SOUTHERN COMPETITION
CAUSE OF WAGE CUT

LAW RENEE, Mass, April II
Southern competition advanced
fy the New England cotton mill
owners as the cause of the recent
wage cut is a device for justify
ing low wages in New England
said President Thomas F. McMa-
hon of the United Textile Work
ers of America in addressing a
mass meeting of the strikers this
morning. He was replying to a
statement made by Edwin f.
Greene. treasurer of the Pacific
mills, that the textile industry in
New England was in danger of
disappearing under the advantages
of the southern competition, and
suggesting that if capital and la
hOr could not prosper together in
New Engalnd that labor had bet
ter take a leaf from capitals
book.
"If it develops, said Mr.. Nc
Mahon, that the textile WORKERS
are better off in the South, it will
become the business of the union
to tell the northern workers to go
South"
"With due respect to Mr..
Greene | could answer his entire
address in one short SENTENCE
he considers the rights and needs
Of dollars far more important
than the rights and needs of hu-
man beings"

JUDGE STAFFORD
ENDORSED AS
POET LAUREATE
VermOnters In Washing.
ton Have Annual Town
Meeting

WASHINGTON, April 27-Jus-
tice Wendell Phillips Stafford, of
St. Johnsbury, Vt. and Washington
ID. c., distinguished equally as a
iulist and as a writer of mclodiouS
verse, was enthusiastically lndorSed
for the post of Poet Laureate of
Vermont by the Vermont ASsocia-
ton in Washington at its annual
meeting last week.
The election Of officers took
place at this session, and the half
hundred Vermonters present lis
tened to an interesting and in
structive talk, illuctrated with Ian
tern slides, on the collection of lit
tie known plants for the Govern
ment in out-of-the-way corners of
the world by Otis w. Barrett, ma
tive of Claredon, Vt.
The Endorsement of Justice Stat
ford came after +. A. Silsby had
presented resolution % that
effect, which was received with
evidences of marked appreciation.
This pronouncement, which was
adopted at once, reads aS follows
"ReSolved: That the Vermont
Town Meeting of the District of
Columbia heartily apptoves the eff
forts now being made in the State
of Vermont to create the post of
Poet Laureate of Vermont, and de-
Sires to 90 on record as unanimous
lv indorsing the selection of jus
tice Wendell Phillips Stafford, Of
st. JohnsbuIy and Washington, for
that honor"
From an experience Of twenty
seven years Mr.. Barrett spoke to
his hearers on collecting plants in
the tropics. Twice has he complete
ly circled the globe in the pursuit
of his vocation, besides traverSing
vast reaches of countries little
known to the average traveller. Adj
ventures had been encountered so
many time and in so many forms
as to be a commonplace to him.
Personal recollectionS as to Mr..
Barrett date back to about 1888 at
Vermont Academy, when as toll
studiOus youth | remember him,
with a decided bent toward the
sciences, chemistry, and such lore
which was for the most part seal
ed book to the rank and file of Us.
His talk was literally illustrated
with pictures thrown unOn the
screen displaying chiefly different
forms of plants and their edible
products, many OF which have been
introduced with success and profit

With the final rehearsal to-
night in the Colonial theatre the
United Travellers of st. Jonnsbury

tions everybody getting ready for

Tomorrow comes the big opening

quake, the seventh annual minstrel
show and from the Canadian line
and the New Hampshire border
and from down into Massachusetts
they're coming the boys and their
friends, all booked for the Colo
nial theatre. There will be as
usual three performances Friday
and Saturday evenings and Satur-
day matinee
Fred C. Gibson as chairman of
the Disgloomament conference,
the first part of the minstrel show
will appear in his old role as in
terlocutor and if there is a better
one, the U. c. T. boys have never
found him.
You'll go away from the theatre
humming the songs the U. {. T.
minstrels will sing, opening with
the Key Note chorus, "Why Don't
You Smile?" There will be some
corking numbers by the members
of the chorus, Harold Abbott,
Roy Calderwood, Orrie jerks,
| Walter Cox, and Oscar Proulx and
the curtain will go down on a
grand finale, "I've Got the Red,
White and Blues"
After you've rested your sides
and before the mouth corners be-
gin to turn down again the cur
tain will go up on part two, the
screamingly funny farce by Frank
O. French, Hotel Hokum with its
array of well known talent, a
whole show in itself. The seventh
annual is going to be the beggest
annual.

Stage All Set for

Notwithstanding the prospects
of cool weather-and in thunder,
lighting or in rain-the Auto Show
will be held at St. Johnsuly on
Friday and Saturday and thous-
ands of visitors are expected from
all parts of the state and several
hundred automobiles have been en-
tered and will be displayed on the
common on Main Street while in
the attractive windows of our en-
terprising merchants throughout
the town are various accessories
tastefully trimmed with the U. c..
T. colors. Reports from all sides
indicate that the roads are in fair
condition and all trunk lines are
open for traffic. Many out of town
distributors will be here with their
latest models and the dealers in St.

elaborate preparations for the big
show. The common has been con
nected with the telephone service
and the number is 1853. This teie-

CONGREGATIONAL
CLUB FORMED
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Men of the Two Churches
Entertained by Magic
and Good Stories

