RESOLUTION OF
PROTEST ADOPTED
Northfeld Citizens Object to Proposed
Curtailment of Central Vermont
Train Service.

A mass meeting protesting against
proposed curtailment of train service
over the Central Vermont tracks was
held last evening in Northfeld. when
Secretary Moffitt of the board of trade
was present and spoke on the question
After some discussion a resolution
was adopted requesting the adoption of
the prewar schedule and protesting
against any further cuts in the train
service.
A committee was also appointed to
confer with the secretary of the board
of trade in Brattleboro as to further
arrangements with a view to prevent
ing the cut in service from going into
effect.
1t is the expectation that meetings
will be held at other points along the
line of the Central Vermont road to the
south and that similar committees will
be appointed.

WEATHER STILL
HOLDS UP FLIGHT
Heavy Snowstorm Prevents Rival Fly
ers from Starting Air Trip
Across Ocean.

ST. JOHNS, N F., April l6.--With a
heavy snowstorm raging here it was con
sidcred improbable that start would be
made today in the transatlantic flight.
Harry c. Hawker, the Australian pilot,
and Capt. Raynham, British flyer, are
both ready to make the big hop as
soon as conditions are favorable.
While Hawker chafed yesterday at the
clements which have held up his Sopwith
two-seater for FIVE successive days, Capt.
Raynham's hastily assembled Martinsyde
went up for trial flight, and upon its
seturn was pronounced ready for the long
trip.
Capt. Raynham, apparently convinced
that despite his late arrival here he would
start on even terms with Hawker, dis
cussed with the latter the question oi
which should carry sthe first official At
lantic aerial mail, which was turned ovel
to Hawker several days ago, when it ap
pcared certain that he would first at
tempt the flight
! 1t was virtually agreed that in the event
of simultaneous start the two aviators
would toss a coin to determine which
should carry the mail.

would not be propitious for flying for sew

D. Iatchis and two sons, Spero and Pc

thought better of their first decision
and are now on duty.
''Still there continues the policy of
refusal on the part of the leaders of
union telephone operators to adopt the
government S plan of procedure for
handling wage matters. Practically all
of New England has felt today the cf
feet of that refusal. No comment, no
urging, no protest against continuance
of such policy appears to avail, though
it is known, more clearly to telephone
workers than to others, that failure of
telephone service in emergencies is bit
terly severe on ones in need, to say
nothing of the harmful effect on all
business in all communities.
''This telephone strike is a strike
against New England because union
leaders object to procedure estab-
lished by department of the govern
ment for the orderly and expeditions
handling of questions as to wages.
There was no protest against that
established method of procedure that
was made in such way as to allow
even for a discussion of lit. No substi-
tute for that method had been suggest
ed yet the strike was ordered.
''The case still stands as one where
the postmaster general is told that he
must grant the maximum demands of a
working force in his department with
out discussion; otherwise New England
must be without telephone service
1.-The re-es4ablishment of the service
is in itself protest against such an
ultimatum The work of developing a
competent operating force is now being
carried on by the management of the
company with the aid and willing help
of very many people who are interested
in the restoration of vitally necessary
service that has been so wilfully inter
fered with.

Fully as many trout fishermen as
usual were out yesterday, the opening
day of the season, and reports indicate
that the total catch was up to the aver
age As is frequently the case this
time of year the trout themselves were
sluggish and required considerable
coaxing, but from the smaller streams
many good catches were made despite
this handicap. As a rule brooks are
lower than usual for this time of year,
but it is still too early for good fishing.
One of the best strings brought IN yes
terday was that caught by C. ]. Knapp

being of unusual size and in fine con-

German Peace Delegate Says Lorraine,
Too, Would Vote for Reunion.

BERNE. April 16.-If a referendum
were to be taken today in Aisaee and
Lorraine an immense majority of the
people would vote in favor of joining
France, says Eduard Bernstein, German
Social Democrat leader and member
of the German peace delegation, in an
article in the Neue Wiener Journal of
Vienna. Alsace-L Lorraine, he adds, could
not be an autonomous state because 1t
would then be the scene of endless po-
htieal and economic intrigue.
Herr Bernstein says that he would
like to see republican Germany depart
from the policies of the abolished en-
pire, adding:
Let us avoid unjust charges that
would for many years paralyze our eco
nomie life, but let US make reparatior
as we promised for the damage we have
done in the devastated countries. Lei
us refute unjust accusations made
against us, but let us, above all things
make but few protestations.

PRICE OF PORK
RISING RAPIDLY
Eggs Only So Cents Dozen and

Climbing the Ladder.

Although primitive methods have

on account of the strike. of telephone

eggs and -four have been forgotten long
since, and the prices of these commodi-
ties today are double what they were
five years ago.
Dairy butter which sold for from %
cents TO 80 cents a pound, or even less
in some instances, FIVE or six years ago
retail, while the creamery y-made product
soils at 20 to 75 cents a pound, the
| highest prices known IN many years.
The wholesale price has advanced in
| the same proportion. Those who have
| been told that there was an over-supply
of milk are wondering what has be-
come of the law of supply and de-
| mand.
Eggs again have made slight adj
vance, the price today being 50 to 50
cents a dozen. Groeers report larger
number of pullet eggs than usual at
| this season. Incubators and setting
hens are calling for a good stock of the
hen fruit and many people already have
begun to put them down for use in
case of shortage or possible higher
prices. The wholesale price varies from
AZ to As cents.
1t is practically impossible to get
-four in barrels and where it is obtain
able the cost is about 80 cents bar
rel more than the same brand in one

commodity now being approximately
$175 a bag, or about $l4 barrel
Meats remain on about the same
scale as for the past six months, with
the exception of pork, which is going

to a shortage.
