WANT MISS GRIDLEY
KEPT As SOCIAL YORKER
Protest Meeting Was Held Last Eve
ming Before City Council
Charity Committee.

A protest meeting against the refusai
of the board of aldermen to re engage
Miss Louise NJ Gridley as social work
er in Barre for another year was held
at the city court room last evening, at
which time the charity committee OF
the city government heard many state
ments why Miss Gridley should be re-
tanned 1t will be recalled that the al
dermen, at their meeting last week, sub
stituted George +. Ball in the position
of Miss Gridley as overseer OF the poor
and voted not to fill the Office OF social
worker. Only slight reference was made
to the change in overseers, It appar-
emily being the almost unanimous be-
lief of those present that that position
was mans job
But there was a decided expression OF
belief that the Office of social worker
should be continued and that Miss
Gridley should be retained in the posi-
ton. AT the outset of the meeting
Chairman Edwin keast of the city
charity committee said that the com
mittee had consented TO hear the pro.
tests on the request OF A. b. Lane, and
he then threw the meeting open to dis
cussion. Mr.. Lane, who is president OF
the Community house board, then made
PREDATORY remarks and introduced a
general discussion. By that time the
courtroom was filed to overlooking.
Those who spoke in behalf of Miss
Gridley.s work and the desirability OF
having a social worker were Mrs.
George Il. Bond, Mrs. w. +. Shepard,
Mrs. n D. Phelps, E, R. Davis, DIR. d.
C. Jarvis, DIR. J II. Woodruff, +. G.
Glysson, Henry Alexander, Douglas
Barclay, George +. Bond, Hen
ry A. Phelps, Lowell Mcleod and
others. The speakers were loud in
their praise OF Miss Gridley's efforts as
social worker and they thought the
needs of the city required continu-
ance of the work
The two members OF the charity com
mittee present and Mayor Langley said
little but were interrogated now and
then by the speakers. The discussion
lasted for nearly three hours, and at
the conclusion William Barclay moved
that committee be appointed to wait
upon the city council as soon as posi-
bic TO present the case TO the larger
body. A. b. Lane, Margaret Mcksnna,
Mrs. George f. Bond and /. Mcleod
were appointed to act as such commit
tee. II was suggested that the meeting
before the city council be deferred until
a complete council could be present, Al
derman Shield being at present on a
western trip.

Taking the original estimate of ex-
pected revenue for the next two years
as made by the budget committee, the
chairman says:
Personally, think this estimate is
rather low and could be raised with
degree OF safety to s5,500,000."
The budget committees estimate of
revenue was S., $4,000.
Chairman Dyer does not favor
large state tax, even though the pro
posed 80 cents a year would probably
create deficit. He says;
Il would suggest, however, that the
rate be carefully considered as there
is and will be considerable cash on hand
in the treasury that might just as well
be used even though the treasurer may
be obliged to borrow during the last
part of the biennial period. We would
then be in a very much better condi-
tion than many of our cities and towns.
Il do not believe we should consider
a tax rate of over 20 cents for the first
year and 40 cents for the second year.
or possibly 80 cents each year. 1t will
be seen that even this will leave
deficit of around Sl,000,0O0 as matters
look at this time"
The special appropriations include

STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Stock trad.
ing today was almost wholly influ
enced by the grave aspects of the rail
way labor situation and other develop
ments Of unfavorable import, includ-
ing the further shrinkage of German
exchange.
Rails sustained early loses of l to
points as did equipments, steels, mo-
tors, coppers and other kindred is
sues. In several instances. notably
among minor transportations, these
reversals were extended to a consid-
cradle extent later.
Oils were inclined to resist the gen
eral pressure at the outset, but the
weight of offerings gradually effected
substantial receSSionS. Royal Dutch
was among issues under constant at
tack to the accompaniment of reports
that the company had sold its holdings
in Mexican Eagle Oil.
Other points of weakness embraced
shippings, tobaccoS, textiles, feathers
and some utilities, including express
companies. The only issues to show
gains at the close were those engaged
in the manufacture of motor trucks
those stocks being bought on the theo
ry that such vehicles would largely
replace freight cars in the event of a
strike. Sales $4,000 shares.
Reactions of the forenoon were has
tened by tightness of money, call
loans opening at IL per cent. The
rate fell to four per cent at midday
however, but this was without visible
stabilizing effect in the final hour
when lowest averages were made

Chairman Campbell at once denied
that there was truth in it. Grim, jump
ing up amid the confusion, declared
that the chairmans answer went for
him, and the wizard, still smiling,
said he was glad to know it.
AS he left the stand, Simmons said
he wanted to thank the committee for
Is onsiiecation and courtesy.
Reference to the daily presence OF
the assistant attorney general, and
the one day stay of w }. Burns, di-
rector of the department of justice bu-
reau of investigation, was made by
Representative Pou, Democrat, North
Carolina, while he was examining the
wizard. Asked if he had been intimi-
dated by the presence of Burns, Sim
mons said he had not, and that he
had faithfully tried to give the COM
mittee all the information it was seek
ing.
In rounding up what he termed the
good points of the organization, Sim
mons said that the military branch"
not yet formed, was not to more mill
tariStic than the patrol of the "mys-
tic shrine" and that members joining
were required to help enforce the ma
tons laws only as citizens and that
when black sheep crept in, they were
kicked out. if found. There was no
rule, he said, prohibiting publication
OF membership lists.
Pou asked the wizard how much he
was worth. and the wizard replied
that all of his savings had been spent
during the early fight to put the Khan
on its feet.
Il have no financial standing" he
said. 81 have had no pocket book of
my own these past six years, and God
being my witness, have tried to steer
this organization clear away from com
mercialism."
Simmons, answering Chairman
Campbell, denied he had claimed d
: membership of hundreds of thousands
who would go after congress if it at
tempted to crush the Khan. He asked
congress to go ahead and investigate.
