THREATEN TO BOYCOTT BRITISH
If Peace Settlement with Turkey Is
Not Satisfactory to Mussulmans

Delhi, India, Jan. S. British goods
will be boycotted if the peace settle
ment with Turkey is not satisfactory
TO Mussulmans, according to resolu-
tion adopted by Indian Moslems who
gathered here recently in the all-India
lshalifat conference.
BY another resolution it was pro-
posed to begin-a gradual cessation of
ro-operation with the government in
event of an unsatisfactory peace with
Turkey.
A joint meeting of Moslem and nom
Moslem representatives, of India was
held after the conference. 1t adopted a
resolution expressing the feeling that,
in view of Americas attitude Great
Britain would have a decisive voice in
the settlement of these terms with
Turkey, and that "the sacrifice in men
and money made by the Moslems and
their achievements made in the late
war entitle them to determining voice
IN this settlement"
1t was decided to send delegation
10 England and if necessary to the
United States to lay the true senti-
ments of Mussulmans before the Brit
sh and American governments.

BENNINGTON FACTORY CLOSED.
Because of Strike of winders and Spin
ner in the Plant.

Bennington, Jan. S.-The underwear
mill of dhe II. f. Bradford CO., Inc,
was closed down yesterday through a
strike of the winders and spinners.
With two departments out of commits
sion the company deemed it best to
suspend operation throughout the plant
until the trouble could be adjusted.
The strike was brought about
through the employment OF young
Syrian wom1n, Mary Alexander, in the
winding department. Some time ago
the Young woman worked at the mill
as a winder. but had left and 10 days
ago obtained employment in the main
sock department of the Black Cat Tex
tile company underwear mill. She did
not prove efficient as a nainsook work
er and left the Black Cat mill Tuesday.
As soon as she began working on
set of Jacks in the Bradford winding
room the spinners refused>to handle
any Of the bobbins that came from her
machine and the winders also quit. The
Black Cat mill has been declared to be
a non union shop because Of the strike
of Black Cat operatives which went
into effect last August and was never
settled.
The Bradford company since the first
Of the wear has been employing about
200 hands. On Monday Of this week il

Destination of the Buford
Is Still Not Disclosed by
u. S. Officials
MAY GO TO RIGA TO
DISCHARGE REDS
But United States Has Not
Completed Arrangements
for Their Land Travel

Washington. D. G., Jan. s. The
''soviet ark" Buford, with its cargo of
249 radical aliens, is about to enter the
kiel canal, according to official dis
patches received to-day. While still re-
fusing TO disclose the destination Of
the ship, officials said "a very good
guess might be yentured, since passage
through the canal has become known"
II was believed that the Buford
would go to Riga, port in Livonia, to
discharge its radicals for transporta-
tion across the country into soviet
Russia.
So far as has been made known, ne.
gotiations for the transportation Of
the radicals across one of the Baltic
provinces adjacent to Russia have not
been completed, and the government
win await the outcome of the Bu-
ford's voyage before deporting any
more radicals to Russia.

TRI-PARTITE CONTROL
OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY
Is Proposed by Glenn E. Plumb, Au-
thor of the Similar Plan for
the Railroads.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. s.--Tri-par-
tite control of American industry, in
which the public, capital and labor
would share equally, has been advanced
by Glenn f. Plumb, author of a similar
plan for railroads. Advanced copies Of
his proposal have been circulated
among government officials and pub
lie announcement Is expected soon,
Plumb, in presenting his plan, de-
clares that the existing industrial sys-
tenn is crashing around our ears" that
wages have no relation to the value of
service and that profits are wrong
fully exacted."
Reconstruction of the industrial sys-
tenn. the author Of the plan states, is
necessary to produce absolute equali-
ty between the three interests--the
public, capital and labor. To create
this, he adds, the grant of society Ell
ther is a privilege or a monopoly shall
be considered the investment of society
in the industry and the capital invest
ed and the labor exerted shall be
deemed the investments of the capital
and labor groups
Profits on the investment, the plans
provide, would be reaped by society in
the form of better and cheaper service,
by capital in granting protection of in
vestment and fair rate of return and
by labor in the shape of better wages
and share Of savings produced by la
Dor in production.
Under Plumb's plan industry would
be divided into four classes: Those in.
diyidualistic III ownership and opera
tion; those formerly individualistie but
which through organization now con-
cern only direction and supervision Of
production Of Others who have no i'm
terest in ownership; those based on
grants from society and railroads and
commercial telephone facilities.
s"The fundamental interest in these
the plan asserts, is the need
OF the society for the product of that
industry or the service which it rem
ders that calls the industry into be
ing. In the first two classes where
society had made no grant the free
of the law of supply and de-
mand protects the public interest

