From the Bruce Newsletter


VIII Meyers, Of Ladysmith, was a
guest at the John Stewart home last
Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Witter came
down from Ladysmith last Thursday
and spent the Fourth and the week end
with Mrs. s. S. Witter.
A petition was circulated" here last
Tuesday, and signed generally, asking
State Supt. Carey to appoint r. H.
Burns county superintendent to fill the
vacancy brought about by the death of
Supt. Rice. Mr.. Burns seems to be the
logical man from every standpoint. He
is a school man of splendid qualifica-
tons, and experienced as a county SUI
perintendent. His work as principal of
the county training school put him in
close touch with the schools of the
county, their needs and their resources.
The appointment should be made on the
basis of fitness, and Mr.. Burns certain
ly possesses fitness much superior to
what might reasonably be expected in
a tOuIty do lICW CillS. Ill tIIC Cdiii-
paign last spring, when Supt. Rice was
taken sick and unable to conduct a
campaign for reelection, Mr.. Burns
very generously ceased all campaign
work. 1t was an eloquent and delicate
tribute of a gentleman to a gentleman,
a friend to friend, though political
opponent. The schools of the county
need the service of such man, especial
ly when he is, at the same time one of
the most able and aggressive educators
of the state.

PICKING UP THAT PIN.

A story told of e. III. Hartman, who
died leaving an estate of $75,O0O0O0,
credits him with one day picking up
small steel letter clip dropped on the
floor by careless employee.
"I'd like to have as my annual in
come" said Mr.. Hartman, "the value
of material thrown away every year by
Indifferent workers in the offices and
factories of America. In a few years
I'd be the richest man in the world"

Johnson nor Heydler--wOuld say
when they will appoint this commit
tee nor the men who will compose it,
Actually, therefore, the situation is
entirely in Ban JOhnsOn'S hands He
may appoint committee Of the men
in his league With strongest leanings
toward Hermann. Should the two
men of the National League suggest
= man Johnson need not vote for him
In fact, he is not likely to. In this
way a tie can he maintained on tho
National Commission indefinitely with
the result that Hermann indefinitely
will remain the chairman.
The proposition OF a one man Ma
tionaI Commission, fOstered in the
National League by Harry Hemp
stead. former Giant president, and
backed in the American League by
Harry France Of the Boston Red Sox
never had a chance. This move was
aimed directly at .Bon Johnson, for
by removing him from baseball af-
fairs his opponents had hoped to
shear him of his great influence. The
American League voted in a body for
the retention of a; three man COM
mission, and also had the New York
and Cincinnati votes in the National
Lea que.
Giants Owners Support Hermann.
Oddly enough the new owners Of
the Giants promptly took revenge on
the rest Of the National League for
the anti=Cfiant legislation adopted at
its session last Wednesday. The own
ers threw their support to August
Hermann and the Old reEime. John
MCGraW of the Giants had a long
conference with Hermann last Tues
day, and it is believed that MCGraW
then pledged Garry his support

of affairs, as Hempstead, tNX
president, was the Nationa1#E
leader in the move for a news f63
baseball government. HsN
Another important phase of the
uution was the failure of G. Coniska5
the White Sox owner, to support Fra
nee. COmiSkey at the annual nleetx
ing of the American League Lass
month in Chicago We'd with, Frazee in
denouncing the Johnsonian methoda
Of last year. and Frazee considered
Com: slley's support his greatest as
set in the fight for reform in base
hall.
COmiskey was not present at yester-
days meeting, as he went to Miami,
Fla, to join his wife, who is i'll. How
ever Harry Gardiner, COmisl<ey's sec
rotary. said the club favored the re-
tention Of August Hermann as chair
man.
With the New York Giants and the
Chicago White SOX, the most inf1u
entail clubs in baseball, lined against
Hermann and Johnson, the REFORM
ers hoped for complete victory, but
when these clubs switched the en-.
tire move for a new system of base
ball government crumbled.
Actually the eight clubs were lined
up in u tie vote for and against Herr
mann. In the National League six
clubs favored a commission chairman
with no baseball affiliations, while two
clubs favored Hermann s retention.
In the American League the lineup
was just the reverse, six clubs favor
ing Hermann, whole two were op'
posed.
The exact way IN which the sixteen
clubs stood was as follows: National
League-BTok1yn, Boston. st. Louis,
Pittsburgh, Chicago and Phi1adel-
phia favored q chairman with nc
baseball Affiliations while New York
and Cincinnati favored Hermann.
American eague--NeW York, Chica-
go, Detroit, st. Louis, Cleveland and
Washington favored Hermann, while
Boston and Philadelphia favored tho
independent chairman.
Even the Washington club, of
which Griffith is part owner voted
with the Old Guard, as did the Yam
KEGS. With Comiskey and Frazee,
Griffith drew. up the attack on Ban
Johnson last summer. However,
Benjamin Minor has the power to
vote for the club and he has sup
ported Johnson right along.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Old Guard
still remains in complete control of
baseball affairs. The effort of the re-
form element in baseball to sweep
August Hermann and Ban Johnson
out Of power went down with a crash
at the joint conference of the Nation
al and American leagues at the Hotel

