truck was called to the home of
Robert Mackinnon where a blaze had
started on the roof of the house. The
flames were Don extinguished, but
not before some damage had been
done to the house by water. The

that came out of the chimney and
was confined entirely to the roof ad-
jacent to the chimney.
The accident to Guy w. Hill, Esq,
occurred late in the afternoon just as

would be energetic incumbents of the
Office.
Some time ago the Office of the at
torney-general at Washington asked
MI. Billiard to name some men who
would be suitable for the position of
CHAIRMAN of a commission, and Mr..
Bullard took the names of four prom
inent men in Burlington who he
thought were competent to fill the
office. These were submitted to
Governor Clement, who declined to
AXE part in the selection of men for
the office. The movement died there.
On the former occasion Mr.. Bull
lard made up a list of four names.
These were sent to Washington and
from there were forwarded to Gov.
ernor Clement, who was asked to Sc
lect the man he wished for the Office.
The reply of the Governor was to The
effect that, while he was much inter
ested in any effort which would tend
to decrease the high cost of living,
the Vermont Legislature was not then
in session and he was not authorized
to appoint any officer, who would DO
equipped with the authority to fix
fair prices. His words were that he
did mot care to divide responsibility
with your department and prefer you

which you SO c%ourteously furnish
me-" That stopped progress toward
appointing anyone at that time.
Mr.. Billiard stated yesterday that
he was still in communication with
Washington in an attempt to get
what a fair price on sugar ought to
be in this district. He will be glad
to suggest the names of men who he
thinks are capable of filling the office
of fair price commissioner.
The office of the district attorney
in this district has already invcstigat-
ed many cases of alleged profteering
through the agent of the department
of justice and will continue to do sc
OF course the appointment of the fair
price commissioner will do much to
aid in this work. The price will be
fixed by him of not only sugar but
of clothing and all other kinds of
food. He will be backed up by the
United States Attorney-G Generals Of
flee in any cases of fragrant profiteer-
ing. There seems little doubt but
that the commissioner will be APP
pointed very soon.
In several other states a fair price
commissioner has been in office for
some time.

OF KANSAS BACK TO
WORK; SPEAKS HOTLY

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 4-Tele-
grams were sent to 33 local unions In
Kansas by President John l.. Lewis,
OF the United Mine Workers OF
America, today, ordering them to re-
turn to work and end the strike which
has been reported to international
headquarters Of the miners union.
According to reports received by
President Lewis, 3,43S miners were
on strike in 33 mines IN the Kansas
field. In his kilograms President
Lewis declared the strikes were H.
legal and unauthorized and in viola
ton of a contract between the United
Mine workers and the Southwestern
Coal Operators association. The con-
tract calls for adjudication by joint
board and that the men return to
work and take up their grievances in
the usual manner, Lewis said.
Denounces Kansas Miners Head
Lewis also sent telegram to
Alander Howat, president Of the Kan
sas miners, denouncing him for fos-
tering the strike trouble.
In his message Lewis declared the
president of the Kansas miners had
made no attempt to settle the strike
in that state, and he warned Howat
that he must comply with the laws Of
the union.
"a continuation of the mad course
you are pursuing In Kansas will bring
further contumely to your organiza-
ton and stamp you as a man devoid
Of principle and destitute of honor"
said Lewis in his message to Howat.
Production in the Indiana fields was
practically normal again today.