PROPOSE TO UNDERMINE
HIGH COST OF LYING
Four Big Railroad Brotherhoods Plan
to Enlarge in Cooperative Buying,
Production and Distribution.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. S.---Organized
railway employees have started on the
other end of the line in an effort to
solve the problem of the high cost Of
living. Unable to obtain relief through
additional wage increases which one Of
the chiefs said were invariably followed
by increases in living costs, the four
big railroad brotherhoods and the affili-
ated railway shop crafts have adopted
scheme TO escape the profits of the
middleman by system of co operative
buying, production and distribution of
the necessities of life.
Plans for the cooperative movement
were laid at the farmer-labor confer
ence at Chicago in November, and al
though they are yet in tentative
stage, definite course of action is ex-
pected to be adopted at second con-
ference called for February 1915 at
Chicago.
The proposal calls for an alliance be-
tween farmers and laborers to create
direct dealing between the farm pro
ducers and city consumers and between
city producers and farm consumers.
The plan is being worked out by the
All-American Farm Labor Cooperative
commission, which was formed after
the November meeting in Chicago, and
it includes the erection OF warehouses
as distributing centers and the organi-
zation of cooperative bank.
This latest move on the part of the
railway organizations was taken in
some quarters to indicate that the rail
way men would slacken their pressure
on the railroad administration for in
creased pay.

RUSSIAN SITUATION
NOT VERY PLEASING
And There are Few Signs Indicating
Any Immediate Improvement,
So London Hears.

London, Jan. S.--The situation in
Russia is about as bad as it could be,
from an -bolshevik point of view,
according to British war office reports,
and there are few signs indicating any
immediate Improvement. There are two
especially menacing developments. In
the first place General Denikine's army
has been cut in two through the Dol.
sheyik push to the sea at Taganrog,
and its hanks have been thrust back,
leaving a large gap. In addition comes
a claim from the boshevik of the cap
ture further east of the town of kras-
novodsk, on the Caspian sea, and while
this is not confirmed, it is generally ac-
cepted as true.
The capture Of this important port
of Krasnovodsk, it is pointed out, ere
ates the grave possibility that the reds
may overrun northern Persia and oc-
cupy Teheran, which would probably
mean the establishment of bolshevik
rule in Persia.
Baku, with its important oil sup
piles on the western coast OF the Las
plan, seems likely also to fall into boil
shevik hands, and its occupation would
provide base for further operations
against the rear of Denikine's hardr
pressed right wing.
If the bolsheyik reports are true,
General Denikine has suffered a con-
sirable disaster, for not only have the
reds severed all land communicat tion
between his left and right wings, but
they have captured large quantities of
war material, including much sent him
by the allies.
There is little hope held out here
that, deprived of these supplies, the
Denikine forces can hope to make re-
sistance that would prove effective
against the overwhelming red armies

CLING TO DETERMINATION
For Annexation of Fiume to Italy,
New Supply of Food Received.

