The difficulties. of the situation

New German Plan
For Fighting Strikes

Stuttgart. Oct. 11-(By Associated
Press)-German industrial leaders
believe they have found an effective
weapon for fighting general strikes
in the Technische Nothilfe, known in
Germany and DenTsrk as the Red
Cross of industry" AS evidence they
point to the fact that the organiza-
ton crushed a general strike in the
state of Wucrttemberg in five days
when the state was .ncnaced with a
complete paralysis of all industrial
activity.
The Technischc Nothilfa was Or
gapized ut Stuttgart about year ago
and is operating under the direction
Of the minister OF the interior. In
normal times only Il skeleton office is
maintained which occupies itself
with prepai atoms for an emergency.

sub districts. each of which has @.

In Favor OF Proposed
BOStOn-Kennebec Service

/. Richmond, Me-, Oct. 27-About 40
of the representative business men of
Richmond We're present at the select
mems office Monday evening in re-
Spouse to n call for a meeting issued
by the Richmond Chamber of Com
n1erce. President Harry E. Houd-
Ilette presided and there were a num-
Der of speakers during the evening.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of considering the proposed
resumption of service by the Kenne-
bee and Boston boats and the meet
ing was enthusiastic.
j. w. Randlette who represented
the Chamber at the meeting at the
Augusta House on Friday night gave
an extended report of the doings of
the meeting there and described in
detail the plans for the organization
and operation Of Maine company to
purchase the boats and conduct the
line.
Everyone present seemed pleased at
the prospect of once more having
steamboat service on the kennebec
The matter of the possibility of
changing the location of the wharf
so that landing could be made at all
stages of the tide. thereby assuring
the town of daily service to and from
Boston, was also discussed. While
many were anxious that the old land
ing place be retained, all seemed of
the opinion that, rather than to get
but partial service. it would be
preferable to have the change made
to location nearer the ferry, where
there is sufficient depth of water for
the boat to land at any stage Of the
tide.

E. Il. Durand. II. c. Reed and George
A. Clouston were appointed COM
mittee to attend the meeting in Bath
on Thursday evening and the mem
bers of the Chamber expressed de-
sire to aid the project in any way
