what | understand to be the situa-
ton. During the latter part of the
year 1920 or during the early part of
the year 1921, dispute arose be-
tween the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Ry. and its employees re-
specting a proposed reduction in
wages, and this dispute was one over
which the Railroad Labor Board has
jurisdiction under the law and ac-
tually assumed that Jurisdiction. My
view of the Transportation Act is
that under such circumstances the
railroads must continue to pay the
= hbEshed wages at the time the
dispute arose until the labor board
decides the dispute. | have been
advised that the Atlanta, Birming-
: ham and Atlantic Ry. claim that it
had not the money to pay these
wages; and Of course if it had not
the money it could not pay
You state that you made PROPOSE
ton TO the Manager or receiver as
follows:
Pay the wages as designated by
the court in U. S. cucrrncy and give
receivers certificates for the differ
ence between that amount and the
amount decided by the board until
such time as question of readjust-
ment OF wages should take place Ell
ther by the board or through con
gressional action"
| know nothing about any suggest
ed congressional action. nor do |
believe that any such action is con-
templated, but under the circumstan-
ccs which have been stated to me /
believe it was the duty of the re-
ceVer to keep the men in his employ,
to pay them the wages prevailing at
the time the dispute arose, and if he
was unable to secure the money with
which to make these payments then
to give the men receivers certificates
or other forms of obligations for the
deficiency. This arrangement to con
tinue until the decision of the labor
board. 1t is obvious, of course, that
the men cannot be compelled to re-
ccive anything but money for their
compensation, but if they were will
ing to accept the obligations of the
company or of the receiver mani
fesly the receiver should have ac.t
cepted their offer.
The chief purpose of this part of
the Transportation Act was to pre-
vent the interruption of transporta-
ton, and that can only be done by
preserving an existing status until
the labor board passes upon any dis
pute which may arise between the
railroad companies or their receivers
and the men employed to operate the
properties

U, S. Grant and the birthdays of
those of the Corps whose birthdays

he spoke of the comrades as one by
one, they answer the roll call and
pass to the other side in the final re-
view before the Great Commander
of the Universe. A patriotic solo, by
Mrs. Nan Graham, with violin and
organ accompaniment was enjoyed
very much. Its title "Thc Starry
Banner" endcared it to the hearers.
A patriotic recitation by Cap Lin
ncmar was treat. He will be an
orator some day.
Rev Strawn of the Christian
church gave an eloquent and telling
address, telling of the life Of u S.

This was in July, 1909, when
Champlain made his memorable
voyage up the lake now called
after him.
The first permanent settle
ment was made in 1924 at Brat
tleboro, where the Massachusetts
colony established a fort as a
buffer against invasion from the
north. The territory used was
part of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were
sold at public auction in Hart
ford for about a farthing an
acre, the proceeds being donated
to Yale college. Shortly after
this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake
Champlain and westward from
New Hampshire. This led to dis
putes between these two colo

len New York's claims were re-
sisted by local military force,
which proudly called themselves
"the Green Mountain Boys" 1t
was these same men who played
such a brilliant part during the
Revolution.
In 1777 formal Constitution
for the state was adopted ana

that theirs was the first of the
states to prohibit slavery by

Ing to a delay in shipment of the
fountain the dedication of the w.

Word to this effect has been sent
to all parties concerned. h mon
ument was received in this city yes
terday moor time and was imme-
diately taken in charge by the
committee who is pushing the mat
ter of erection.
About a week ago the story was
circulated about the city that the
fountain had been confiscated by the
enforcement agents on its way to
this city. The fountain was sup
posed to have been on a truck that
was loaded with the deadly booze"
when it was stopped and taken to
the headquarters of the enforce
ment agents. Mrs. Pearce, who is
very active in the work of the w. C.
T.. u denied this yesterday to a
News reporter and stated that it

The committee expects to have
Rev. George w. Abel, pastor of the
John Street M. E. church, make the
speech of presentation to the city
and it is hoped that Mayor Thomas
j. Scully will respond on behalf
of the city government. As it is in
the form of a memorial to the SOL
