1t was alleged that Arsenault had
tried for two and one-half hours by
threats and intimidation to induce

LANCER to leave the employ of the
Madison Woolen Co.
The charge against Smiley was that
he had called the employees Of the
Madison Wooden Co. "a dirty bunch
of rats" and had made other state
mentS about them.
The defense in both cases was a
general denial of the allegations.
Hon. William r. Pattangall of Au-
gusta and F.. W. Sawyer of North

Madison Wooden Co, and the law
firm of Merrill & Merrill of Skowhe-
gan was counsel for the defendants.

think the evidence warranted holding
him.

pressiVe service was held at Deering
Chapel Sunday afternoon when the
annual Baccalaureate address was
delivered by Ralph Fernald Lowe, A.

dWelt particularly on the dawn Of a
new era with its demand for leaders

must win the war and then we must
prepare for leadership in the world

uate of the school and drew many apt
illustrations from his knowledge of
former students and their later sue
cess in life.
A mixed quartet rendered most ex-
