NEARLY BILLION LOSS
nv METAL TRADES
Because of Idle Men and Machinery
Says Committee on Elimina-
tion of Waste.

New York, July 29.---Idle men and
machinery are causing loss of nearly
a billion dollars year in the metal
trades industry, says a report issued
Fbday by the committee of the Amer
lean engineering council on elimina-
tion of waste in industry. This esti-
mate does not include the value of
materials that would be utilized, if
productivity were increased
Instability of labor employment and
faulty management, the committee
said, are major causes of waste IN the
industry. which is the largest manu-
featuring industry in the United
States. both in number of employees
and value of products.
Ma anufacturers, the report adds,
'can undoubtedly hasten a return to
normal conditions by producing goods
as economically as possible SO as to
make selling prices low enough to at
tract buyers.
1T is evident that management of
labor must be elevated to higher
plane. Because labor is the major
factor in most if not all Industries, it
should be led by recognized intell-
gence rather than by radical agitators
on the one or by reactionaries on the
other"

| the Vermont National Guard which has
been formed in Barre during the last

recognition last night at the Legion
clubhouse on Church street when Ad-
iutant General H. T. johnson of the
state military department and Colonel
Il. r. Gibson, L. S. A., inspector in
structor Of the " \. G., were present
and looked over the company. The new
company is entitled M" and will be
assigned to the third battalion OF the
regiment
Adiutant General johnson and Col
onel Gibson went over the papers in
connection with the company, and Col
onel Gibson looked the men over, ask
ing questions of many of them as TO
thsr age, schooling, occupation, etc.
Afterwards the men were sworn in as
members of the National Guard.
There were 5S papers passed upon
last night, several of the active list of
applicants having been eliminated since
the initial examination because of va
rious reasons. 1t is probable that the
enlisted strength of the company will
be increased later on.
Adjutant General Johnson made
short remarks TO the men, declaring
that he was always glad to see young
men starting out in military training to
serve their country, that il was the
best thing a young man could do, He
referred to the splendid record of the
Vermont National Guard in the World
war and OF hopes for the development

Co. NJ who wished TO attend muster at
Camp Devens would be temporarily en-
rolled in one of the other two machine
gun companies and fitted out for the

get equipment for all in time and be-
cause of the short period in which to

TO Paris.

London. July 20 (By the Associated
Press Great Britain's note to France

patched last night and delivered in
Paris this morning. recapitulates the
circumstances which led to the present
situation and refutes the allegation
that Great Britain had set herself
against cAs French and was thereby
strengthening the German attitude
Officials describe the note as of a
friendly character, in marked con-
trsst to the attitude displayed in the
French note" to which il is reply
Great Britain, officials declared, is still
anxious to consider any means by
which the French can be met, but it is
emphasized that according to the
is no danger threatening the French
troops in Silesia which renders the
sending of reinforcements urgently nee
essary, as the French have claimed.
The note calls attention to what is
described as the extraordinary action
on the part Of France" in endeavoring
10 act independently of the supreme
council in insisting on the immediate
of troops. II points out that
this is an impossible basis upon which
to pursue any future policy together,
and that no good purpose would be
served by further discussions until
there was clear understanding Of
Frances intentions.
The note further expresses the view

vented the five people riding in the
Martin Erskine Buick touring car yes
terday afternoon from being injured
as the ear turned over on its side and
was quite badly damaged during the
severe thunderstorm at the corner of
South Main and Ayers streets. In the
car were Donald Erskine, the driver,
Earl Seaver, Misses Hazel, Doris and
Olive Erskine, all of whom were re-
turning from Goslant Mills after a
berry picking expedition. The car was
travelling at a good rate of speed, ac
eording to bystanders, due perhaps to
the heavy storm, and it was because of
the heavy downpour of rain and the
wet pavement that the car tipped over
As Erskine approached the granite arch
bridge on South Main street he sud
denly noticed that the road was par
italy closed to travel. instantly set
ting the brakes as he did So The speed
of the car, coupled with the wet pave
ment and skidding wheels, caused the
car TO turn at right angles with the
road in front of the Shadroui grocery
store and then start up Ayers street.
At the corner of the street the car
struck a sewer CRATE and then tipped
over on its side, breaking the wind
shield and damaging both mudguards.
The motor was still in motion and one
rear wheel, which came in contact with
the iron grating as it propelled, was
torn TO pieces before the
the motor could be stopped. The five
people got out none the worse for the
incident. The two young men in the
car righted it after which it was taken
to the Barre garage A new wheel was
put on and the party was able TO re-
sumo their homeward journey mucA
