INVESTIGATION Is NEEDED

investigation of all phases of the
meat business, from producer to con-
sumner was urged before the Kansas

an investigation was necessary if legis-
lation affecting the industry is to be
intelligent, and added:
Personally 1 have no objection to
any helpful legislation that may be
found necessary, but 1 do not believe
any such legislation can be granted
until we are furnished with a complete

VICTIM OF EMBoLISM.
G. G.. Cole of Bennington Expires Very
Suddenly.

BENNINGTON, Aug. 30.-Charles G.
Cole, IS, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
j. Cole, was found unconscious a short
distance from his home on North
street late Thursday night and died be-
fore medical assistance could be sum-
moned. The young man had left his
home but few minutes before he was
found by a neighbor and was at the
time apparently in perfect health. One
of the physicians summoned expressed
the opinion that death was due to
embolism.
The young man, at the time less than
II years of age, enlisted soon after the
declaration of war with Germany with
the second Z. s. cavalry. He was in
the service about six months and was
discharged because of disability, hav-
ing contracted infiammatory rheuma-
tism while his regiment was stationed
at Fort Ethan Allen.

COMMANDS Or PROFITEERS.

The average Vermonter will be some
what surprised over the food expenses
of the American peace commission in
Paris. In a detailed statement of the
expenses President Wilson makes these
two items: Subsistence, $144,914.0S;
food and hotel supplies, $l2S,S2S.10.
These total 273,742.1S. The item for sal
aries is $lO3, sl5.95. 1t is some mystery
to the uniformed how party earn
ing that sum as salaries can consume
nearly three times as much in subsis-
tchce food and hotel supplies. Either
they must have been big eaters or else
there are food profiteers in Paris.
These sums do not represent room
ing expenses nor all of their food ex-
penses, because a rental of $350,000 was
paid for the hotel, $50 ,345.33 wages to
hotel employees, $31 ,5S3.4S for hires and
laundry of hotel linens and $20,03S.7s
for fuel heat and compressed air. This
is total of $454, 966.59 hotel expenses
outside of the subsistence and food
| items given above.
The President in explaining the fig
ures says: 81 have no hesitation il
saying that, considering the magnitude
of the task, and the extent to which
the commission was obliged to rely OF
its own agencies, instead of upon those
available in normal times the expense!

Argentine Beef.
(Fitchburg Sentinel.)

Two American refrigerator ships ply
between North America and South
American ports, and frequently their
voyages, laden with frozen beef from
Argentina, have as their destination
ports in Europe.
President Wilson has taken action on
the decreasing meat supply in the Unit
ed States, and beef prices are nothing
less than alarming. The big five OF
American packers are strongly en-
tren ehed in South America, busily en-
gagged in sending beef to Europe.

half cent more a pound than to New

CoMMENDABLE FIRMNEss.

The federal government is begin
ming to show cOmmendable irmness in
dealing with laborers. In notice sent
Thursday night by Director General
Hines of the railroad administration
to the striking railroad men of Cali
fornia, Arizona and Nevada he said:
All striking employees who do not re-
port for duty on and after o'clock on
Saturday morning, Aug. 30, when and
as called for duty, will be regarded as
having terminated their employment
and their places will be filled.
Anyone who interferes with or i'm
pedes the possession, use, operation or
control of any railroad property, or rail
road under federal control, commits an
offense against the United States pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment, and
will be arrested and prosecuted accord
ingly. Any one who obstructs or at
tacks persons assisting or endeavoring
to assist in the possession, use, opera
ton, or control of any railroad under
federal control, will be guilty of the
offense described and will be dealt with
accordingly. Any one who obstructs
or retards the passage of the mail OF
any valuable vehicle or person carrying
the same likewise commits an offensp
against the United States punishable
by fine and imprisonment, and will be
arrested and prosecuted accordingly
! instructions have been issued to the
United States district attorneys and to

The commission to propose amend

is holding its first meeting today in
Montpelier. Vermont is likely to at
tract nation wide attention because of
the absence of rank radicalism in the
proposals of amendment. Now is the
big day of the radical, but Vermont
ers have acquired reputation for be-
ing sanely conservative and it is not
likely the present commission will en-
danger that reputation.
