Good-Slzed Crowd in Attendance at
Hawks Hall Last Evening.

For an opening night the boys of the
local American Legion post had a
good-sized crowd in attendance at
their fair last evening The musical
program provided by members OF the
North Adams post was unusually
good, the solo and the song and dance
being particularly good features.
The boxing bout by Leo Grady OF
Pownal and Young Gold of Benning-
ton was creditable exhibit on. The
Bennington boy is not in the veter-
ans class but he occasionally manag-
ed to get inside Grady's guard. The
bout was clever and clean Consid-
cradle amusement was created when
one of the boxers landed a left
hook" on the jaw OF the third man in
the ring, James VIII tney jr
This evening the main feature of
the entertainment will be monologue

unmus.cal types of birds Through
picture books and hikes to woodland
spots they learn to distinguish one
kind of bird from another by the kind
of feathery clothes they wear, and
how also to tell them by their eggs,
their nests, and sometimes by their
chirpe.
The m gratory habits and the sing

tions, bringing renewed prospects that
the grave industrial crisis win be
averted. He announced in the House
of Commons tonight the will ngness
.of the government to participate in a
conference to discuss the question of
pumping before other matters were
considered
Informal conferences continued
throughout the evening, Moderates
like Mr.. Asqu tn, Lord Robert Cecil,
Arthur Henderson and John Robert
Clynes working hard in an endeayor
to induce the miners to relent on the
question of pumping and it was sup
posed that the whole question was
turning on this slender hope
Premier HoydGeorge had been alb.
sent during the latter hours Of the de-
bate on the situation, but returned to
the House Unexpectedly at II o'clock
and informed the members that the
government had agreed to course
which it is believed practically GER
tain the miners will accept-the call
ing of a conferences OF owners and
m ners to discuss with the govern
ment the difficulty relative to pumping
the mines before touching upon the
question OF wages and other matters
involved in the demands Of the men.
What steps exactly had led up to
this change of front are not reported
as yet Arthur Henderson who rose
to reply to the Premier, was clearly
Inon-plussed. He had, he said, to ex.
press regret that the Premier had not
gwen notice Of such an important
statement as Mr. Thomas, secretary
of the National Union of Railway Men
to whose suggestion it apparently was
due. and other leaders had gone home,
AS he had earlier explained, the
Miners Federation would have pre-
ferred to open the conference with
out conditions on c ther side but he
had not had an opportunity to consult
the federation since the afternoon;
therefore he cOu'd not assume respon-
sibility in the matter He thought the
only safe line would be for the Prime
minister to put his statement into a
letter to the officials for consideration
The organizations composing the
Triple Alliance held no further meet
ings tonight; they are apparently
! holding back untl tomorrow. The
Board of Trade issued an official re
port Of todays negotiations for the
enlightenment of the public. The re
port sets forth the arguments of both
sides and, concluding with a strong
lrepudiation of the accusat on that the
government is engaged in a general
attack on wages says:
Such charge is as monstrous
as it is unfounded, The govern
ment and community alike are
desirious that the best wages
should be paid n every indsutry
that such indsutry can afford.
The Council of the Independent La
Dor Party called upon all its members
to support the miners by every means
in their power, declaring that crisis
was due to IAN attempt on the part
of organized capital SIN to establish
the right of unlimited plunder and
degrade the standard of living which
