The plane is piloted by Lieut..
Tourney with Lieut.. Morse as pas
senger.
The following telegram was receiv-
ed by Mr.. Stone today from Mineola,
l.. l., relative to the coming of the
airplane on Friday:
Arthur T. Stone,
Sec. Commercial Club,
st. Johnsbury, VT.
Have wired Representative Dale at
Washington that the airplane, piloted
by Lieut.. Tourney, with Lieut.. Morse
as passenger, left Hazlehurst Field
this morning for Lancaster, N. H. He
will make every effort to be in St.
Johnsbury on the afternoon of July 4.
(Signed) Miller.
Interest in the appearance of the
airplane over st. Johnsbury was very
keen today. 1t is felt sure that Lieut..
Tourney will give thrilling exhibit
tion of the use of the army plane. He
is one of the most expert fliers of the
Aviation service. 1t is believed that
the thousands who come to st. Johns
bury for the celebration will see aerial
stunts that will startle them. Lieut..
Tourney may give demonstration of
the spiral dips and loops which have
now become part of the flying feats
of we'll known aviators.
Plans for the great celebration are
about complete. The Caledonian
for the first time today presents the
complete organizations and floats en-
tered for the parade.
Parents are urged to keep their
children on the west side of Passump-
sic river while the bonfire is blazing
at midnight and while the fireworks
are beng displayed on Friday evening.
Both of these features will be handled
by experts and no children will be al
lowed in the immediate vicinity.
The Boy Scouts will gather up all
boxes and barrels and other combus-
tibles on Thursday morning if they
are left outside where they can be
found. All such material will be util
lied by the Boy Scouts for their big
bonfire on Harris hill at midnight.
The decorating of buildings con-
tinues at a rapid pace. Every build
ing on Railroad street has been dec
grated. They are as follows:
Calderwood Building.

GIVE HIM JUSTICE

All hail the dawn of new day break
ing,
When strong-armed nation shall
take away
The weary burden from backs that
are aching
With maximum labor and minimum
pay;
When no. man is honored who boards
his millions,
When no man feasts on anthoer's
toll,
And Gods poor suffering, starving
millions
Shall share his riches of sun and
soil.
Shame on the owner Of mines whose
And selfish measures have brought
him wealth,
While the ragged wretches who dig
his fuel
Are robbed Of comfort and hope and
health.
Shame on the ruler who rides in his
carriage
Bought with the labor of half-paid
men
Men who are shut out OF home and
marriage
And are herded like sheep in hovel
pen.
Let the clarion voice of the nation
wake him
TO broader visions and fairer play,
Or let the hand of just law shake
him
Till his ill-gained dollars shall roll
away;
Let no man dwell on a mountain Of
plunder,
Let no man suffer with want and
cold;
We want right living, not mere aims
giving,
We want just dividing of labor and
gold.

HOW PHONE GIRLS MADE
GOOD DURING WORLD WAR

Many fond parents would resent be-
ing told that they favored their boys
more than their girls but that is the
case. While the boy is encouraged to
speculate on what he is going to "be"
girl is allowed to drift into any occu-
patton that may turn up in her path.
Both parents and employer forget,
Or rather fail to realize, that she has
taken her place in the business world,
and that the time has passed when she
could be ignored and that the time has
come when it is just as necessary to
plan for her future as it is to look
ahead toward the achievements of the
youth.
There are many things a girl can do
better than men. Long ago she proved
beyond doubt that as telephone op.
rator she was far more Of a success
than a man. Coincident with her en-
ploy came new era of courtesy, eff
cheney, willingness, consideration, and
cooperation on the part Of the oper-
ator..
When General Pershing needed ex-
cellent operators for his fighting force
in France he did a thing never done
before incorporated women in
branch of the army. What those wo-
men telephone operators have done is
now matter Of history.
The very fact that so little is said
about the telephone girl and the serv-
ice she gives, night and day, to the ma
tion is tribute in itself to her attitude
and character. The telephone girl has
figured as heroine in thousands Of
newspaper articles and magazine sto-
ries.

cheer, you know her only by her voice,

ing our Civil war? The prohteer
who appeared during that war had
learned how to work" congress. In
peace he used the same methods to
get vast public concessions and so
laid the foundations for the special
privilege which now weighs so heav-
lily on us. For generation the
crooked politicians got themselves
elected by waving the "bloody shirt"
of sectional animosity.
Do we not see the same thing
operating today with twentieth CEN
tury speed? Instead of revival
of the democratic spirit, censorship,
denial of free speech and free as
semblage keep up. The worst ene-
mics of the people talk loudest Of
loyalty. Representative government
has temporarily broken down as a
safeguard to the people against
fraud, persecution and profteering
In place of moral restraints the war
has developed the feeling that "any-
thing is all right which you can get
away with"
There is no profit in war.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

TO those who are able to read
and who are not so filled with doubt
that they no longer trust words to
mean what they say, the statements
OF President Wilson in California
replying to- questions about the
League of Nations were not neces-
sary.
The President stated what most
persons have known from the first.
But there are those for whose
benefit it was well to repeat certain
truths about the League.
These truths are:
Great Britain could not .out-vote
the United States in the League:
Foreign governments could not
under the covenant order American
troops abroad;
The League would have a power
full influence toward restoration of
Shantung to China;
The United States would not be
obligated by Article X to aid Great
Britain in suppressing a revolt in
Ireland;
Under Article XI there would be
created new forum for questions
of self-determination.
The stock in trade of the extremist
League opponents of the Lodge-
Borah-Johnson type has been repe-
tition of charges which these state
ments completely refute, even as the
Covenant itself refutes them
Shantung, Ireland and to a lesser
degree India; Great Britain's six
votes (which are not six votes at
alD, American troops at the beck
and Call Of foreign governments-all
OF these things have been harped
upon and weather-beaten.
The case against the League of
Nations has been built upon misun-
derstanding and falsehood.
1T was we'll for the President to
make the California statement. II

the point.

