Yesterday afternoon sat not mort

They Didn't Believe Il.

Two little girls went to church last
night and were quite attentive. They
tried hard to understand all that the
preacher said-small minds. drifting
into childish thoughts whenever too
many big words went over their heads.
They suddenly sat up straight how
ever when the preacher said most en-
pratically-"E Even the hairs in your
head are all numbered" One of them
nudged the other and said in loud
whisper-"1 don't believe it!' The
other clapped her hands to her head
as though she expected to catch some
one counting. 1t was some time be-
fore these youngsters settled back
again to calm. Every few moments
they looked at one another in amuse.

INDEPENDENCE IS

FEDERATED LABOR
The Program Aims to Bring
About a Brighter Life
and Greater Liberty"
NO SEPARATE PARTY

It's Power Will Not Hold Labor

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 21-.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 21--
A comprehensive reconstruction pro-
gram, designed to "bring to all peo-
pie greater hope for better day, a
brighter life, greater liberty and a
larger degree of happiness" was
adopted by the American Federation
of Labor at Thursdays session of it's
annual convention.
Radicals and conservatives united
in approving report embodying re-
constructive recommendation devils
ed by the federation's Executive
Council. The report tonight was
termed by labor leaders "a new dec
laration of independence for the
workers of America"
Developments in our social, indus
trial and political relations, by rea-
son of the necessities of war, have
been as varied in nature as they
have been grave in character,"'' said
the report. 'One of the most pro-
nounced and far-reaching results is
the realization of workers rights,
duties and responsibilities in the
structure of society, industry and
government.
"Conscious, as never heretofore, of
its power, labor no longer will rest
content under system which treats
workers as a commodity or article
Of commerce. Workers have reach
ed the status and have come to that
determination which demands treat
ment of equality with all other men
and women in modern society. They
now insist on full value and full COM
pensation for service rendered on a
basis that will enable all to enjoy the
higher things of life, rather than
merely exist near the line beyond
which we find human misery which
spells human bankruptcy.
"The great value of the report on
reconstruction, which received the
unanimous approval of the Execu-
tive Council, lies in it's compilation
in consecutive order of the funda-
mentally important and urgent sub
jects and relations to which organic
ed labor must apply itself diligently
and unswervingly if the workers are
to make permanent progress and gain
in the struggle between democracy
and autocracy in industrial life"

Prouty & Miller Saw Mill Totally Destroyed,
The Hard Work OF Fire Department
Saved The Lumber
FIRE ILLUMINATED SKY FOR MILES
CROWDS CAME FROM ALL DIRECTIONS
Fire Started at S.45 and Large Factory Building
Was in Ashes at 900, the Flames Making
Such Rapid Headway

NEWPORT, June 21-The saw
mill in the International Mill yard,
owned by Prouty G. Miller Lumber
Co., was totally destroyed by fire at
8 o'clock last night.
The building was two story struc-
ture 100x40 feet and was well equip
ped with latest modern machinery.
The loss is estimated at nearly
$4,000 with about $4,000 on prop
erty.
The mill employed about 25 men
and was one of the largest and best
lumber plants in northern Vermont.
The fire started about 8.45 and by
the time the alarm sounded the fac
tory was complete mass of flames
and beyond the control of the fire
department. There being so much
dust in a mill of this kind the fire
spread rapidly and burned so fiercely
that when the fire department arrived
the boarding was practically burned
through. F.
Three streams of water were turn
ed on the blaze and it was at first
thought the frame Of the building
would be saved, but owing to the size
Of the structure and there being only
three streams to play on it the build
ing was soon entirely consumed.

HAS PLUMLEY RESIGNED
Clement Says he Has Not Received
Tax Commissioners Resignation
But Rumor Points

MONTPELIER, June 21-Has
Charles Plumley resigned as tax com
missioner is the problem which is be-
ing propounded about the State
House.
At the governors Office this week
no statement could be obtained while
clcsso friends of Mr.. Plumley stated
he has taken no action. There is a
report that he resigned before he
went to Chicago this week, but his
being away, and the fact that the
executives office is non-committal on
the matter the general feeling is that
he has not resigned.
When conversed with, Governor P.
w. Clement said he had not received
any resignation from Mr.. Plumley.

AUTOS COLLIDE
Buick and Ford Cars Meet on Hill
Near ST. Johnsbury Center and
Badly Damaged

A Buick car and Ford Coupe col
lided on the road to Lyndonville yes
terday morning, on the hill near the
sugar place of George Morrill,, near
the railroad crossing beyond st.
Johnsbury Center.
The Ford car was badly damaged,
the front axle and hood receiving the
greatest injury. The. Buick was
somewhat crippled by the impact but
able to be brought home with it's own
power.
The Buick car was driven by Ed
ward French, and with him were Mrs.
Hoyt and Miss Phoebe Scott. The
Ford was driven by c. L. Mayhem of
Troy, N. Y. The force of the collision
was such as to overturn the lighter
car, the Buick remaining in the road.
The French car was running slow
ly and the Ford at high speed
They met at a blind place, just as
the road shortly turns down the hill
and neither driver could see the
other until it was too late to prevent
a collision.
Fortunately no one was injured.
The cars will have to go into the
shop for extensive repairs.
