put on too
much. yet you must not leave Off anything
that Is really Important.
In the few moments that Colonel Marshall
could spare / was told that civil engineering
has many subdivisions and each branch its
own problems. but that the Topographic arm
was one differing greatly from the other
branches Of the science OF engineering. be-
cause the engineer must Possess the art Of

FRANCE S SENE GALESE-

Germany and France had pretty complete
maps of enemy well as home country, on
which tentative campaigns had already been
Planned but with the advent of armies from
other countries each newcomer had TO study

For such a study the chief value of the
topographic map is that II reproduces in

tire surface OF the theatre of operations.
The long army fronts and their supporting