Asserting the determination OF the
DAnnunzio adherents not to yield un-
til their cause had succeeded, Major
Giuriati said a trainload of food ar
rived at Fiume to-day. 1--WE have

Seek Injunction to Stop In
terference with "Non-In-
toxicating Malt Drinks
18TH AMENDMENT
IS NULL AND VOID"
Declare. Part Of Volstead
Act to Be Uncon-
stitutional

Providence, r. l., Jan. S.--An inlunc
tion to restrain federal officials il
Rhode Island from interfering, under
the national prohibition amendment
with ''the manufacture and sale oi
non Intoxicating malt beverages" was
asked in three bills of complaint filed
in the United States district court here
to-day.
The actions were brought by Michael
j. Lynch, in behalf of the james Han
ley Brewing company, Narragansett
Brewing company and Providence
Brewing company. United States At
torney Harvey A. Baker and Collector
'of Internal Revenue George +, O'Shau-
messy We're named as defendants.
The 18th amendment, the bills assert,
is wholly null and void" and title Ii
of the Volstead act for the enforcement
of constitutional prohibition, is held
to be unconstitutional and void and
beyond the power of the federal gov
ernment to enforce"
The bills attack the Volstead act
particularly in that it arbitrarily and
oppressingly defines and elassifes as
intoxicants, liquors which are not in
fact Intoxicating and because, in 50
doing, it is not appropriate legislation
to enforce the prohibition amendment,
the provisions of which "are expressly
confined and limited to intoxicating
liquors"
The plaintiffs ask for a restraining
order and preliminary injunction to be
during the hearing and pend.
ing a final decision of the cause, and.
then, for perpetual injunction.
1t is alleged that the malt liquors
by the plaintiff. although
more than a half Of one per
cent alcohol by volume, had been def
nitely determined and demonstrated by
experience and as a result of exhaus-
tive research and experiment to be
Notwithstanding, and that determi
nation by Congress TO the contrary Is
and would be erroneous and without
any basis in fact, and therefore unrea-
sonable, arbitrary and oppressive.
The 18th amendment is held to be
aull and void in that among other rea
sons, two-thirds OF the members OF
Congress did not deem any such amend
nent necessary and did not by rcsolu-
ion or otherwise declare that they
leemed the same necessary, as required
,y article V Of the constitution; that
he amendment is not an amendment
o the constitution within the true in
ent of article w; that the power to
tmend the constitution did not extend
o the exercise os ordinary legislative
powers regulating The conduct of life
" private individuals and that the
amendment is upon a subject not with
n any power granted to Congress or
prohibited to the states.

V.av DISCOVERED
DISCOVERED
THIS MORNING
It Is Thought That Cigar
cite Stub Thrown Among
Paper Started Blaze

A fire that threatened dire conse-
lquences started this morning in the
small room of the city hall just at the
head of the second flight of the main
entrance stairs and at the foot of the
large main balcony stairs of the opera
house, but was stopped before heavy
damage was done.
When the firemen were called there
at 9 o'clock this morning by telephone
they found flames raging under the
plaster and steel plate wall. In order
to get at the trouble in the room, axes
were used to cut away the plaster and
steel plating, while an extension ladder
was erected on the stairs to cut from
the. corridor side. Fighting against q
heavy volume of smoke, the firemeE
succeeded in emptying the contents OF
two hand chemicals and also found il
necessary to use the long line of hose
and contents of the chemical engine.
just when the fire started or how 4,
could not be determined, but
it was Chief John Heney's opinion that
some of the loose advertising and bill.
board sheets, which lay loosely on the
floor, had become ignited from a cigar
cite stub thrown carelessly down by
someone near the Dashboard of the room
and amongst the papers, communicat-
ing to the wall.
The fire was discovered by Manager
John Il. Hoban of the opera house,
who was in the ticket Office downstairs,
after George White of Montpelier had
notified him that the auditorium was
filled with smoke. Mr.. White, yiolmist
of the orchestra playing for a roper
toire company, lost a scarf last night
and came this morning at 9 o'clock TO
search the orchestra stall for it.
The chief damage sustained was the
large hole made in the wall over the
stairs, the partially burnt rafters and
the floor, which was hacked somewhat
by fremen in preventing the fire from
spreading.
The escape from serious fire loss, IL
not from complete destruction, Of the
building and contents is CON
sidered most fortunate. IL the flames
had become sufficiently famed to break
out Of the wall during the early hours
of the morning, the fire would have Sc
cured such q start that it might have
been impossible to save the building
Latterly the city has been carrying
its own insurance on the city hall, lay
ing by certain sum of money each
year for the purpose. That amount is
very small as yet, but is easily sufii
cient to cover the damage incurred.
The policy previously carried was can
celed about year ago.
