NEWPORT FIRE
Continued from page y

The fire ragged SO fiercely that for
a time it was uncertain how far it
would spread, but the fire department
handled the situation in good shape
and as there was no wind at the time,
1T was soon controlled OF the loss
would have been more serious. The
yard was packed full of piles of lum-
Der but none of them got on fire.
The firm was we'll pleased with q e
work of the fire department.
The firemen played streams y of
water on the machinery but how
much it was damaged is uncertain
The fire Illuminated tn sky for miles
around and drew crowds of people
who came in autos from all direc-
tions.
There was some confusion among
the members of the fire department
when the fire first started. The fire
alarm failed to work and only struck
three times and did not ring in any
box number. The alarm coming at
the time the curfew rang, many
thouSHI IL was IHe CuIIeW SouHu.
But the mill and engine whistles kept
blowing and the location was soon
discovered
The Prouty G. Miller firm has been
hard hit by serious fires, this being
the fourth since 1914. The Interna-
tional mill was burned July 9, 1914,
Prouty G. Miller saw mill was struck
by lightning and totally destroyed,
July 20, 1917, the G. H. Prouty resi-
dence was nearly ruined by fire Sept
ember Is, 1917.
Members of the firm stated a new
mill would be erected but much small
er in size as they have about million
and a half feet of lumber yet to saw.

Atwood Manufacturing Company.
Thousands of windows were Smashed
and fire developed in two or three of
the factory buildings.
The fremen quickly put out the
flames while the police charged the
throngs and were driven back. Then
the fremen turned the water upon
the crowds at different points with
the result that many of the firemen
were badly mauled and in some in
stances the crowd got possession of
the water lines and turned them upon
the police In the complete confus-
ion a second riot call was sounded
in Waterbury and the Home Guard
and the city guard quickly got to
their headquarters. The City Guard,
with eight machine guns, were hur-
ried over the Brooklyn span, and
they were being attacked when the
police reserves from surrounding
towns arrived and aided them in get
ting their guns set up.
There ensued more than an hour
of the most vigorous police action,
clubs resounding throughout the
troubled section and scores Of strik-
ers being knocked unconscious in
the scuffles. At least two hundred
strikers were arrested and one wo-
man, who is said by the police to have
melted the throngs to attack the
factories was also arrested. She was
questioned by the police in an eort
to make possible the arrest of all
leaders in the disorder.
All of the police, including the re-
serves, remained on duty after the
streets had been cleared at ten
o'clock and the Home Guard was
kept in readiness at the City Ar
mory.

RAILWAY Rates
TO BE ADVANCED
Public Treasury viii Be Relieved
of Burden of Meeting Deficits
in Earnings.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return of Roads
ArOuSes Interest at the Ma
tional Capital.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.

Washington.-The national poll or
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. OF
the editors giving it as their impartial
opinion that the public fayors an early
return of the railroads to their own
ers and only IL per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress of both pOlit-
ical parties propose to provide speed
lily for the legislation to make it pos
sible to restore the roads to private
management before the end of the
year.
In Congress there is general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned TO their owners:
l. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur.
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far is
about % per cent. as compared with
an increase in operating costs of from
SO to 90 per cent.
9 Greater naturalization of DubIic
control of transportation--a single
public control in the Federal Govern
ment in place of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
3. Legalization of consultations and
common use Of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
q. Assurance through an act of Con-
gress that in the future the Govern
ment will approve of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield a sufficient income
on capital to attract the $3.50 100000
to $1,000,000,000 of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion of rail-
road facilities.
How the States voted in the nation
al poll of editors on the question of
the return of the railroads to private
management is shown by the following
chart. That the railroad question is a
non-partisan issue is plain from a
study of the table:

OUTING OF SHOE DEALERS
The Association Meeting at Lake
Willoughby Was One of the Best
Ever Held

The fifth annual outing of the Ver-
mont Retail Shoe Dealers association
held Thursday at Lake Willoughby
was one of the most successful
outings ever held by the association.
Speakers for the event were l. H.
Morse, state organizer and chairman
of the New England organization
committee; Arthur d. Anderson of
Boston, editor of the Boot and Shoe
Record, and T. C. Mirkil of Philadel-
phia, secretary of the National Shoe
Retailers association. Through the
remarks of these men it was learned
that the price of leather is rapidly
advancing. This is due to the action
of foreign countries who send repre-
sentatives to purchase as much leath-
er as possible in the United States.
One Englishman, who purchased $751;
100000 worth of leather last Dec
ember and stored it in Boston, could
have sold it to an American firm for
$50,000,000 in March, but refused to
do so.
Since the last meeting OF the as
ISOLATION 80 new members have been
added and at the meeting five new
names were printed upon the list. AL
so several joined the national asso-
citation. Plans for the meeting net
year were discussed but briefly but in
that short space of time, it was learn
ed that Barre will be the likely To-
cality for the convention.
About so members of the associa-
ton enjoyed the days program.

WORK OF GRANTS PASS
MAN IS COMMENDED

Mrs. l.. l.. Sharp recently received
the following letter OF appreciation
from the flier with whom her son,
Edgar Schrimpf, worked for half a
year over on the western front:
New York Tribune, n. Y. City
Mrs. J.. l.. Sharp,
Grants Pass, Oregon.
Dear Mrs. Sharp:
Now that you have had the happi-
ness OF getting your son back safe
and sound. and of seeing how the
hard work and the hardships and
responsibilities OF army life have
probably helped and matured him, ]
think you ought to hear from some
one who knows. a few OF the good
things that marked his work.
Edgar Schrimpf was my crew chief
and ! was his pilot, and we made a
mighty satisfactory team for about
five months together at the front.
My life was in his hands and he
knew IT and constantly had II in his
mind. He lacked In tools, in equip
ment, in material. We had exeep-
tionally hard luck with the French
motors which we're furnished ns.
But In spite of such disadvantages
he made fine showing. and due to
him | was able TO do my share OF
work. Il was possible because. as
our adjutant and others often re-
marked. "Schrimpf never knew when
to quit work He worked early and
he worked late. And he thought and
planned, and worried, and struggled
with mechanical disadvantages al.
ways to keep the plane ION the line
and in perfect conditions. He did
other mems work often, 80 as to be
sure II was done right"
For all OF this he has my LASTING
gratitude and appreciation. And fol
all this you may be very proud o.
the record that he made. The spiri
that he showed Is the kind OF spiri
that won the war last year insteat
of later. Because OF his work, no
only flew with confidence and with
out worries about my machine, bu
was spurred on with the thought
'I've got to kill some Huns and d,
something worth while in order {.
deserve the services OF such a GREY
chief" And he also was an incen
tive to the men that worked abou
him.
The enlisted men of the air servic
got all of the hardships. all of tn
waits and delays, all the work, al
the disappointments. and none of tn
incentives glory, decorations, shoe
action, and promotion that came t
men in other branches of the service
That man could come throug
nearly two years of such treatmen
and such disappointments withou
loosing his cheerfulness and his goo
disposition. is wonderful. You ca
be proud of him because of the e,
periences which he has gone throug
and endured.
Your son gave the very highes
character of service in the army. H
did all that was expected OF him an
: a lot more. feel very lucky I
have been associated with him.
congratulate you on having such
son and will be interested to lear
: Of his further successes.
I Sincerely yours,
e DAVID w. HOWE.
