SUDDEN RISE OF WATERS
OF THE CONNECTICUT

Brattleboro. April 1.-THE steady
downpour of rain beginning Monday
night and continuing until late yes
terday afternoon caused an unusual
response in the Connecticut river for
so short period, the water rising
about four feet at the Connecticut
River Power Co.'S dam at Vernon.
Last night about four feet of water
was running over the flashboards on
top of the dam which are three feet
high. making the water seven feet
above the crest of the dam The brooks
responded much more quickly and
were greatly settled. Many pulpwood
logs which We're held at the mouth OF
West River by boom were washed in
to the Connecticut. They are the prop
erty Of the Champlain Realty Co.,
which has a pulp mill on the Connec-
ticut two miles south of here, but as
the Realty company has hung its
boom across from the mill the logs
were lost. No estimate as to the guam
tity lost is available. The company
has $4,000 cords of pulp wood in West
River and along it's banks and it plans
to hang a boom across the Connecti-
cut

n. Y. TRAIN SERVICE
is MUCH IMPROVED
Rush of Students and Business
Men to Act as Strike Break
ers on Roads Entering City
Has Impressive Effect

New York, April 14.-Restoration of
passenger train service on the principal
railroads into New York made headway
tonight
The rush of volunteer students and
business men eager to substitute for the
strikers apparently has had an impressive
effect and Is believed by railroad officials
to be responsible for another meeting of
the rebellious workers in Jersey City
tonight. Their defiant attitude toward
the railroads was reported to have under
gone change following optimistic re-
ports of the movements of trains without
their assistance 1t was expected that to-
nights melting would find many advocates
of more conciliatory stand.
Ferry boats plying the Hudson river
from Manhattan to the Jersey terminals
were able to handle the heavy traffic
increased by the shut down of the Hudson
tubes. Extra boats have been pressed into
service.
Lehigh Valley railroad officials an
nounced tonight that through passenger
service from the Pennsylvania station is
being maintained without interference or
de.ay Word also was received to-day
from Wikes-Barre, Hazelton and Sayre,
Pa. that members of the four brother
hoods in these important division points.
the center Of the anthracite region, had
voted not to strike and to remain loyal
1 to the company.
| President L. e Loomis was inform
ed by Lehigh University to-day that
the student body, including members
of the graduating classes in all
branches of engineering work, had
offered their services for any emer-
| gency.
| Conditions in the Grand Contra
late to-day more nearly approached
normal than during any period of the
strike. The only train that had to be
annulled was the Springfield express
over the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Road. Recent delays in other
trains were cut from ten to fifteer
minutes.
More than 5000 students at Colum
bia University. it was announced to-
night "are really to act in any wa.
the railroad managers and brother
hood chiefs might determine" A larg'
mass meeting was held by the stu
dents to plan how best they coulC
aid in bringing food supplies int
New York.
A novelty in transportation occa
stoned by the strike was the dispatcl
by airplane to Jersey points to-day o

NOTHING DONE TO
,unoo
PREVENT h. c. |,
So Gompers Says, Adding That
Laws Made to Protect Masses
From Exploitation Have Beer
Turned Against Them

Cleveland, April H.-Samue Gompers
president Of the American Federation OF
Labor, here to attend a convention OF
cigar makers, to-day issued Statement
regarding the general industrial unrest
He said that nothing practical had been
done to prevent the high cost of living
and that laws made to protect the masses
from exploitation have been turned
against them.
He urged all workers to practice self
restraint. that rational demands OF
labor may be secured.
The statement follows
"The condition of the workers in the
United States has been tense since the
signing of the armistice. nat condition
has been aggravated by profiteers, by
number of employees and by the action
of national and State legislators in enact.
Ing, or attempting to enact legislation not
of a constructive but of a restrictive
character
Not a practical thing has beer
done to prevent the soaring of the
price of the necessities of life.
Laws made to protect the masses
Of the people from exploitation have
been turned against them while the
profiteers and exploters chuckle with
glee.
NO wonder then. that the work.
ers who did so much to win the war
are now 33 1-3 per cent worse off fl
nancially than before the war and are
dscontentei and resentful on account
of their present conditions and sur
roundirgs 1t requires no close social
or economic student to understand the
situation.
Unless wages are increased to meet the
increased cost of living, it is equal to a
reduction in wages and a corresponding
lowering Of the workers standards.
mo wonder then that we find workers,
non-members of organized workers and
even some who are union men, becoming
! impatient and disregarding the discip-
line usually practced in labor unions.
! II urge upon all the workers. in their
own interests to organize and practice
self-restraint, so that in an orderly and
rational manner the demands of labor may
be presented and secured. Little or noth-
Ing can be accomplished by wildcat strikes.
Employers. business men and men in
official and public life, whether in or out
Of the legislative or administrative bodies,
should a.so understand the acute situa-
ton and heed the normal demands made
by the organized labor movement. for the
rumblings are menacing."

