Band of Birds Try to Re-
lease Imprisoned OriOle

When George F. Giddings, clerk of
the Public Utilities Commission, re
ceived a telephone message Friday
morning from Mrs. Giddings to the
effect that birds were making a great
"touse" over an apparently disable I
bird in a tree in their yard and he'd
better come home, he hustled to the
rescue.
1t proved that it was we'll that he
did, for he found a Baltimore oriole
securely fastened to a branch of the
tree by a strong linen thread, which
was wound several times around one
leg and caught around the limb. A
dozen or more birds of various spc-
cies, were chattering sympathy at the
top of their voices and were appar-
emily picking at and trying to release
the prisoner, but without avail.
Mr.. Giddings cut off the branch and
released the oriole, which, although
badly frightened and doing his best
to fight against further disaster, flew
away with song of thanks. The
other birds then Immediately dis
persed.

Associated Industries ~.
Described by Judge Cleayes At
Bangor Chamber of Commerce

The Bangor Commercial reports
that "one of the largest of the season

tended the semi-monthly luncheon and
meeting Thursday noon when the
speaker was the Hon. Benjamin F.
Cleaves of Augusta. executive secrc-
tary of the Associated Industries of
Maine, formerly chairman of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission
The speaker thanked the chamber
for affording him opportunity to pub
licly state some essential facts with
reference to the Associated Industries
of Maine"
After l had been connected with
the Public Utilities Commission for
perhaps three years of the six that |
served. ! realized that here in Maine
we were behind some of the other
states. If a particular railroad sought
to raise or change it's freight tariff, in
most states the larger manufacturers
had traffic organization, or the state
Chamber of Commerce had such an or
ganiZation, to which the commission
could go and ascertain quite readily
in the tariff would have upon the par
ucular businesses to be affected. Here
III Maine we had no such organization
except that connected with the paper
industry and the traffic organization
connected with the Portland Chamber
Of Commerce. The result was that
wherever such change was submitted
to the Public Utilities Commission by
a railroad, We were obliged to get in
touch with as many of the manufac-
turers to be affected as possible, and
give as near correct guess as we
might as to the effect of the proposed
chanse. Realizing that this situation
was not, to say the least, ideal, / sent
out i'm the month of April, 1920, letters
to about 200 manufacturers in the
State. suggesting that they form some
sort OF an association. and set up a
traffic organization, whose members
would be thoroughly familiar with the
business of the members and to which
organization we could apply and
quickly and accurately ascertain. at
least approximately the effect which
any proposed change in freight sched-
uies would have on the businesses in
volved. AT the time l wrote this LET
ter l did not know that practically
every state in the Union had a manu-
facturers' association, but did know
that some of the New England states
had such an organization.
Partly as result of that letter
and partly due to the fact that the
manufacturers themselves had been
for some time considering a similar
move, group of Maine manufacture
ers got together in the early part Of
November and had a preliminary meet
ing. At subsequent meetings they
sought and secured the advice of the
executive head of the Associated In
dustries of Massachusetts and .of the
executive secretary of the National In
dustrial Council, which is composed
of manufacturers organizations scat
tered all over the country. AS re-
suit OF these preliminary meetings a
voluntary association was formed in
the early days of December. 1920. A
committee to draft the constitution
and bylaws was chosen, and week
or two later reported, and the consti-
tuition was adopted.
In the early part of January I was
engaged as Executive Secretary, and

which was looked forward to

1928 persons paid $1,552, 422.15, ex
elusive of the war admissions tax to
see the Dempsey-Carpentier bout in

was paid by Richard on all but the
$3.50 seats. That is a $50 seat is
figured on the basis of S45.45,. a $40
seat on the basis of $685., a $50 seat
$27.27 and so on down to the $3.50
seats at face value.
Even figured on this basis the
totals arrived at in Mr.. Days Office
do not balance, but this is accounted
for by the fact that on the day of
the fight tickets of all prices were
sold below their face value. The
figures do not include 11,047 EN-