The Round Table of the South
church and the North Church
Brotherhood held another one of
their monthly socials at the North
church Wednesday evening where
an excellent supper was served by
the Missionary Round Table. Fol
lowing the banquet it was decided
to form a Congregational Club
from the Congre gational churches
of st. Johnsbury and such others
as may desire. The new organiza-
ton does not supplant the orgaliz-
ations in each of the two churches,
but it designed to furnish a society
that can unite in various kinds of
religious and civic work.
The matter of presenting a
bathroom scale to the home which
the State Board of Charities and
Probation has just opened at Mont
pelier was brought up and the mon.
ey for this purpose was quickly
raised.
For the next half hour Jack
Leonard entertained the audience
with a remarkably clever Slelght OF
hand performance The young man
had a variety of tricks. and receiv-
ed hearty applause after every
stunt.
Principal Wilson of the Academy
gave some unique experiences of
his college days when he crossed
the ocean on a cattle boat, not as
a first-class passenger but as a
cattle tender. His story of the voy-
age was full of incidents and the
trip to England and return only
cost him S1.14.
The last speaker was Charles T.
Walter, editor of the Republican.
who gave many "reminiscences of
the prominent men he had met in
his long newspaper experience in
cluding stories of several pre:f-
dents, senators, and other men in
public life. His experiences at the
republican national convention and
with Gov. Bell brought out many
sidelights in the characters of
many prominent Vermonters. At
the close of a talk full of good
stories Mr. Walter eXhiitcd letters
from many prominent Americans,
including some whom he had men
toned in his address.

After viewing the place where
General Grant was born-only the
lean-to of which remains, the
remainder having been taken to
state Playground, President Hard
ing delivered an address on
the centenary celebration.
POINT PLEASANT, Ohio,
April 27-The world today needs
something of the spirit of General
Grant, President Harding declared
today in an address at exercises
commemorating the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth here of
the great military leader
81 sometimes WONDER" the
President said, "if the magnanimi-
ty Of Grant, the dogged, persist
ent, unalterable Grant in warfare
the unconditional surrender
Grant-would not be helpful in
the world today. The great
world struggle, which we might
reasonably designate the Civil
war of western civilization, and in
which we so creditably and help
fully participated, left peoples and
nations PROSTATE, hardly knowing
which way to turn for restoration.
| cannot help but believe that
something of the spirit with which
Grant welcomed victory, some
thing of his eagerness to return
to peaceful ways, would have
speedcd the restoration and hast
ened the return to prosperity and
happiness, without which there
can be no abiding peace"
Mr.. Harding paid tribute to
Grant as "The military hero Of
the Republic; a commanding fig
ure in the military history of the
world; the surprising example of
magnanimity OF all times; the
most striking example of poSsibi-
htles of American life; the con-
fident and relentless commander
in war, and the modest and SYM
pathetic petitioner of peace after
victory"
we know his cherishment Of
peace, intensified by his intimate
knowledge of the horrors of war;,
the President continued. 81 can
we'll believe he would have APP
proved of all that the Republic
has so reccre'y done in joining
other nations in lifting the bur
dcns of armament and promoting
understandings which make war
less likely. l know he would have
approved, because we surrendered
no independence, we gave up none
of nationality for which we
fought, but we have furthered the
assurance Of peace, which was the
supreme yealning OF his brave
heart"

ANTHEMS IS
SUNK IN LAKE
NEAR MAC0C
Steamer That Piled From
Newport to Magog,
Damaged BY Ice

The Canadian steamboat, An
themis, has found a watery grave
in Lake Memphremagog. Lying at
the pier in her winter quarters at
Magog she sank in Is feet of
water and the ice jam has COM
pletely demolished the upper
decks.
Magog is a grave yard for
boats, as with the sinking of the
Anthems one is reminded of the
fate of the Mountain Maid, which
also sank at the same wharf one
spring in the late eighties after it
was sold to the Canadian Pacific
Il. r.
1t was at Magog also, the Lady
Of the Lake was taken to be
scrapped a few years ago.
While the Anthems was never
a popular boat, it served the pur-
pose of transportation on the lake
and the loss is regretted by pat
ronS.
Capt. T. J. Jackman is not dis
mayed by the loss of his steam
boat, and has already secured an
option on the steamer Yioco,
which he intends to purchase and
operate this season until other
accommodations are obtainable.
The loss of the Anthemis makes
it all the more imperative that
Lake Memphremagog have a
steamboat which is large enough
to carry crowd with safety and
speedy enough to make good con-
nections between Newport and
MagOg.
A special meeting of the Magog
and Newport steamship navigation
company is to be held at the Brit
iSh Empire building in Montreal
tomorrow The operations of the
company are to be resumed and
an amalgamation of this company
and those interests who last sea-
son operated the "Anthemis" is
contemplated. Under this ar
rangcment the "Yioco" is to be
acquired by the Company, and
Capt. Jackman will be associated
IN the management.
Immediately upon the compile
ton of this reorganization, the
necessary financing to secure the
construction Of new boat will be
attempted. There is every rea-
son to believe that this financing
will be a success, and that within
short period of time it will be
possible to order the new boat.
This boat will be constructed in
accordance with Captain Jack
mans ideas as to what is appro-
pirate for the needs of Lake Mem
phremagog. His plan is to make
her Il wheeler, and of such
size and appointments as to make
possible the accommodation of
the largest excursions.
\. NJ. Bowen, proprietor of the
Newport House, has been interest
ed in the project from the first,
and he is to be made one of the
directors of the reorganized COM
pany with Captain Jackman, and

Shewannigan Power and Light
Co. Mr. Bishop has also large
ship building interests in the west,
and is Il contractor and builder in
