ANOTHER REBELLION.

The decision of the leaders Of the
United Mine Workers of America to
call strike of the hituminous coal min
ers of the country on Saturday in def
ance of the demand of President Wilson
that they defer it is simply rebellion
by this section of organized labor
against the government of the country.
They brazenly defy the constituted au.
thority of the land for the prime pur.
pose of introducing in this country the
Russian soviet idea of mine ownership
and exploitation.
The situation may be succinctly stat
ed to be as follows:

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

Everyone realizes that good roads
are a valuable asset to any community
or state. They cheaper the cost of
hauling to markets, bring tourists who
spend money, furnish outlet for resi-
dents to widen their acquaintance with
the country and its beauties and make
town and county more intimately ac-
quainted with each other. The good
roads in this county have made avail
able to- hundreds of Village residents
the most attractive natural scenery
that a few years ago was locked in
the seclusion of distance. 1t would be
difficult to state the value of these
roads to people of this section.
Road enthusiasts, however, some
times overstate the value of good roads.
An instance is a recent statement of
H. Eltinge Ford, for twenty one years
member of the state highway de-
partment of the state of New York. In
part he said:
The highways have enhanced land
values wherever they have been built.
Farm-lands contiguous to improved
roads have been increased i'm value
from ten dollars an acre to thirty dol
lars an acre. In New York state, be
tween 1890 and 1900, the decrease in
| farm values was approximately eighty
million dollars. The United States cen
sus shows that between 1900 and 1910
| there was an increase along improved
roads in New York state of 1891, 75s,
600 when only $36,200000 had beer
spent for improvement. This pertains
only to rural districts. The Increase il
| towns is apparent as soon as highway
are improved. In some parts of West
| chester county, which is just north O
| New York city, land values along i'm
proved roads have gone up two hun
| dred per cent within a year after tn
! road was built.
1t is not accurate to credit improves
roads with the total increase in valu
of farm lands in New York. All farm
lands have increased in value great,
since 1890, the back farm as we'll a
the farm located on a good road. The,
have increased in Vermont where nue.
less money has been expended upol
roads.
More care should be exercised by me,
who wish to have the real value o
good roads appreciated by the public
If their true value is presented to tn
people it will make their appreciation
greater and more permanent. Any ma
who claims that an expenditure of $50
100000 on highways has increased tn
value of contiguous farms 1891, 90
weakens his argument for good road
because he is trying to have the pub
lie accept an exaggerated estimate G
their value.

look out. If you don't try to fiv your

have and avoid future danger as well.
Don't experiment-use the remedy Brat

WILL NOT KEEP MINES OPEN.
Coal Operators Willing to Reopen Ne
gotiations if Strike Is Called Of.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3O.-Thomas T.
Brewster, chairman of the scale com
Iaittee of the Mine Operators associa-
tion, last night reiterated that the
mine owners would make no attempt
to operate the mines after the strike
became effective, and reasserted that
the operators would reopen negotia-
tons with miners if the strike order
were rescinded pending settlement of
differences.
Mr.. Brewster declared the statement
issued by the miners at Indianapolis
was tmerely a reiteration of what they
have said. ("
"The operators continued Mr.
Brewster, twill resume negotiations
with the miners and submit all disa

continues, until April l, 1920
The existing scale of wages insures
miners from So to $l5 a day.
The existing working week consists
of eight hours day, six days in the
week, total of forty eight hours.
The United Mine Workers now re-
pudiate their contract.
They demand sixty per cent in
crease in pay.
They demand a six hour working day,
FIVE days a week, a total of thirty hours
q week.
They have refused to submit their
demands to arbitration at the request
of the President.
As President Wilson has declared, this
is "a fundamental attack. which is
wrong, both morally and legally, upon
the rights of society and upon the well
fare of our country" There can be nc
doubt where the majority of the Amer
lean people will stand in this crisis
| They will stand back of the President
and defend their government until the
head of radiealism raised by these over
paid, lawless and arrogant leaders OF
organized labor is crushed.

Not Hereditary.
(Rutland Herald

In speaking of the state football
championship, the Brattleboro Reform
er sporting editor infers that Rut-
lands champions are of the "hot air
variety. He goes on to say: And
don t forget, by the way, that Brattle-
boro has a very good reason to yell
championship as Brattleboro trimmed
Rutland for that honor in 1917 and
Rutland has never beaten Brattleboro
since or before, so why are we not
champions until we have been beaten? =
Poor reasoning, brother, poor reason
ing, We have always supposed that
the state championship was an annual
affair and not hereditary.

A Record Hunting Season.
Rutland News

News items from various parts of
Vermont should result in stimulating
to an unwonted degree the hunting sea
son in the state. A herd of Is deer is
reported seen in Rutland county and
bears are so numerous in certain parts
of Windham county that a hunt has
been organized in order to dispose of
them, as the animals have been making
serious depredations upon the farm
ers' sheep. Unless all signs fail, the
number of hunters licenses this season
will exceed all records.
