NO HARD COAL FOR
VERMONT THIS WINTER
Domestic Users Must Do One Of Three
Things, Burn Soft Coal Burn Wood
Or Suffer from Cold.

| H. j. M. Jones, state fuel admins.
| traitor, in statement made for this
paper Friday, made it very clear that
! in his opinion. domestic users Of coal
this winter will do one Of three things
burn wood, burn soft coal or suffer
| from cold weather Mr. Jones is very
much exercised over the lethargy, which
appears to exist in Vermont on the
matter.
He said, ut is not my desire to
frighten the citizens of Vermont, nor
to create q panic, but fear and panic
may be the only weapons that will
save the domestic consumers of anthra-
cite coal from suffering this winter.
have had sufficient information to
know that some people who have been
using this class of coal for heating
purposes must use some substitute for
q part of the winter. The strike in the
anthracite mines is still on and if q
settlement were made to-day and all
miners return to work, Vermont would
not receive over so per cent of its
needs.
Public meetings should be called in
every city and town in tise state to ar
range for supply of some substitute
for anthracite coal. Cutting wood clubs
should be formed, especially in the
rural districts, and get to work with
real earnestness to create a supply Of
such proportions that it will save suf
fering this winter. The state fuel com
mittee will not receive pound of an
thracite coal until the strike is settled
and the mines resume work. After the
strike is settled it will be weeks be-
fore flow of this coal will come to
Vermont and that amount will depend
entirely on the United States fuel dis
tributor. We cannot procure coal; we
can only distribute it.
Again, i say, do not want to
frighten the public. but it is my duty
as fuel distributor of the state of YER
mont to warn you when see danger
ahead. Please consider that in normal
times it requires IL months mining to
supply the country with the necessary
amount of anthracite coal and that the
mines have been closed for five months. |
We may be able to secure soft coal as
a substitute. but if everyone clamors
for it, the supply win not be sufficient.
Vermont has nearly three months be-
fore cold weather and our only saliva
tion is wood. My advice is that the
coal users hold meetings at once and |
arrange for the cutting of wood on q
large scale to save Vermont from suf
fering the coming winter. ! might say
further that it would be only natural
for this Office next February to remind
you of this Aug. rs interview"

GOOD TREATMENT PAYS.
co-partnership With Employees Basis
Of Business Success.

London, Aug. 24.---At the mommoth
establishment of Lever Brothers
Port Sunlight" Lord Leverhulme has
long demonstrated to the commercial
world that it pays to treat employees
well. The partnership idea has
been the foundation of his gigantic
business. He has just carried that idea
a long step further.
Life insurance policies will be taken
out by the company for every CO.
partner in the firm from laborers to
directors. The policies of ordinary
members of the staff will be worth
from fl00 to maximum of fl,o00;
those of foremen from f200 to e.
600, and those Of managers from E400
to $4,000. "a system of grading is TO
be instituted to determine the amount
of the policy allotted to each person.
Devotion to duty and efficiency will
lead to promotion to ah igher grade
and an increase in the amount Of the
policy, while for insufficient or care
less work an employee may be graded
down.
Should an employee retire with the
company's consent, the company will
try to arrange that he contuine to
pay the premiums. In the event of an
employee leaving in any other cir
cumstances the company will try to
secure that the assured person if he
50 desires, shall continue payments at
the ordinary rates without medical
examination.
Under the unemployment scheme the
firm will pay q co-partner such sum
as with all allowances from other
sources, will equal half wages Bene-
At win be paid on similar basis in
the case of sickness extending over a
week This benefit will run for four
weeks, and its continuance vii then be-
considered.
Lord Leverhulme explaining the
scheme to meeting of the employees,
who adopted i twith enthusiasm
said that it was not something in
place of wages The payment of trade
union rates of wages was the basis of
the plan, but t5e idea of the new pro-
posals was to reward and encourage
diligence and efficient service.
"We feel" Lord Leverhulme added
that there cannot be any gress r
effect than that Of remos
ing the dread OF unemployment and re-
the possibility of dependents
being left destitute in the case of the
death of the bread winner"
Lord Leverhulme spoke highly of the
value of co partnership. THE last two
years Of stress and strain that we have
gone through in business have proved"
he said, "thaat partnership is a
sheet anchor in such time. We may
have adversely in the future, but ! am
certain that the partnership prin
.iple will come out triumphant and
With flying colors."

Werrenraih Opposes Use of
Books of Words at Recitals

Reinald Werrcnrath has for years
made "a strenuous fight against the
use Of word books by audiences ut song
recitals except when foreign songs
are programmed, and then he advises
that only the TRANSACTIONS, and not the
original words, be printed. His argu-
ment, summed up shortly, Is In his own
words:
II am very much opposed to words
being printed on programs, except pos
sibly translations. It is not that I
think the words unimportant, or in
any way subordinate to the music. |
never sing a song or consider the
musical setting until have first read
and spmpathetically approved of the
poem, for the worda are really more
than 30 per cent of the song. They
must, naturally, have inspired, cre-
ated the music. If an artist hasn't
good enough diction to project his
message to his audience without
printed assistance, he has no right to
sing. He isn't singer, he is a
vocalizer. A singer is a person who
combines his tone with his vowel for
nation, intonation and diction and who
paints his pictures with word as we'll
as musical phrasing. Many artists ap-
prove Of word books, but / And that
neither the artist nor the listener gets
much satisfaction out of recital when
the majority of the people have their
noses buried in the text book. There
is bond Of understanding and more
direct message Of musical painting
when the artist can look in the eyes of
his audience. And somehow the look
Ing makes the sense Of hearing more
ACUTE and certainly more enjoyable"