August Hermann still remains
chairman of the National Commission

he has been in the last decade. Since

Hermann was not exactly kept in

which he will in all probability re

blows over.
The final solution of the chairman

Of a committee of four men two from

MAY LOSE REPRESENTATIVE.
Out of the Fight for St. Georges Seat in
the Vermont House,

There is a possibility that the 20 odd
voters of the town Of ST. George may be
without a representative in the legisls-
ture before ,another week has passed
As a result of a hearing held before
the House committee on suffrage and
elections during the past two days in
the contest between Earl Ayers, who at
present occupies the seat for st. George,
and Nat Parcher, who claims the seat,
it is rumored that the committee will
rule that the vote was a tie and that
there was no election. The official re-
port Of the committee will not be an.
nounced until next week,
In the spirited contest which has tax
en- place before the committee, Warren
Austin of Burlington represented Aver,
while Representative Hopkins Of Bur
lington was the attorney for Parcher.
The question of election hinges upon
two ballots cast for Parcher and one for
Aver, which were ruled out Of the final
count as being defective, If these bal
lots are allowed, it is understood that
the vote will be tie. 1t was shown
during the course of the hearing that
L. Phillips and William Mckenzie, who
voted in the town of st. George, were
not residents of that town, and there
fore. had no right to vote.

STRIKE ORDER HAS
4 vide SCOPE
Union Bricklayers and Hosting Engi-
neers in Many Cities Are to Be
Called Out Next Monday.

New York, Feb. S.-All union brick
layers and hosting engineers employed
in various cities throughout the country
on contracts held by members of the
Building Trades Employers association
Of this city will be called out on sym
pathetic strike Monday morning in an
attempt to enforce the demands Of ear
penters employed by the association for
a dollar a day increase in wages, Will
liam L. Hutchinson, president of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, announced shortly after noon
to-day.
This action follows the declaration by
the employers association of a lockout,
effective at noon to-day, against all
bricklayers and hosting engineers who
have quit work in this city in sympathy
with the carpenters,
Employees of individual contractors,
not members of the association, were not
involved in the strike order, President
Hutchinson said, but government and
private contracts held by association
members in more than a score of cities
will be affected These include Bridge
port, New Haven Waterbury Hartford
Norwich, Conn, Boston, Lawrence, Mass
Providence, r. L., Camden, n. j., and
Washington, D. c.
No estimate of the number Of men
affected throughout the country could be
made at this time, Mr.. Hutchinson said,
but he expressed the opinion that at
least 25 per cent Of the union allied
tradesmen in and around New York
were employed by members Of the build
ers association.
Samuel B. Donnely, secretary Of the
employers association. declared that
committee had been appointed to discuss
the. carpenters grievances, but that the
men must first return to work before
any discussion could take place Presi-
dent Hutchinson asserted that the men
would not return to work until the dol.
lar a day increase was granted, although
he expressed Willingness to submit the
controversy to the United States labor
board for settlement

be maintained in the occupied regions.
The Versailles military council also sub.
mitted report as to the military forces
available for the disturbed regions of
Turkey.
eThe naval branch of the council pre-
sented recommendations formulated as
the result of consultations among the
British, Italian and American naval COM
manders, bearing mainly on the turning
over of the German submarines, block
ade restrictions and the surrender of the
German commercial feet. This fleet, it
is stated, is ready to be turned over, but
the allies thus far have not agreed upon
the allotment of the steamers among the
various allied nations nor upon the COM
pensation for the use of the vessels.
When an agreement is reached and the
United States receives its share of the
ships, they will be manned by the Amer
lean navy and fly the Stars and Stripes,
the initials of the relief council being
added to the flag.
The commission on blockade also pre-
sented a report fayoring the tightening
of the blockade restrictions in the Medi-
terranean and the Adriatic,
A tendency was manifested in some
military quarters TO impose further dras-
tic terms upon Germany when the ar
mistice was extended, but no decision
was reached to-day as to what measures
might be taken. After hearing the views
of the military representatives the coun-
ell Of the great powers decided to con-
tinue the discussion tomorrow, when the
decisions will be made without the pres
euce of these representatives.. This last
move was regarded in some quarters as
significant of the gradual change from
war conditions to those of normal peace
times.
After the session the following official
statement on the proceedings was is
sued:
"The president of the United States
of America, the prime minister and for
eign minister of the allied and associ-
ated powers the Japanese representa-
tives and the military representatives
of the supreme war council, assisted by
naval authorities and technical advisers,
met at the Quai d'Orsay between 2;30
and $3.50 p. m. They discussed the terms
of the extension of the armistice with
Germany.
"The president of the United States of
America and the representatives Of the
allied and associated powers will meet
tomorrow at 3 p. NJ. to continue this dis
cussion."
