step the current from $500 to the A.
coo voltage capacity of the station and
awaited help There was no freight
ing apparatus on the premises other
than small hand extingushers.
When the fremen arrived the chemi-
cal was played against the fire while
the truck returned to the village for
more hose. 1t had been found that
the 1000 feet of lines carried was not
nearly enough to reach the fire from
the last hydrant on the village border,
in front of the Mitchell place. On the
return to the fire the Volunteer hose
cart was overturned on Seymour street,
near Myrick's market where the hose
was transferred to the truck. The de-
partment worked hard and in less than
an hour had cooled off the machinery
There could be no effort made to save
the building which had burned like tin
der and as soon as a stream was con
nected the three generators were spray
ed and the roof chopped up Assistant
chief N. J. Sanford directed the depart
ment's work.
The building was a single story
structure 40 X 20, of light board and
builders paper. The switchboard was
also total loss while the generators
can perhaps be repaired on the prem
ises as they are not damaged to the ex-
tent first believed. An expert from the
General Electric Company arrived Sat
urday evening and made a complete
survey. Officials of the Hortonta Com
pany immediately made plans for re-
building and already permanent
structure has been started. Tie new
station will be of brick, go 80 X 25
feet. with a roof of 2 inch plank sup
ported by steel girders Charles Malone
of Port Henry is in charge of the con-
struction Several improvements in
equipment are contemplated
The loss of current during the re-
pairs to the local plant will be sup
pled bv the Silver Lake and Dunmore
stations as the reservoirs at these
places are we'll filled at the present
time. While new switchboard can
not be obtained for several weeks, it is
expected to resume the manufacture
of current within a month The local
station had furnished electricity to
Mineville, N. Y, for use in the mines
and for lighting.

FIRE DESTROYS
HURLBURT HOME
Farmer Returning From Town Sees
House AbIaZe

AS Allison 7. Hurlburt came within
sight OF his home last Wednesday noon
on his return from Middlebury he saw
it enveloped in flames He had barely
time to offer a little assistance in saw
ing some of the furniture before the
progress OF the blaze had overridden
the valiant efforts of his neighbors who
shoulder to shoulder strove in the zero
weather to minimize the inevitable
loss. The house was burned to the
ground, with some of the household
goods and a large quantity of farm
products, including l75 bushels of DO
tatoes, that had been stored in the
cellar The estimated loss is at least
$4,000, of which less than a quarter is
covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Lena Burpee, who for the past year
and a half has acted as housekeeper
for Mr. Hurlburt. ShQ spread the
alarm by use of the telephone. In an
upper chamber the blaze first appeared,
due it is thought to a defect in the
chimney, When the neighbors began
to arrive, the removal of the furniture
was begun, and before the fire had
made too much headway all of it but
one bedroom suite was carried out.
AS there was no wind blowing the
barns were not endangered.
With the housekeeper in the house
at the time was her daughter Mrs.
Fred Heighter Mr. Hurlburt has one
SON. Walter who has been in the navy
since shortly after the armistice. He
paid a visit to his home shortly before
Christmas.

Employers TO
OPEN SHOP N
PRINT STRIKE?
Deadlock in typographical Trade
Sim OnIOwnefs Talk d
Resunlng. Y

The continued deadlock in the
strike Of the, tri-city printers has
brought some employers to the
point where the open shop is the
only way seen out Of the present
dimculty, 1t was stated this morn
ing.
There has been no open shop de-
claration. on the part OF the en-
ployers up to the present, although
Is of the concerns that agreed to
sign no wage contract that included
the 44-hour week are still holding
together. The 44-hour week is the
goal toward which the local union
and the international Topographic.
al union are striving.
The printers will not agree to
any contract which does not IN
clude the shorter week, it is said.
and If the agreement Of the en-
ployers to bar the 44-hour week is
upheld there will be no basis OF
agreement between them and the
journeymen.
The situation as it now stands
is the cause Of the belief of the en-
ployers that an open shop move
ment may have to be started, as it
was in st. Louis and Cedar Rap
ids.
: This morning James Weed, tri-
city secretary Of the typographical
union, gave assurance that the
journeymen would remain in the
fight for the short week. He de-
Glazed that the deadlock gave no
indication of a break.