TWO DIVORCES At SAME TIME
Prominent Swanton People Win Free
dom from Missing Spouses-
AIimony of $2O,OOO in One Case

st. Albans, April IAN unusual pro-
ceeding in Franklin county court this,
afternoon was the trial before Judge
Sherman r. Moulton of two divorce cases
at the same time.
The cases were Janey Turner Bell vs.
Horace Milton Bell and Stafford Dunbar
VS.. Olive Houghton Dunbar and divorces
were granted in both cases for adultery.
In the former case there was decree or
aimony as per stipulation, which means
that the petitioner will receive the
equivalent of 5000 to $4,000.
In the Dunbar case, the petitioner was
granted the care tnd custody OF the
minor children. The cases were OF much
interest on account of the prominence OF
the parties concerned. Captain Bell for
several years was connected with the
Robin Hood Ammunition company at
Swanton and recently had been in the
coal business there. He and his wife took
an active part in the social life of the
town. The same evidence taken in the
Bell case to-day was considered in the
Dunbar case. The evidence was circum-
tantial entirely, the witnesses testifying
to occasions when Mrs. Dunbar and
Captain Bell were seen together either
riding in a motor car or at church before
the opening Of service. There was also
circumstantial evidence tending to show
! the departure from the State OF Mrs
Dunbar about the time that Captain Bell
left the State and that they had not re-
turned since. The date assigned was
about February 27 or oS.
! +. l.. Webster of Swanton and a
Browey of Richford were counsel for the
petitioner in the Bell case and Warren
r. Austin of Burlington represented the
pettionee, who was not present In the
court E. A. Ayers of Swanton was coun
sci for the petitioner in the Dunbar case
but there was no appearance for the
! petitionee.

TEACHER LEFT $40
BUT NOT HER NAME

Montpelier, April A-Some woman in
the Vermont schools will be wondering
in months to come why she is not ac-
credited with the sum of $40 which she
paid towards the teachers retirement
fund, but il she will make her name
known to the secretary of the organiza-
tion, she will get due credit for 1t. 1t ap-
pears that one Saturday afternoon she
appeared at the State building desiring
to contribute that sum to the fund and
that owing TO the fact that she could not
find the person she wanted, she paid to
the Janitor the sum of money and he gave
her receipt for the money placing the
same in safe place until Monday morn
ing. when he turned it over to Miss Bertha
Buzzell, secretary Of the organization.
But when inquiry was made as to the
name of the woman. the janitor did not
have that. for the woman had gone away
without giving her name.

Montpelier April 13.--C. c. Pierce. who
is employed in the State library. found

break was imminent in eastern territory.
In Columbus, Ohio, 800 additional switch
men Joined the strikers ranks, but efforts
to adjust the differences between the rail-
roads and the strikers in that territory
have been undertaken by the Brotherhood
of Railroad Conductors In Toledo, strik-
ing switchmen rejected a proposition to
Join the yardmen's association and this
was believed to pave the way for the
opening OF peace overtures with the rail-
road companies there.
From the South, which has been but
little affected by the strike came reports
of bettered passenger service and re-
sumption of normal conditions.
Coincident with their predictions that
the strike fever was dying out railroad
brotherhood chiefs took a firm stand
against allowing their representatives to
participate in any conferences with gov
ernmental or railroad officials, at which
representatives of the newly formed yard
mems association were present.
"There can be no compromise with in
surgents." declared w. G. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. land only one settlement can be
hoped for and that in accordance with
law and order methods through author
lied committees of established organiza-
tions."
While many localities were beginning
to feel the effects of food and coal short
ages, railroad officials have been able
to date to prevent famine conditions
Railroad delivery OF mail. while greatly
delayed in some districts, is moving with

ments. heavily augmented as result o.

tions are reported from other sections
