which was addressed to Congress as a
whole, individual congressman were del

The plan of the unions provides first
for determined fight in the House and
Senate. If defeated there, the contro-
versy will be taken direct to President
Wilson in the hope Of veto. The OPP
position Of the unions, as shown in the
memorial to Congress declaring the re-
drafted bin to be destructive of the
employees constitutional privileges and
liberties, is based chiefly on the method
proposed for handling wage and labor
disputes

"FLU" IN VERMONT sUBsIDING.
State Board of Health Thinks the Epi-
demic Has Passed Peak.

Burlington, Feb 20.-lnhuenza has
reached the peak of its devastating ca
reer in Vermont for this season, ac-
cording to present indications. DR.. c. F.
Dalton, secretary of the state board
of health. stated Yesterday that, while
there are still large number of cases
in the state, the reports which come in
to him from all parts of the state each
day, giving the record of new cases,
show that the tide of the epidemic,
if such it may be called, IS receding
rather than increasing.
The influenza has not been anywhere
near as fatal this winter as II was in
1918. There have not been a. many
cases and not so many have resulted
in death. As a whole. the eases have
been spread over wide territory in
Vermont, Rutland county being the
only one in the state which has had any
great number of cases Throughout
that county, nearly every town has had
its share of influenza cases. But con.
ditions are improving there now. The
situation in Groton, where there were
a large number OF cases, is also much
improved Many people are still III
there, but only four new cases were
reported from there yesterday.
DR.. Dalton calls attention to the fact
that the towns and cities which are the
hardest hit with the influenza this win.
ter are those which were not so badly
hit in 1918 This shows that when the
disease has gone the rounds in a place,
it is not 30 APT to get started there
again
