THOUSANDS IDLE IN BURLINGTON
Closing of Mills and Other Industries
Causes Bad Situation.

Burlington, Nov. Is About 225 peo-
pie will be thrown out Of work for the
next ten days with the closing again
of the Chase mill. No mill on Pine
street and the mill at Winooski, which
is operated by the Chase interests.
These mills, which were closed all last
week, opened Monday morning with
the intention of continuing work SO
long as there were orders TO keep the
workers busy. Supt. A. Il. Wade stated
Yesterday that il had been thought
best to close the mills again for the
present. and they were closed accord
ingly last night, and viii remain closed
until Monday, Nov. 90, when work viii
be resumed
With the constant laying off Of men
and women on account of lack OF work,
it is estimated that the number Of
people who have been thrown out Of
employment in Burlington alone dur
ing the last few weeks will mount Up
into the thousands Many OF these
are simply taking few days vacation,
and enjoying themselves with duck
hunting, trapping and other out of :
door oecupstions of like nature, with
the expectation that business eondi-
tions win improve and the mills re-
open in the near future. Many also
have gone TO work insother trades and
occupations at reduced wages which
win mean, undoubtedly, that a read
histment in the wage scale will take
place in the mills when they reopen
on full time again

ters of the Central Vermont railway,
all shop employees Of the road will be
laid off week, beginning Monday, and
resuming work at the end of that time

road finds itself and is done instead of
cutting down the working force as is
being done on many railroads all over
the country.
II il said to meet the approval of
the official of the railroad mems union
and it is thought also will be accepted
