Commissioner Leavens Be-
lieves There Is Danger of
Wiping Out Deer
THIS YEARS KrG. OF
DEER AP. IT 1000
COMMISSIONS, 2 i'll Recon-
mend Cha in Law to
Leg Stature

State Fish and Game Commissioner
Linus Leavens stated to-day that the
deer killing during the past year and
in 1919 had been so heavy that he
should recommend to the Forthcoming
session of the Vermont legislature the
prevention of the slaughter of does.
This years killing of last week will
probably amount to approximately a.
900 deer, according to The estimate of
Commissioner Leavens this morning.
The reports actually in hand UP to
noon were 2,95l, as many as 35S hav-
ing been received this morning. As it
has been customary to receive reports
for sixteen days after the end of the
open season it is expected that the ad-
ditions during the next two weeks
will bring the total up to the number
killed last year, which was approx
matelv 1000.
Commissioner Leayens believes that
continued slaughter of does will re-
suit in the decimation of deer so that
the sport of deer hunting will eventu-
ally be wiped out. With such belief
he will make recommendation to the
legislature to refuse further to permit
the killing of does for period of
time

TO MAKE OPEN JOBS
Legislative Committee Investigating
Building Situation Received Evil
dence To-day.

New York, Dec. l5.--Letters show
ing that Walter Drew, counsel for the
National Erectors' association, at
tempted to prevent the George A.
Fuller Construction company from
erecting the Rhode Island hospital
trust building at Providence, as a
sci0sed shop" Job were offered in evil
dence to-day before the legislative
committee investigating the building
situation.
One of these letters was to Frank A.
Vanderlip, director of the Fuller com
pany, appealing to him to make it an
"open shop" job. Mr.. Drew contended
that the erection of this big job with
union iron workers would be detri-
mental to the open shop movement.
Paul Starrett, president of the Full
ler company, testified that Mr.. Drew's
efforts failed and his company com
pleted the job--a $3,l25,O00 project.
Figures showing the extra burden
of cost put on builders who were com
pelled to sublet their steel erection
work 20 members of the Iron League
of New York were produced by Mr..
Starrett.
These showed that the excess cost
amounted to more than so cents a
ton on the erection of the Pennsyl-
vania hotel-the largest hotel in the
world-an open shop job.
