BUT ONE VOTER LEFT
Somerset Loses Fred Johnson Who
Goes TO New York

Montpelier. Aug. 11.-Fred Cres-
sey OF Brattleboro, was in Mont
peier today and furnished interesting
data relative to the town of Somerset.
1t appears that April there were two
voting residents living in the town,
Burt Leonard and Fred Johnson, the
latter representative OF the town, and
since that time Mr.. Johnson has sold
his property at auction and gone back
TO New York to make his home. There
are some 80 men employed in the
town by a numbering company but
these are not voting residents.
Mr.. Johnson has represented Somer-
Sc. in the Legislature five times and
has held most Of the town offices for
many years. Mrs. Johnson died last
winter while they were at Montpelier.
She was Harrington girl from Sears
burg and Mr.. Johnson found Somerset
so lonesome without her that he decid-
ed to leave the state.

BLACK CAT KNITTERS
STRIKE FOR HIGHER PAY
Company Officials Say Demands Call
for Increases Of from is to 80
Per Cent.

The knitting department at the
Black Cat Textiles company under-
wear mill on Scott street is closed
through strike of the operatives EN-
ployed in the room. Twenty-Five
knitters are out. The other depart
ments at the plant are running but
unless the knitting machines are op-
Grating again in the near future it
will be necessary for the company to
close the mill.
For some time the knitting ma
chimes have been run on piece
schedule and the operatives when
they stated their grievances asked for
Increases ranging from 10 to 80 per
cent, according to the grade of yarn
used on the different machines. The
company officials state that they made
an offer OF increases of 10 and Is per
cent but the knitters refused to ac-
cept the offer and left the mill.
Since July the plant has been op-
Grated on a 50-hour week schedule, a
reduction of six and one-quarter
hours from the weekly schedule prey
iously in effect AT the time the
change in hours was made the EN-
ployes were given a uniform increase
in wages of IL 1-2 per cent, accord
ing to the statement of the company
officials.
The company officials regret that
the strike has taken place just at this
time They were prepared to run the
plant at 100 per cent capacity and
were in hopes to make up for the
slack weeks Immediately following
the end of the war. Judging from
their experience they do not feel that
they would be justified in granting
the demands of the knitters in full
but they are hoping that they will be
able to keep the mill running.
| A change has recently been made
at the factory. w. W. Burke has re-
signed as assistant superintendent
and the vacancy has been filled by
the promotion of j. p. Schramm. The
officials made a request of the strik-
ing knitters that they continue at
work for few weeks in order to as
certain what increase in wages would
be justified This request. the ofIici-
ais say, was rejected.
The striking knitters insist that
the wages they are demanding are no
more than are paid for similar work
in other towns and cities and the in
creased pay is necessitated by the
cost of living.

Manager Richmond Says Many Mat
ters Must be Adjusted Before
Cars viii Run Again

There is little hope for an early
adjustment of the strike on the Berk-
shire street railway system. When
Manager C. O. Richmond returned TO
Pittsfeld yesterday from New Haven
he stated that no definite time had
been fixed for the filing of a receiver
ship petition. 1t was announced
early in the week that some way out
OF the present troubles of the com
pany might be found through applica-
tion for receivership but just what
was expected no one seemed to know.
Manager Richmond stated yester-
day that there were many things to
be adjusted before the operation OF
trolley cars could be resumed. One
cause for delay in making the appli-
cation for the receiyership was re-
ported to be an effort to secure the
Massachusetts saving bank holders
of 81 100000 bonds, interest on which
has never been defaulted.
There are Indications that 1t WHY
be at least month before service
will be resumed, and then possibly
only on the paying lines. There are
indications that the officials of the
company are not worrying over the
tie-up of 14S miles of track. The
company has been losing 100000 a
year and there is an impression that
the employees have brought about a
condition that the company would be
pleased to see exist for the time be-

Several Measures Introduced in the
House Affecting Question Of
Living Costs

Washington, Aug. 12-President
Wilson has decided that the Secret
Service men of the Treasury Depart
ment should be used in running down
Iprofiteers. In letter approved by
the President Carter Glass, secre-
tary of the treasury, today asked
Speaker GiIlett for legislation which
will allow. the use of these detectives
"as soon as possible"
The Federal Trade Commission
sent a message to Congress saying
that it would require an appropria-
ton of 100000 in order to proceed
with the detection of profiteering.
This is the first of the estimates of
sums which the President said in his
message last week would be needed
by various departments for the task.
Acting Secretary Moyle OF the
Treasury submitted the estimate
from Victor Murdock of the commits
sion with the explanation that it was
for these purposes:

STORES P|LLAGED
IN PARIS DURING
FOOD R|OT|NG
Brawls Between Vendors and
Vigilance Committees
SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE
Committee Argues That Readiness of
Buyers to Pay Any Price Raises
the Prices

Paris, Aug 12-The opening of the
Central Markets early this morning
was the occasion for brawls between
vendors ard the Price Vigilance Com
mittee and would-be purchasers Fist
blows Snd battles in which vegetables
Iwere used as missiles were numerous.
During the fighting the problem Of
bringing down the cost of living was
vowed by some of the combatants, who
Rpillaged stores and stands and made
their escape with the stolen goods.
All the market stalls were hurriedly
closed, except those where meat is
sold. The vegetable vendors placed
their stocks which had escaped pill
age in storage. An understanding be-
tween the dealers and the Vigilance
Committee was reached at 10 o'clock
on the prices which the dealers might
charge in disposing Of their remain
ing stocks of butter, eggs and cheese.
The Montmartre pushcart men
struck this morning. Later they held
meeting of protest against the Vigil
ance Committee and then thronged
through the streets where their carts
were stationed upsetting the disp ay
of vegetables and fruits before the
shops and breaking windows. The
shopkeepers closed their places hur-
riedly-
Eight arrests were made in connect
ion with the disturbances in the Cen
trail Markets. The chief factor of the
trouble was an attempt by members of
the Vigilance Committee to prevent
foodstuffs, including fish, bought by
the big hotels aud restaurants, from
leaving the markets. The Vigilance
Committee argued that it was the
readiness of such buyers to pay any
price, however high. that was result
ing the raising OF all prices.

George M. Cohan Quits Friars and

New York, Aug. 13.-The actors
strike, which has already closed "a
dozen theatres in New York, last
night spread to Chicago, where the
players in two attractions walked out,
preventing their plays from opening.
This is believed to be the beginning
of an extension Of the strike to Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, and the remainder
of the country.
Increasing bitterness, with determi-
nation to fight to the end expressed
by both actors and managers, mark
ed the sixth day of the strike in New

With other managers committing
themselves with equal determination
and the Actors Equity Association
gaining both numbers and strength,
the beginning OF long struggle is
seen by most observers.
The Equity Association. as its first
move in the fight which 1t will make
against the law suits begun by the
managers on Monday, retained
George w Wickersham. former AT.
torney General as counsel for the as.
sociation and its members. The ag,

TOGET REPEAL OF
LIQUOR STATUTES
They Have Called Nationwide
Hao9t Sta, Conference
WEEK Keller sF 'SSs''s & lANTIc CITY
Secretary Baker Announces That
Actual DemobiIzation Of Army
VIII End in October

Atlantic City, Aug. 1S.-Believing
that revulsion of feeling against
prohibition can be concentrated for
the repeal of the liquor statutes, the
brewers OF the nation have called
week S. conference here beginning
September 2S.
Washington, Aug. 12,-Secresary
Baker announced today that the actu-
al demobilization of the army--that
is. all combatant units, would be prac
tically completed by the last Of Octo-
ber. He pointed out, however, that
after Rehabilitation there would re-
main many details involving the care
and disposition of surplus army prop
erty the completion OF permanent
records. and the care OF those in hos
pitals that would require for some
time the attention of many officers
and enlisted men. In the meantime,
the secretary added, the units of the
mobile army, would be busted with
plans for the future.
The announcement means that war.
time prohibition will remain in force
at least until the end of October, in-
stead of the end of September. 1t
will be noted that in his reference to
rehabilitation he refers specifically
to "combatant troops" Whether the
fact that certain noncombatant anits
are to be retained after the demcb-
ilization of the combat Troops means
that wartime prohibition will con-
tinue until the latter ale also de-
mobilized is question lot of people
in Washington are trying to answer
tonight. The secretary did not men
tion the prohibition situation in his
prepared interview. In any event the
end OF wartime prohibition cannot
come until after the President issues
his poace proclamation, and this, ia
turn. must await the ratification of
the Peace Treaty by the Senate.
