Maine Central
Agrees With ShOpmen

PORTLAND, Me-, Oct 10
Harmony between their several
hundred shopmen who have been
idle since the general strike on
July l of certain classes of rail
road workers and the management
o fthe Maine Central Railroad and
the Portland Terminal Company
was reestablished Saturday when
an agreement was reached termi-
mating the controversy.
This was brought about by the
institution fan entirely new or
ganization known as "The Associa-
ton of Shopcrafts Employees" and
said to be conservative and in no
way affiliated with outside labor
organizations.
The conferences between off
GERS of the new body and Dana C.
Douglass, vice president and gen
eral manager of the companies,
which began yesterday, terminated
today in new agreement of rules
covering working conditions and a
Siding scale of wages ranging
from 80 cents to GO cents an hour.
The announcement was made by
S. s. Robbins of Wate1ville, gen
eral chairman of the association
which is a voluntary organization,
representing all shop crafts en-
ployes in the motive power de-
partment of the two companies.
James H. Brice of this city is
general secretary and B. H. Col
pitts of Bangor, treasurer. The
new organization will become
operative and the agreement eff
fective on Nov. 2.
General Manager Douglass, ask
ed as to the seniority of the men
returning, said that all entering
the employ of the two companies
would some as new men. He added
that men are being hired every
day and that the matter of senior
ity in position was thing of the
past.
The new association is open to
all men who left their positions
the first of July, and it was stated
that a majority of them already
had become identified with it and
resumed their work.

interesting way. He said that
present conditions have not come
about by chance and that they are
not wholly the result of the war.
The war simply brought certain
matters to a head and the results
are made apparent more forcibly
and more quickly than they other
wise would have been. He called
attention to the different attitude
of educational problems today
that have grown out of our in
creased population and the rapid
taking up of public lands and re-
sources. An individual or a
nation can no longer move the
boundary line without infringing
upon the property rights of others.
In our industrial and economic
discussions we must learn to really
listen to the other fellow whether
il be employer or employee. The
idea of individual and nation to
listen to the arguments of the
other fellow must give way to a
real get-together spirit and we
must have the strength of charac
ter and christian purpose to do
this and meet our modern prob
lens squarely and fairly.
The last speaker was Supt. Viii
liam McAndrew of New York
City whose splendid vigorous adj
dress earlier in the day had been
one of the outstanding features
OF the great convention. He en-
phasized the fact that teachers
have big job to perform. No
where can the modern spirit of
team work be more successfully
impressed upon the rising gener-
alton than in the schools. Honest
American manhood as a basis of
our economic life and success Must
be emphasized. Schools were es-

THE ZOO

Jest think of all the meny differ
ent animals
1t takes to make Zoo,
You stand outside their cages
looking in at them
And they stand inside looking out
at you.
The elefunt stands on his feet all
day
Looking strong and harty but
pale,
How carelissly he waves his trunk
And don't do a thing with his tale !!
o look at the baby rinosseriss
He is pritty because he is new,
Vile his mother on the contrary is
Jest the reverse,
She was young once but how she
has grew.
The munkeys jump up the bars of
their cage
Because they have no trees to
cline,
But you cant enjoy feeling sorry
for them
Because they have sutch a Won

We stay there bravely as the lion
roars
And shows all the teeth he can
show,
And yet on the other hand if he
ever broak loose
We'd be the ferst ones to go.

pointed by the chairman Clowse,
consisting of L. C. Hunt of Bur

and H. A. Swaffield of Montpelier
presented the following list of of
ficers for the coming year, and
they were unanimously elected:
President, Supt E. A. Hamilton
of Newport; vice president, Prin.

R. N. Millett of Springfield, Prof.
J. L. Hills Of Burlington, Prin. E.
H. Clowse of Richmond.
The first speaker introduced was
NJ. y. Chittenden of Burlington,
state supervisor of high schools.
Mr. Chittenden complimented St.
Johnsbury on the successful, whole
souled fashion in which it has been
entertaining the convention. He
suggested that while the town had
been greeting the big convention
with wonderful hospitality, he was
sure the splendid program present
ed by the association had given the
town something in return. He
spoke in most appreciative terms
Of the work of the late Charles E.
Putney, both as principal of the
Academy for many years and later
in the public schools of Burlington.
His life and teachings were a YER
table benediction to the young
people who were fortunate enough
to come under the influence of his
wonderful personality. He typified
everything that is desired in an
ideal schoolmaster
When Commissioner Dempsey
was presented to speak, the entire
assembly rose to do him honor.
The speaker emphasized the i'm
portance of right direction. We
are much like the old colored
man whose horse was wandering
from one side of the road to the
other much to the inconvenience
of other patrons of the road.
When demonstrated with, he said:
"He knows better, sar, but SOM
times, he jus don gifts some care
less like" Much of our diff
culties, said Commissioners Demp-
sey, can be obviated and corrected
when we get proper viewpoint
and correct direction. 1t always
helps to solve our worries to bury
them face down, as the Scotch
man did his wife 1--WE are build
ing ourselves and our efforts into
the work of the state of Vermont
that we love. This is a certain kind
of Immortality we can all realize.
Toward the actual realization of
the American ideals so far as we
can bring them to pass, is our
work. 1t is this that makes our
country great. 1t is this that our
educational standards stand for
May our ideals be abundantly rea-
lized.
DR. Wallace w. Atwood, presi-
dent of Clark University, was the
next speaker. He said he claimed
some connection with New Eng
land although he was not a native
in the commonly accepted sense.
He said he was like the little girl
who wasn't born in her native
town because she happened to be
away visiting her aunt. Dr. At

NEW ELECTION IN FARM LOAN ASSN
IS CALLED BY,SECfTARl
Stockholders Summoned to Meet March 1 and Untangle Situation
 as to County Officers.

