BOARD OF CANCELLATION
HEAD MAKES STATEMENT

Boston, Feb. In a statement uf
the Lawrence strike tonight Com
missioner Charles G.. Wood of the
State Board of Cancellation and Ar
bitration said: There is not any
thing manifest in the effort to en-
force demands at Lawrence to indi-
cate its advantage or any good rea-
son for its continuance. So long as
the mills remain open they invite an
effort to close them. The attention Of
the striking empolyes is wholly TO-
cussed upon this htrike to close the
mills by force. re manufacturers
have substantially resisted the de-
monstration of force. While both
sides may be legally within their
rights the method is wasteful; nei-
Their side gained anything No help
full progress to the community can
be made until this un-Americau
warfare ceases. No authority ex-
lists in law to compel the mills to
close or the striking employees 10
work, but they can be compelled to
show cause why they persist in the
continuance of industrial disorder
and this action may be invoked If
the warfare continues in it's pres
ent aspect

Senator Clement of Waldo county az
peared before the committee on agr.:.
culture Wednesday afternoon in favor
Of new apple-packing law to conform
to the laws of other states. and the
measure was also favored by Hon. John
A. Roberts of Norway, the commission
err of agriculture.
Charles S. Towle of Winthrop oppo5-
ed the proposed law. saying that he saw
no need of d change.
I'VE have right here in Maine the
best apple-packing law in the country"
said Mr.. Towlc. And the apple did
not get it's right place until the present
law was passed. Under the present law
we have protection. while under the
proposed law we would not have that
protection. We have good law now
and I believe in letting well enough
alone
Commissioner Roberts said that if the
proposed law was not uniform law
to conform to the statutes in vogue m
other states he would ask that the pro-
posed law be changed as we'll as the
present law in some respects.
Commissioner Roberts suggested that
the bill be laid on the table for the pres.
ent to see what will be done by the Leg
islatures of other states
Mr.. Towle said that the large apple
dealers do not want a change in the
present law, and u. S. Clement of VIM

saw no advantage to be gained in
change in the present law

the proposed amendment to the Pri-
Vate and Special Laws of the State

of from $4,000 to $4,000 would be in

act was continued to next Wednes-

sion as to which kind is desirab