League hang their pitiful case on

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, STRIKERS.

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, STRIKERS!
There's been strike on in New
Jersey, home state of the President
and scene of pages Of revolutionary
and colonial history.
It has been strike filled with
rough stuff.
They've broken windows and
burned buildings and smashed street
cars and rioted, 'neverything!
They've had the state troops out
to "Quell the disorder and restore
law and order!"
What bad union was this, to be so
rough and ugly and defiant of all the
traditions of good manners? Yes,
what union was it?
1t wasn't any union at all. It's
queer, but it's true. 1t wasn't a
union at all.
1t was THE PUBLIC.
1t was the people-the general run
of folks-fghting a bitter protest
against a new-fangled street car fare
that they didn't like.
1t was the public that staged this
strike, or protest, or whatever it
ought to be called.
1t was the same public that the
newspapers say rises up in right
eous indignation" when unions strike
for decent treatment and decent con-
dltions and fair wages.
Where do they get off at now
with that vaunted superiority and
blameless demeanor of the public?
A strike staged by THE PUBLIC
beats anything ever staged by any
union for downright brick-bat riot

sabotage!

to be paid and conditions of employ
ment for the workers. They must
accept them or quit.
Unorganized Workers.
Many "intellectuals" are regretting
that the President did not arrange
for the appointment of representa-
tives to the conference of unorganized
workers. They fear the non-union
men of the country will not be repre-
sented. Labor officials point out that
the unorganized will be well repre-
sented by Mr.. Gary and Mr.. Rookie
feller. In no other way could they
be represented, as the unorganized
worker is voiceless. He is an indi-
vidualist who cannot speak so the
world will hear. He is employed by
the autocrat in industry, who not
only fixes his wages and working con-
ditions but also speaks for him in
the world of men. And what the au-
tocrat thinks the non-union man
should say or do always is that which
the autocrat would say or do.
Much is therefore expected to come
out of the conference. The people
will have an opportunity to learn
where certain men stand and the rea-
son for their struggle to maintain au-
tocratic control Of industry. Whether
they change their opinions or not the
public will know who is responsible
for Industrial disputes. And the pub
lie also will know who is responsible
for the steel strike.

WORKS OF new MACHINE
EXPLICITLY EXPLAINED

The engineers had become tired Of
the boastful talk he heard from the
other engine drivers at his boarding
house. One: morning he began:
This morning I went over to see a
new machine we've got at our place,
and it's astonishing how it works."
"And how does it work ?" asked
one.
WELL was the reply. "by means of
a pedal attachment, fulcrumed
lever converts a certical reciprocating
motion into circular movement. The
principal part of the machine is a
huge disc that rotates in a vertical
plane. Power is applied through the
axis of the disc, and work is done on
the periphery. and the hardest steel,
by mere impact, may be reduced to
any shape"
What is this wonderful machine"
was asked.
"A grindstone," was the reply.

FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM:
HOW LIBERTY IS WON

Walter Hilton, editor Of the Wheel
ing Majority. W. must admit is some
philosopher and recently mad. the
following pertinent and timely re-
marks on Liberty in which he said.
Humanity moves forward and up
ward, from slavery to freedom: first
the poet sings of liberty and the art
ist paints pictures of her, then the
philosophers and scientists argue
about whether she is but myth, or
whether sho can be brought to a liv-
ing, breathing reality; finally the La
Dor movement comes along and ,brinss
liberty to life. We like to talk easily
in large terms Of liberty as something
afar off, and wonderful, like a sun
rise, but liberty.is really right beside
u.s. in our city. in our shops, waiting
for US to open our eyes and see her,
to- rouse our strength and intelligence
and take her. BY such homely and

LABOR AND STEEL.

The steel strike was not of Iabor's
making. Labor tried to the utmost
the peaceful ways of negotiation.
The rebuff at the hands of Steel
was stern and cold. Autocracy
smiled down in serene contempt and
said, "Begone!"
These are the things the workers
In the steel mills are fighting for:
Right of collective bargaining.
Reinstatement of men discharged
for union activities.
An eight-hour day.
One days rest in seven.
Abolition of the 24-hour shift.
Increase in wages sufficient to
guarantee American standards of liv-
ing.
Standard scale of wages in all
trades and classitications Of workers.
Double pay for all overtime, holi-
day and Sunday work.
Check-off system of collecting
union dues and assessments.
Principal of seniority to apply in
maintenance, reduction and increase
Of working forces.
Abolition of company unions.
Abolition of physical examination
of applicants for employment.
Every thoughtful American ought
to study these demands.
The list includes nothing that
every American does not cherish for
himself. 1t is a tabulation of SIM
PIE and fundamental rights.
These things are being demanded
by the steel workers in order that
there may be in the steel industry
something of freedom and light and
happiness.
These things are being demanded
because they are now denied.
The steel industry has been a bru
