FAILURE TO GET RAISE
CAUSED CAR STRIKE
Binghamton, N. ", Street Car System
Was Completely Tied Up Com
men Council Had Refused
Company the Right to
Raise Fares.

Binghamton,f n. Y, March o.--Fail'
ure of the Binghamton common coun'
Gil last night to adopt an ordnance per-
mitting an increase in street car fares
to six cents, resulted in the employees
of the Binghamton Railway company
going on strike to-day. The system
was completely tied up.
The men explained their action was
not against the railway company
which had promised them raise in
salary if they got the increased fare
but against five aldermen who voted
against the ordnance two weeks ago
New ordinances intsnded as compromise
measures were introduced last night
and action was deferred until Friday
evening, but the men refused to await
this decision.
Twenty five thousand employees OF
johnson City and Endicott were
obliged to walk from two to ten miles

STREET CAR LINE is
NOT YET OPENED
But the Diggers Have Reached North
End of Barre and Traffic Will
Be Resumed Shortly.

The Barre & Montpelier Traction &
Power company had dug out its line
into both Barre and Montpelier early
this afternoon, and it was expected
that cars would be running in short
time, after having been tied up since
last Friday night by the snow and ice.
hard packed snow lay on bed of
frozen slush; and it was necessary to
resort to pick and shovel many times,
to enable the motor snowplow to get
along.
Supt Charles Durell and squad of
workmen kept up the work all day
yesterday, and at the end of the day
they had reached Putnam street in
Montpelier and Wiley street in Barre.
In the latter district the workmen to-
day found snowdrifts several feet deep
which resisted shoveling to an unusual
extent, Similar conditions were found
in Montpelier, particularly on Sem
mary hill, where resistance of four feet
of thick snow was encountered
Although the indications were that
interurban service would be resumed
to-m morrow after four days suspension,
1t will be a considerable time longer
before the lines of the company arc
completely freed from snow and zee.
The Seminary hill line in Montpelier
and the Washington street line in
Barre remain to be opened up after
the main line is cleared A good deal
Of digging viii have to be done on the
Washington street line, it is expected,
because vehicular traffic has caused the
snow TO be driven down against the
track The Washington street car.
which became marooned in Barre Sat-
urday night, still remains frozen in Mt
the corner of Main and Elm streets,
waiting for the relief expedition.
The volunteer shovel brigade was
again at work on Main street in Barre,
and the accumulation of snow was dis
appearing before their lusty swinging
of the shovel Many business men,
their clerks and Others started in the
work yesterday afternoon and made
considerable progress against the huge
piles of snow. Several teams and two
automobile trucks were in use yester-
day afternoon and as many teams were
furnished to-day. More of the same
activity will bring the street down to
its level in day or two.

cally, as il involves Barre people, is

ployed by large contractor. At pres
ent he is employed by the Barre Elec-
trio Co. The new owner has already

ances and materials and hopes TO war
rant the patronage of the people OF

business venture. no doubt his expert
ence in the wiring line and the fact

ton with the Barre Electric Co. be-
speak for him success in the enterprise.

new SYSTEM OF HANDLING
sheep, RIO 0AlDE FOREST

This year the Rio Grands national
forest will adopt the Bedding Out"
system for sheep. This u necessary.
mainly. for three reasons: (l) The
preservation Of public range against
depletion through misnse Of bsd-
grounds. (2) To increase the
weight Of lambs by increasing the
value Of forage plants. a. To
stamp out and prevent diseases
which are prevalent on often used
backgrounds
A great many people have . mis-
understanding Of the system or plan.
Bedding Out" 1t don't mean that
camp must be moved every day. but
that. properly arranged. camp will
not have to be moved at all during
the entire summer.
On all allotments II 10 planned to
have one or two central camps. &C.
cording to the size of the allotment,
which may consist Of tent or cabin
as the owner may choose. This
camp. since It will not have to b.
moved. can be equipped with stove.

to make 1t comfortable place to
live In. Herders can keep . change
Of dry clothing. books. writing ma
terial. and all personal supplies at
this camp; In fact It will bs home"
during the summer where the herder
will live and prepare meals without
having to move camp as formerly.
Following each sand of sheep
there will be bed and light tent
and one herder. This bed and tent
will be moved every day . short dis
tance by the camp tender to fresh
bed ground. thus insuring the big
sheep q clean place to sleep every
night and prevent the big bed
grounds which are so common. It
will be necessary to move this bed
and tent only short distance
from two to three hundred yards
will be sufficient; however. It may
be moved any distance desired.
You will readily note that whore
two men are In charge Of . band Of
