Montpelier, July 6-Benjamin A. Sum
ner has brought petition in chancery
asking the court to cancel the order Of
the tax commissioner who recently re-
voked the license of the Central Power

the payment OF the SIS for the taxes.
The company has developed its hydro

lose considerable money unless that

100 locals distributed among forty
one States.
The constitution of the National
Federation of Federal Employees, and
the constitutions of all the local
unions prohibit strikes against the
United States Government, and also
prohibit the union from aiding in any
strike against the Government.
THE primary basis of the Borland
fight involved a labor problem-n-
creased hours without increased pay,
and a change of conditions of en-
ployment on the part of the en-
ployer without consulting the EN-
ploye.
THE American Federation OF La
Dor came TO the rescue of the Fed
eraI employees a the critical time and
gave the help needed to defeat the
Borland amendment. Out of this af-
filiation the cooperative association
of Federal employees became the
Federal Employees Union.

The National Federation OF Fed

and TO promote their interest gen

to aid the Government in establishing
