Industrial Democracy.
(St. Adams Messenger. !

Down IN Bennington a mill has been
closed because the employees refused
to work with woman who had been
employed for short time in non
union shop. The strike follows imme
diately after the company had granted
an unsought for increase in wages of
l2l& per cent.
In this strike, then the issue is not
one of wages or physical working con
ditions. 1t is revolt, not against real
conditions, but against the presence OF
a woman who had worked in n non union
shop. This woman had not made good
in the non union shop, so she returned
to the mill at which she had been EN-
ployed.
Whereupon her former companions
struck, refused absolutely TO continue
their labors, and in so doing, naturally
threw the woman out of job. Here
is an instance of 200 hands collectively
seeking revenge upon n poor defense
less woman. That is all it amounts to
although the strikers themselves would
not accept such an explanation.
Is this the spirit of freedom of which
Vermont has so long boosted? Is this
an example of the kind of democracy
the workers say they want established
in industry? What kind of democracy
| is that? Ii is tyranny. pure and sim
| pie. The leadership i'll this latest OF
Bennington's labor troubles must be OF
a minus character.

NO LONGER LEADERS.

The letter of President Wilson to
the Democrats at the Jackson day din.
ncr removes the last leader in the
controversy over the ratification Of the
peace treaty, Senator Lodge already
having lost his influence. Each one
has lost his influence through inability
to recognize the demand for action on
this matter. The people do not want
the treaty held up for months and
then precipitated into political cam
paign but that apparently is what
each one of these former leaders de-
,ires. President Wilson calling for a
:" solemn referendum and Senator
Lodge declaring that he would well
come such a reference The only ex-
cuse for such delay and referendum
is the .stubbornness of tho two men
and the public does not enthuse over
stubbornness.
There is but one thing to be done
now Let Senator Underwood of Ala.
bama and the mild reservationists OF
the Republican side of the chamber
get together and arrange compromise
and ratify the treaty. President Low
ell in his letter TO Senator Walsh has
defined the concessions it would be
wise to make on Article 10 and there
is no reason why reasonable agree
mcnt cannot be reached and the ques
| ton settled.

The New York legislature has yield
cd to disgraceful attack of hysteria
in refusing seat to the five Socialist
members of the assembly. While few
people approve of their political prin-
ciples they are entitled to their politi-
cal rights. There is no evidence they
have violated the laws of their state
or country and this senseless persecu-
ton of them will only increase the
sympathy of their followers with them.

graceful mistake and the only thing

quicker than they committed it.

Filching vermont's Territory

As if not content with claiming the
the New Hampshire boundary line, one
Of the officials of that state seems to
be bent on annexing more Vermont
territory. At least he is claiming iuris-
dlction over an area in the vicinity of
Brattleboro which has always been Yer
mont territory but which became in
undated by reason of the setting back
OF the water of the Connecticut river
after the building of the Vernon dam.
The territory Is the so-called Hunt
meadow, which was clearly on the Yer
mont side of the interstate boundary
line prior to the building of the dam be-
cause the eastern line of the meadow
was the west bank of the river That
boundary has been fixed for more than
a century. Now comes the construction
Of dam which causes the water to set
back on this meadow; and, in conse-
quence, New Hampshire game warden
claims jurisdiction over the ice fishing
on the Hunt meadow, in effect thereby
annexing the Hunt meadow TO New
Hampshire. But the New Hampshire
warden ran up against Il snag imme-
diately in the person of game Warden
