When the result of the election becomes
official then we shall quickly call the

Lawrence Manufacturing Co. at Lowell

Mills Resume Operations at Reduced

BOSTON, Nov. 17.-Curtailment of

ago in New England textile industries
employing 100000 operatives has now
reached a point where the total output
is less than one-half that of one year

the canvass today of the great mill cen

In some instances the curtailment
runs as high as so per cent, a few mills
have shut down entirely. The majority
have adopted a working schedule of three
or four days u week. Mills that continue
in operation on full time with full crews
are exceptional.
Thus far only isolated announcements
of resumption of production have ap-
peared and these have been for the most
part in small mills where operatives have
been presented the choice of n 10 per cent
wage cut or a shut down. the manufacture

selves unable to continue business under
the former wage scale.
In only one of the big textile mills now

there been a wage cut. The mill recent
ly resumed production after shut down

SHOVELS OUT OF
SUMMER QUARTERS
Two Inches of Snow and More Than Inch
of Rain Fell During Night - Makes
Operation of Cars Difficult,

Snow shovels were brought from their
summer quarters this morning to remove
from the sidewalks the first snow of the
season. Brattleboro having been visited
during the night by a sleet and snow
storm which covered the ground. two
inches of snow with a precipitation of
1.04 inch having fallen, according to +.
4. Faughan's standard recording instru-
ments this morning The excessive pre-
cipitation indicates that had it all been
snow the fall would have been unusually
heavy. The first snowfall in 1919. ac-
cording to Mr.. Vaughans record was on
Dec. 6. when four and a half inches were
reported.
The snow turned to rain early this
forenoon, and rain has continued to fall
steadily since. although with little indi-
cation of removing the white covering.
Operation of the street cars was made
difficult by the snow and rain and there
was more or less delay. but traffic was
not suspended as has been necessary in
some places in neighbOring states.

HYDRANTS OUGHT
TO Be GIVEN TEST
Low Pressure at Blaze on
Cedar Street Should
Be Warming
PLEASANT VALLEY
SUPPLY AMPLE
Cedar Street Hydrant Has Only Four
Inch Connection, but Serviceable
Stream Should Be Available from the
Hydrant on Myrtle Street.

The statement in yesterdays Reformer
by Fire Chief Frank Streeter to the eff
feet that the low water pressure at yes
terday mornings fire on Cedar street
was due to low water in Pleasant Val
ley reservoir" brings a rejOinder from c.
B. Crowell, superintendent of the Brat
tIeboro Water Works Co. Mr.. CrOwell
is authority for the positive statement
that there is no dearth of water in the
Pleasant Valley reservoir, and says fur
thermore that this reservoir is so much
higher than the level of Brattleboro viii
lage that there could be a variation of
fully 20 feet in the height of water with
out noticeably affecting the pressure at
the hydrantS in town.
As TO the two hydrantS used in fight
ing the Stark fire Mr.. CrOwelI says the
one on Cedar street has only four
inch pipe connecting it and for that rea-
son the village has never been charged
for il. The Myrtle street hydrant, he
saws, has a Six-inch lead and ought to
furnish Il Seryiceable stream for one line
of hose at least.
blaze said this morning they were not
surprised that the stream from the Ce-
dar street hydrant was not stronger IN
view OF the size of the pipe connecting
it and the length of hose laid, but they
could not understand why the line from
the Myrtle street hydrant was not more
effieacious Neither line, one fire depart
ment official said this morning, furnished
a stream of sufficient force to tear states
from the roof, and if there had been oc-
casion to try to save adjoining buildings
both streams would have been practically
useless.
In view of the apparently low water
pressure at the FIRE in question there
seems to be considerable sentiment in ia
vor of a general and thorough test of all
hydrauts in the village. With a suth-
Gent supply of water in the Pleasant
Valley reservoir there is no reason why
the pressure at all outlets should not be
ample for fire fighting purposes. and II
for any special reason it IS not, the feel
ing seems to be that the fire department
should find it out Immediately.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE committee on
claims and grievances of the National
Grange sat as a court today in William
Bouck, master of the Washington state
Grange on trial for acts alleged to be in
violation of his obligation to the organi-
zation and detrimental to it's interests.
The specifications of the complaints
were not made public, but it was author
itatively stated that they had to do with
political activity in Grange circles. Mr..
Bouck, leader of the radical wing in the
Grange organization, was one of the Drin-
cipal figures in the Palmer Labor party
in the West during the recent campaign
and was its candidate for congress in the
second Washington district, being de
feated
The trial, according to a spokesman
for the Grange administration did not
represent a testing OF the forces OF con-
servatism and radicalism in the Grange
although broadly these factions were
aligned on either side of the controversy.
The committee which sat as the court,
with Orlando l.. Martin, master of the
Vermont State Grange presiding, con
sisted of six members. Under the organ
ization rules its findings are subject to
ratification by the voting members of the
National Grange who can, accept, reject
or demand. Ii the charges are sustained
the committee can recommend expulsion
from the farmers fraternity.
