the justice of the present seven-cent

The Remonstrants
Attorney Atwood, after a brief
opening in which he dwelt upon the
hardships that would be entailed up
on lumber owners and shippers OF
the Turner district, who have made
substantial purchases and even elab-
crate plans in anticipation Of the
roads continuance, called a string
of witnesses-all, as stated. being to
a greater or less degree dealers in
lumber.
w. II. Chadbourne Of Auburn, first
called, told of having paid for the
laying of siding just this side of
Turner village. It cost him S51O-
the road supervising the work, but
he paying the bills. He has at pre-
sent between 100 and 125 carloads Of
timber ready for shipment over the
division. II bought stumpage." said
he, "relying upon this method Of
~
ing in the expectation of using it for
years to COME
Mr.. Chadbourne is a bit Of hu-
morist, it seems; for. in the midst
OF a vigorous cross-e1amination by
Attorney Newell, he was asked if the
timber in this region has not been
pretty thoroughly cut. WELL" he
started to say. II heard about it's be-
ing pretty thoroughly cut 25 years
ago"
Never mind that. " cut in Attor-
ney Newell. II want to know about
conditions now"
II know it's growing: and its grow
ing nights and Sundays" And ev-
erybody laughed.
Questioned by Justice MorriH, Mr..
Chadbourne said that 40 or so of his
1o0 cars would be of sawed lumber;
the rest of cordwood. The lumber is
ready for shipment now; the cord
wod probably will be ready early IN
the winter.
P. E. Durgin. he said. has 100000
feet of lumber within three or four
miles Of the L. A. & w. tracks, rea-
dy for immediate shipment. F. A.
Kicker has about rs cords cut and
200 900 feet uncut. He admitted, in
cross-examination. that just now he
is rather holding onto his timber be-
cause the market is off"
William P. Darrell. who is associ-
ated in business with Charles Emer-
son, said he is the owner Of 1900
900 feet of lumber and he entered
his protest against discontinuance IT

Mr.. Willard. terminal representa-
tive Of j. B. Ham & Co, gave num-

ner line runs through a sparsely set
tied country: that. so far as passen-
ger revenue is concerned, the COM
pany Is getting even less at seven
cents per fare than it did in 1917 with
nve cents; that freight revenues, the
company believes. are also certain to
go down rather than up, for the sim
pie reason that the timber in this

REMONSTRANTS HEARD ONL. A. & ". CO.
PROPOSAL TO ABANDON ITS TURNER LINE
JUSTICE MORRILL, RESERVES DECISION

Lewiston. Me-. June 17-Justice
Morrill, Of the supreme court this
morning listened to the petition Ct
the Lewiston. Augusta and Water
vile Street Railway Company for
permission to discontinue its Turner
line, extending from Lake Grove IN
Auburn to Turner village. Its only
witness was General Manager
Sweeney, one Of the receivers, who
testified that the bare operating ex-
penses of this line for the current
year are estimated at more than
81 900 in excess Of the gross receipts
and that the line has so badly de-
Perforated that traffic upon it is &C
tually unsafe. The minimum cost of
placing it in proper condition. he
said, will be in excess Of $4,000 and
there is no such sum available.
Representatives Of the village Of
Turner opposed this petition. Testi-
mony was offered by a number Of
cumberland owners and shippers to
the effect that their business inter-
ests especially during the next few
months, will be seriously affected by
the discontinuance Of the line.
Afternoon Session
The afternoon session was taken
up with the arguments by Attorney
General Sturgis, who argued briefly
on the question of jurisdiction.
claiming that the jurisdiction rested
with the Public Utilities Commits
sion: by Attorney Newell for the
road. and by Attorney Atwood for
the town of Turner.
Judge Morrill, reserved his decision.

NO BREAD FOR Us TO
EAT is BAKERS CRY
Jewish Bosses Say Nothing Is
Left After $50 o Week
Workers Are Paid.

Many bakers after paying their en-
ployees the high wages which the
unions demand have no bread left for
themselves at the end Of the week"
This statement was made yesterday
by Morris Frankel, secretary Of the
Jewish Master Bakers Association, who
as spokesman for about 500 Of his craft
urged that Arthur Williams. Federal
Food Administrator, approve an increase
Of prices. with Mr.. williams and
Louis Marshall, who has agreed TO act
without compensation upon a committee
to determine q fair price for Jewish
bread, Mr.. Frankel pleaded to have the
authorities send expert accountants to
go over the books of the bakers, who
would stand all expense. He refused to
suggest any price himself. but at Mr..
Marshall's solicitation estimated that IL
cents a pound would be hardly enough.
The tale of union domination told by
the Jewish bakers made their hearers
gasp even in these days of industrial
turmoil. He pictured Jewish bakers,
who supply moro than 100000 inhabi-
tants Of the city with their daily bread,
as being SO cowed by walking delegates
that they dared not even argue with the
union.
notwithstanding that their best help
get $50 a week. he said every employee
in a Jewish baking establishment takes
home with him an average Of rs cents
worth OF bread every day. One union
rule Is that each regularly employed
man shall work not more than f,ve days
week. On the sixth day the baker
sends a substitute who must be employed
whether he knows his business or not.
Even IL he In shoemaker I can't
turn him away" explained Meyer Herbst
Of $40 East 10th street, one Of the COM
mittee TO attend the conference at the
Merchants Association rooms.
It was explained also that on the Jew
ish New Year the men must get two
holidays at full pay. but that instead
Of taking the time of they make a prac-
tice of working outside on the second
day at whatever wage they can get. The
employer, who must hire extra men TO
work on the second holiday. has to pay
for them at the rate Of - an hour, in
addition to paying his regular men who
are away. When Mr.. Marshall asked
what the employers had to say about
these things he was told that they had
nothing at ALL to say" as every shop
was thoroughly unlonized.
The bakers committee explained that
the present rate OF cents a pound for
their bread was running their business
and that they were continually being I'M
dersoid by immigrants who bake loaves
at home, with their wives as helpers. and
peddle them on the street, thus saving
store cost.
Mr.. Herbst said that to lower the
standard of product was impossible be-
cause the Jewish women all knew the
art of baking 30 well that they would
take no bread but the best.
