BOSTON, Sept. ia definite cam
paign to regain for the striking police
men the places now officially declared
to have been lost because of desertion
of duty was expected to be inaugurated
today The action was expected to de-
pend upon the result of a conference
between union labor leaders and Police
Commissioner Curtis. The commissioner
had consented to the meeting on an un-
official basis but the labor men said
they hoped to obtain from it an ex'
change of views which might be made
the basis of negotiations.

COUNTY WARDEN
GIVES WARNING
Wild Birds Must Not Be Killed o,
Possessed Even Though Doing
Damage to Property.
Editor of The Reformer:-

Editor of The Reformer:-
i Inquiry comes to the office of the couA-
ty fish and game warden as to what may
be done to protect chickens from bald
eagle.
The law of Vermont expressly states
that no wild birds can be killed or mo-
Tested except the following: English spar
row, startling, crow, hawk, crow black
bird, snow-owl, great horned owl, and king
fisher Certain other birds, classed as
game birds, may be taken during the
open season therefor, but all other birds
are protected by law at all times, and
anyone killing or possessing any protect
ed bird is liable to prosecution and a
fine.
Migratory birds also are protected by
United States law, and this law expressly
states that birds doing damage must not
be killed unless the secretary of agricul-
ture at Washington, ID. c., has issued a
permit to kill them
Under the Vermont law an Italian was
fined for shooting cedar wax-wings that
were eating his strawberries, and in i'm
posing the fine the Judge warned this man
that he must not kill any birds protected
by. law, even if they were damaging his
property.
The state pays nothing for damage done
to property by any wild bird, or wild an
imal except deer. 1t is apparently up tc
| the property owner to protect his proper
| ty the best he can without killing the
| birds
Also, it should be remembered that M
person, man, woman or child, can kill
take, or attempt to kill or take any wilt
animal or wild bird unless he or she ha
a hunting license, except that persor
can hunt on his own land without Ii
| Gems.
Don't kill or attempt to kill anything il
the line of wild birds or wild animal
until you are sure that you are within
the law.
4 Along the Connecticut river and othe
waters are various birds that people hav
been in the habit of shooting, but the
are all protected, except the kingfsher
by both state and federal laws, and ur
less such shooting is stopped prosecution
will follow.

reinstatement and recognition as a
union was in doubt today.
Immediate danger of a general strike
threatened by the Central Labor union
as its principal weapon in support of
the patrolmen appeared removed by the
disposition of labor leaders to move
slowly. The fact that the Central La
Dor union adjourned last night without
calling a meeting in advance of its reg
ular session next Sunday was accepted
as an indication that union leaders re-
garded the fight as long one in which
they would take action only after ma
ture consideration.
Restoration of the city to orderly
conditions has been followed BY the re-
moval of many of the barricades about
store windows and other property be
cause of the looting in the early days of
the strike. The number of state guards
men on patrol was lessened today but
all the troops are still held in the city
as emergency reserves.
The state troops are likely to be on
duty for some time as Commissioner
Curtis said he could not hope to build
up new police force in day and any
letting down in protective measures
would invite recurrence of lawless-
ness.
The development of the new police
force around the nucleus of regulars
who remained on duty began today witt
the appointment of 20 patrolmen. Tht
appointees, all war veterans, reported
for instruction in their duties and i
was said at police headquarters tha
they probably would be placed on pat
rol within a day or so.
The South Boston district, scene o
some serious rioting during the earl
days of the strike was disturbed agaii
this morning, when, after state guards
men were stoned from roof top, tn
soldiers fired several shots into the ali
Investigation failed to disclose person
responsible. Occupants of the uppe
floor of the house which on lowe
floor has as a tenant City Counsellor No
riarty said that footsteps were hear
on the roof short time before the a
tack.

Looks Like a Strike.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Presidcnt
Gompers of the American federation of
labor on his return here today abso-
lutely refused to make any comment on
the report that the strike of STEEL work
ers set for Sept. % had been postponed
or on the situation in the Boston police
strike. There was much evidence at
federation headquarters that the steel
strike had not been called off Labor
leaders pointed out that the representa-
tives of the unions invovled would meet
at Pittsburg on Wednesday and that
only by their action there could can
collation. of strike call result.

The text of Governor Coolidge s re-
ply yesterday to Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American federation of
labor, was as follows:
Boston, Sept IA.
Replying to your telegram, / have
already refused to remove the police
commissioner of Boston. | did not APP
point HIM He can assume no position
which the courts would uphold except
what the people have by authority of
their law vested in him. He speaks
only with their votes. The right of
the police of Boston to affiliate has al
ways been questioned, never granted, is
now prohibited.
The suggestion of President Wilson
to Washington does not apply to Bos-
ton. There the police have remained
on duty. Here the policemen's union
| left their duty, an action which Presi-
| dent Wilson characteriZeS as a crime
against civilization.
| Your assertion that the commissioner
was wrong cannot justify the wrong of
leaving the city unguarded. That fur
nished the opportunity; the criminal
element furnished the action. There is
no right to strike against the public
safety by anybody, anywhere, any
time.
You ask that the public safety again
be placed in the hands of these same
policemen while they continue in dis.
obedience to the laws of Massachusetts
and in their refusal to obey the orders
of the police department. Nineteer
: men have been tried and removed 9th
ers having abandoned their duty. Theil
places have under the law been declared
vacant on the opinion of the attorney
general.
/ can suggest no authority outsid
the courts to take further action.
r l wish to join and assist in taking
J. broad view of every situation. A grav
\ responsibility rests on all of us. Yo1
can depend on me to support you il
: every legal action and sound policy.
am equally determined to defend tn
J sovereignty of Massachusetts and t
maintain the authority and jurisdictio
over her public officers where it ha
been placed by the constitution an
laws of her people.

Governor of Massachusetts.

Will Maynard, Well known Denny
brook Man Writes Great Decrip-
tive Letter of His Battle in
Air With the Huns.

The following letter is from
w. r. Maynard, formerly of
this place. He has been with
the Goth Aero Squadron in
France. Maynard was in the
army at the time of the Span
ish- American war and his ex-
ceptional physical qualities en-
abled him even now, to take
his place beside the youngsters,
who were supposed to be the
only fit material for fliers.

ahead and above the leading
Hun. They gain rapidly on us
for we have not yet reached
our detectives and are loaded
down with bombs. We have
orders to bomb a town where
headquarters of the enemy are
at, so keep going ahead. Again
the archer on the ground gets
our range and one shell bursts
near me, so close that l almost
go overheard from the draft of
the explosion. l look at my
ship and see two big holes near
me. One close, 2 feet away.

planes make a short turn to
dodge the heavy shells from
the ground. This is the OPP