Notices were sent out today to stockholders of the Faulkner County Federal Farm Loan Association to meet at the Commercial Club in this city on Saturday, March 1, at l o'clock p. m., for the purpose of elect ing board of directors for the organ iZation.
 1 The meeting was called as a result of the controversy which occurred at meeting of the board of directors held on February l 1, when by three to two vote the officers elected on January 10 were deposed and new set of officers appointed The old of ticers have refused to relinqush their positions.
 Mrs. C. V. Hinkle, the secretary treasurer elected on January 10, is sending out the call for the meeting, as result, she stated, of ruling by the Federal Land Bank of St. Lou is that the stockholders meeting on January 10 was not legal one, a majority of the stock not being rep resented. The St. Louis institution, Mrs. Hinkle said, stated that where no controversy comes up the board of directors elected by the stockholders is recognized, even if quorum of the stock was not voted at the annual meeting, but where the election was questioned, it was the policy of the authorities to require new election in such cases.
 Mrs. Hinkle said she was making a tabulation today to determine the ex- act number of votes in the county or ganization, so as to know what would constitute a majority. Each borrow CT, she said, is entitled to cast one vote for each S100 borrowed, with the proviso that no individual may cast l more than 20 votes The total amount borrowed from the Federal Land Bank in this county is approximately $200,- GOO, Mrs. Hinkle stated.
 The Federal Lank Bank at St. Lou is continues to recognize the old of ficers, R. J. Steele as president and Mrs. Hlnkle as secretary-treasurer, pending the holding of a new election, she said.
 At the meeting here on February II John Reeves received the vote of a majority of the five directors for president and I. G. Williams for sec retary treasurer By the same vote the board also elected new loan com mittee
 MT. Reeves stated that the bylaws of the organization clearly set forth that the directors may remove or dis charge any of the officers at any time, and that there is no question of the legality of the action of the board here on February II.

OBITUARY.

Geralda Dean, daughter of Mr and Mrs. O. A. Dean, born August 21, 1914, age seven years, passed from the sick room into the sunny cline of the bright beyond February 19. Flu neral services were held in the home in east Conway by Rev. A. E. Goode lnterment was in Oak Grove ceme- tery.
 Geralda was one of Gods little flow CTS, left to grow just long enough for that fond attachment to form, and the heavenly Father took her to the siness heavenly land. She left a loving father and mother, and a little brother and sister to mourn her go- ing. She slipped away from her childish toys and her little play mates and went to live with the angels. May the loved and lonely ones at home bow gracefully to Gods decree for He doth all things well. Her pres ence will be missed and absence of her happy voice will be painfully silent. You will listen for her foot laiio never again to near them OH lnlS side the bar, but you know where to find her, and at your going she will meet you in that happy land. She is not dead-the child of your
 affection
 But gone into that school Where she no longer needs your pro-
 lection,
 Where Christ Himself doth rule In that great cloister's stiffness and
 seclusion,
 By guardian angels led Safe from temptations, safe from
 sims pollution,
 She lives, whom we call dead.

ACTION DEFERRED
 AGAIN BY UNION 10 ENDORSE CANDIDATES Unlikely that Farmers will Run In- dependent County Ticket-Union
 Bank Still Planned.

Adjourning late last night after al all-day session, the special meeting o1
 the Faulkner County Farmers Unior
 failed to take final action upon any of several propositions for which the
 meeting was called, the Log Cabin Democrat was informed by member Of the organization today. The meet ing was an executive one and it's proceedings in detail were not made public.
 The most important matters before the meeting, the organization of a Farmers Union bank, the co-opera- tive purchase of fertilizer and the proposition of nominating a county ticket for political offices, were all finally referred to a committee of IS. three being added to the committee of 15 appointed at the previous coun- ty meeting. This committee will meet at Conway on Saturday, March 1, for further consideration of the three matters.
 There is a difference of opinion among the union membership as to the character of bank to be establish ed, one of the members told the Log Cabin Democrat today. c. M. WertZ. president of the county union, it WAS stated, favors the organization of all agricultural bank under state laws, while others prefer national bank. It was practically agreed at yester days meeting to begin canvass for subscriptions to stock and to arrange for opening the institution as soon as $25 ,000 capital was subscribed. Sub scriptions, it was stated, will not be limited to members of the union, but will be confined as far as possible to farmers.
 The proposition of establishing union store here has been practically abandoned, it was said.
 The same member told the Log Cabin Democrat there is litle probab- ility of the union putting an inde- pendent political ticket in the field for the general election. The chances are that certain candidates, probably some who are not members of the union, will be endorsed for the various county offices and efforts made to se- cure solid support for them among the membership of the union. he said. But this will be done in the Demo- cratic primary election in August and not the general election, in his opin- ion. There is, however. an element in the union that favors rarning full ticket independently at the general election.
 Whatever action is taken by the committee of Is at its meeting here on March will be reported to the next meeting of the county union which will be held at Perkins School house on Wednesday and Thursday April 26 and 27.
