New Corporation Plans to
Bring Manufacturers Here

A corporation, under the Maine law,
known as the Winthrop Realty o., has
recently been formed with q capital
stock of $4,000 and $4,000 paid in and
with. the following officers: President,
Charles 8. Towle; treasurer, Harry w.
Stevens; clerk. Melvin w. Wiswell
These officers, together with e. H.
Jones and f. 1. Bishop. constitute the
board of directors. This corporation
has been instrumental in bringing to
the town . manufacturing corporation
known as the Sterling Shoe Co.. who
will commence operations in about a
month. They will employ at first
about 30 people with the prospect of
advancing the number to 1875 in the
course OF the next year. The Big
Acme theatre building at the foot of
Lake MaranacoOk has been purchased
by the Winthrop Realty Co. and will
immediately be renovated and put in
order for the shoe factory. The hous-
ing proposition seems to be the hard
est problem just now and several in
town are talking strongly of build
ing. Parties from Lewiston have al
ready geen here looking up rents, and
rents are scarce and hard to find.
Other manufacturing concerns have
tried in times past to Focate In VIM
throp but for various reasons have
been unable to di so and the town is to
be congratulated on having a hust-
ling committee who have put the at
fair through in so successful a man
ner. The Winthrop Realty Co. also
has other plans which they hope later
to finance as successfully as they

people of Winthrop is that c. NJ. Bal

build their manufacturing plant here

menced on the building at once. 1t is
understood that cement structure

ROADS, UNIONS
WOULD FORCE
HAND OF u. S.
Charge Both Use Rail
Crisis To Further
Selfish Ends.

Washington, Oct 1s.-United
Press. )-Charges that railroad ex-
ecutives and union labor leaders
both are endeavoring to utilize the
rail crisis to force government ac-
ton beneficial to them may be made
in congress within the next few
days.
The railroads want passage i'm
mediately by congress of the rail-
road refunding bill under which
they will receive S500,000,000 from
the federal treasury with an amend
ment giving them the right to sue
for the now famous "inef1ciency of
labor" claims, totaling hundreds of
millions.
Seek Federal Control.
The brotherhoods want the rail-
roads forced back into the hands of
the government with eventual gov
ernment ownership.
Certain members Of congress
frankly state they believe that some
of the rail executives on the one
hand and the union leaders on the
other have seized on the present
crisis as their opportunity to force
through their programs. These
congressman are seeking evidence
to support this belief with the idea
of making the charges on the floor
Can't BulldoZe Government
The government already has de-
cided it will not be coerced or bull
dozed by either side, it was learned
on high authority.
The railroad executives were in
formed about ten days ago by MEM
bers of the senate interstate COM
merce committee that the provision
giving them the right to sue for in
efficiency of labor during the war
would not be put in the railroad
refunding bill by the senate. A few
days later they met in Chicago and
in the face of a big strike vote
against previous wage cut, gave
notice they would ask for further
reductions.
In Cleveland union leaders were
quoted as saying that they believed
government seizure of the railroads
was the only solution of the present
difficulty.
