intendent S. F. Parker of the traffic
department stated that fully two-thirds

condition Is likely to continue.
1t was stated that the strikers were
not making an attempt to stop service

where service was completely at a
standstill throughout the day were Bur-

NO TROUBLE IN MIDDLEBURY

ST. Adams NOT AFFECTED

ST. Adams. April 15.-St. Adams o-day
was one OF the few points in Vermont
having uninterrupted telephone service,
no action having been taken here by
the local operators toward joining the
strike In effect Tuesday morning which
virtually paralyzed the telephone system
In New England. Local hello" girls
while not having taken any formal
action in the matter seem to be of the
opinion that as the Franklin county
exchange is not organized there will be
no attempt made to get together and
join their brother and sister operators
to the south. 1t was thought by some
that the local operators might attempt
to hastily perfect an organization and
walk out as has been the case in many
exchanges In Vermont where the union
heretofore has not been recognized But
1t seems now that this will not be the
case here and central will still answer
when called.

BRATTLEBORO CRIPPLED

Brattlebboro. April 15.-The chief oper-
ator and emergency operator in the Brat
tleboro exchange of the New England
Telephone & Telegraph company remain
ed at their posts to-day, not having join
ed the union, but all the other operators
went on strike. 1t has been possible to
have emergency calls passed to-day as a
result of the two operators being on duty,
but the subscribers were notified as fast
as they called that there was no service
consequently the switchboard gradually
became quiet. Nearly 1000 subscribers are
affected here by the strike.

 ] would like Co call the attention of .hc people of Doaglas to a matter that think should interest every ono in town. and particularly those people who have children.
 The matter is thc behavior Of some of Che children Of the town. Within thc past week children have started fires which, had they not been seen in time. would moro than likely have caused serious damage Co property in the city. Tho fires were started deliberately and with intent and Che ones who did it were boys of am ago to know better.
 Besides this. In tho past year scy- cral hundred windows in the town have been broken malicIously by the children.
 or course. every parent has am idea that their child is am angel and that Che things charged here could not have been done by him. The fact remains. however, that the things stated have been done, and by Douglas children. It would seem Co me that if some of the parents would use tho third degree Co a ccr- tain extent on some of their or spring and find out to what extent they have been orring in this matter they would be rather surprised.
 After the truth is found out, if they would use a two-year-old club udiciously on Che guilty ones, they might save not only themselves but the children considerable trouble in the future CSigned
