SWALLOWS A COMMON PIN
II. A. Mallory. Decorator. Has II Re
moved from Windpipc by Surgeons

Howard A. Mallory of % Nash place. a
decorator, who, according to the directory
is employed by +. d. Abernethy.
swallowed a common pin which he had in
his mouth while at work on interior
decorations at the NJ l.. Shuttleworth
home. 81 Main street, Saturday afternoon
shortly after 4:30 o'clock and was removed
to the Fanny Allen hospital. where Il very
delicate and difficult operation was per-
formed by Drs. l.. McCambr!dge and NJ.
C. Twtchel, specialists on ear, eye, nose
and throat troubles.
The queer accident happened, so the
Free Press was informed, as Mallory was
working on some curtain hanging and he
had several pins in his mouth. In some
unaccountable manner he swallowed one
and as 1t lodged in his windpipe he was
unable to remove it. DR.. McCambridge of
240 Maple street was summoned and after
an examination he ordered the patient
removed to the Fanny Allen hospital,
where X-ray photographs were taken to
show the location of the pin and DR..
Twitchell called in to assist in the opera
ton.
In the X-ray plates all that could be
seen of the pin was the head, the point
and body being imbedded in the throat.
The patient was given anesthetic
and after considerable time the pin
was removed by use of instruments. The
patient was removed Sunday morning
to his home, where he was reported as
resting comfortably.

STRIKE ILL.AOV|SEp
AND POORLY HANDLED
resident of Milk Chocolate Com
pany Says II Was Last Straw
in Series of Annoyances Which
Will Send Miller Candy Fac
tory Elsewhere

President John Walker OF the Vermont
fix Chocolate company arrived in Bur-
angton from Boston Saturday to take
ncnd in the settlement of the strike at
he company's plant in this city. He
declined to see a reporter Sunday evening.
mving he had nothing to sd to the
statements sent to the Free Press on
Saturday. In one of these statements
Mr.. Walker said he considered the strike
rery ill-advised and very poorly handled,
10Th by the employees and the representa-
ives of the company; that the price
,aid for wrapping cartons has always
)een more here than in Boston; that
no last advance should not have been
made. but having been made should be
lived up to through the hot weather, or
1ntil September !: that the company
Is not opposed to employees unions; that
the company can get along without
female help 1t being possible to nave
the package work done elsewhere; that
the company does not propose to employ
any ke-breakers. and that any en-
ployes who are willing to live up to the
rules will be welcomed back Monday
morning
In another statement Mr.. Walker says:
1.-THE strike was the last straw. as it
showed us perfectly plain that we would
be committing suicide from a financial
standpoint II we brought the Miller
Candy company to Burlington employ
ing 400 people, where there was a short
lge of help shortage Of housing, poor
streets and a city government whose
hands are practically tied by being
nearly equally divided, progressive and
reactionary and we would be caught
between the two fires" Mr.. Walker then
refers to the delay in providing an in
creased water supply, says that promised
road improvements have not been made,
declares that the company has decided
not to expand here until it can be done
with safety, and adds: I'VE have de-
cided to locate the Miller Candy factory
elsewhere, to complete the building we
now have, for we need the room, and to
end a location elsewhere for the three
story cocoa building which we were to
erect as soon as this plant is COM
pleted. We are now paying for labor an
equal cost with Boston, where 100 per
cent. of our help are efficient, or we
do not keep them. In Burlington about
% per cent. Of our help are efficient and
the other 40 per cent want more wages
than the efficient ones Work is the last
thing they want to do and fair return
Tor what they do is the last thing they
think off,
