MINERS IN CONVENTION.
Many Important Matters Are to Come
Up at Cleveland

Cleveland. o., Sept 0.-With some q,
600 delegates from the collieries Of the
United States and Canada gathered in
the armory of the Cleveland Grays, the
convention of the United
Mine Workers of America, the 25th con-
secutiye gathering of that organization,
was called to order at 10 o'clock this
morning. Events have conspired to make
it probably the most important in the
history of the United Mine Workers,
since, quite apart from the possibilities
of trouble contained in its almost GER
tain demands for higher wages and short
er hours, the miners of Great Britain are
looking to it for support and cooper
alton in the questions of the six-hour
day and the 30-hour week, and for the
naturalization of coal mines Both ar.
ticles of the British miners program fig
ure upon that Of the Cleveland conyen
tion. Favorable action, which is antiei-
pated. is expected to react sympatheti-
eally from the struggle across the At
lantic.
The convention is expected to last from
two to three weeks. To-day's sessions
will be devoted almost entirely to the
opening ceremonies, the work of organ
ization, and the presentation of the re-
ports of Acting President Lewis and of
Secretary. Treasurer William Green.

ALLIES TO ENTER SILEsIA.
To Settle Quarrels Between Germans

the transfer Of the territory in Poland
will be occupied soon by allied troops,
according to a statement made by Gen
Dupont to refugees and insurgents in the
region, it was learned to-day on semi

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE
IS AFFECTING BARRE
Until the Tide of "Empties" Rolls Back
from the West 1t Will Be Neces-
Sary to Load the Available
Cars to Capacity.

Despite the fact that a threatening
shortage was indicated last week, when
the supply of incoming empties" began
to shrink perceptibly, the real force of
what now amounts to an actual ear
famine is just beginning to be felt in
the Barre district. Reports to-day at
the Granite Manufacturers association
showed that granite manufacturers in
every corner of the district, as well as
Quarters, are greatly handicapped by
the failure of the car supply Produc-
tion is going at top speed, but the supply
of rolling stock is far and away too
small to relieve the congestion that in
variably follows disjointed shipping con
ditions.
The worst of the situation, according
to heavy shippers of Barre granite, lies
in the fact that there is very little prom
ise of immediate relief AS matter of
fact, conditions in the Barre district to-
day are in many ways more serious than
during the height of the war period,
when the priority board materially re-
duced the number of cars available for
the shipment of non-essentials.
Officials at the freight office said this
morning that the Barre district is short
200 cars. MOREOVER and shippers are
entitled to the small consolation the
statement affords the entire eastern
district, which includes Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts,
is coping with a shortage of 10000 cars
Railroad men ascribe the famine to the
fact that the largest wheat crop America
ever produced is being moved and that
all eastern accumulations of cars, espe-
eially box cars, are being hurried into
the West. Upon their return, laden with
grain, they will be routed for the most
part to Atlantic ports, and the Barre
district situation will be relieved later
only in proportion to the number of cars
routed to Boston. which is New Eng
lands principal distribution center for
"empties." Grain shipments utilize box
cars. Southern lumber shipments, the
railroad men say, are absorbing an un-
usually large number of fiat cars. To
emphasize the gravity of the situation
as il affects the granite industry, they
remind shippers that there has been alb
solutely no increase in box car equip
ment for several years, Notwithstanding
the fact that depreciation and destruc-
tion, coupled with extraordinary de-
mands, have greatly sccentuated the call
for rolling stock.
Quarters and manufacturers here
abouts are being urged to make the best
of bad situation. Light loading, they
are being reminded, is wasteful, while
intensive loading not only means conser-
vation, but encourages prompter service
on the part of the regional directors who
rule the distribution of cars. Low-side
coal cars are being used wherever pos
sible. but in its rosiest aspect the acute
scarcity of cars, coming as it does when
the granite industry is running at high
speed, is bound to have an extremely
depressing effect on production

cAILLAUX CASE UNCERTAIN.
There Are Various Rumors Anoat in
French Newspapers.

Paris. Sept. 9 tHavas) Various re-
ports were in circulation to-day regard
ing the case OF Joseph Caillaux, the for
mer premier, who has been under arrest
for more than a year on charges of hav-
ing had reasonable dealings with the
enemy. Several Of the newspapers re-
port that the commission Of inquiry Of
the high court, which has had the case
under long investigation, has decided
to issue decree sending the ex-premier
before the court, as was recommended
not long ago in report by the attor-
ney general.
Some of the journals add to this the
report that the charge Of treason against
NJ Caillaux is to be quashed, leaving the
only political charge still against him
the allegation of crime against the in
terror safety of the state. Certain of
the newspapers go so far as to claim
that this would be equivalent to valid
discharge, as the accusation would be
covered by the amnesty act, thus render
ing pleading useless.

for the Year-The Attendance Is
Reported to Be About the
Same as Last Year.

School days for many youngster be-
gan to-day with the opening of all the
Barre city schools this morning. Bells
that have been silent for more than two

message to the children in all sections of
the city. These summons were eagerly
accepted by some and reluctantly by
others. When Superintendent Carroll H.
White visited the numerous schools he
found that every teacher was present for
the first roll call Though this has oc-
Cured in the past, such was not the case
in 1917 and 1918.
The graded schools were stormed by
the youngsters, numbering in the vicin-
ity of lS00 or 1900 Although these
figures were not given by Superintendent
Whi~, they represent the approximate
attendance, or in his words, about the
same number as last year.
The student body at the high school
numbered close to 400, which does not
show much fuctustion from that of last
year, recorded as 465. One new course,
that Of domestic science, has been added
to the list Of studies at the school This
department is located in the basement
of the west wing of the old building and
is under the supervision OF Miss Marion

sidered as a motive.
