STRIKERS TELEGRAPH
POSITION TO CHIEF

NEW 1ORh, Aug. 9-Z0,OOO
rail shopcraft workers through
David Williams secretary of the
Eastern strike committee today
sent a telegram to B M. Jewell
putting themselves on record as
refusing to accept President Hard
ing's proposals for submitting the
seniority to the Railroad Labor
Board. The telegram reads as
follows.
"In behalf of $4,000 railroad
striking shopmen, we endorse your
stand in refusing to accept the com
promising proposition of President
Harding. Located in a district ex-
posed to the poison gas attack as
represented by the lying propro-
ganda of the railroad executives,
our members have withstood tho
attack without faltering and the
morale of the strikers is perfect.
The purpose of the telegram was
to set Mr.. Jewell straight" re-
garding both the railroad exc
tives and the Presidents proposals.

FARNUM'S OLD
WATER RATES
MUST STAND
Hearing Tuesday at Lyn-
don Before Public Ser
vice Commission

Tuesday was field day over the
water question at Lyndon Corner.
The present system of water
supplying the village was INSTALL
ed by Mcclellan of Barton some
thing over 20 years ago. Several
years ago it was purchased by
Scott M. Farnum who has since
controlled it and is the present
owner. The system is much in
need of repairs and the service
was badly crimped last season for
lack of anywhere near an adequate
amount of water to supply the
minimum needs of the patrons.
Repairs on the property were abb
solutely necessary and last fall
Mr.. Farnum, with this added ex-
pense in prospect sought to cast
an anchor to windward, so to
speak, by advancing the tariff
rate, which in circular to his pa
irons issued last February was
claimed to be the equivalent of
1872 cents per month.
A remonstrance to this increase
was raised and a meeting of the
public service commission was held
at Chase's hall Tuesday to con-
slider the matter. The commits
sion was represented by Walter A.
Dutton Of Hardwick, its chairman;
William r. Warner of Vergennes;
and Neil d. Clawson of Brattle-
boro, its clerk. The water system
was represented by N. A. Norton
of Lyndonville and the patrons by
Guy w. Hill of St. Johnsbury.
As justification for the pro
posed increase in rates. Mr. Far

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1e.-"The
ball players who are charged with
creating a riot in the South Phillies
park Thursday night will be meted
punishment to fit their offense."
George p. Cartright. president OF
the Philadelphia Baseball Associa-
ton. in reviewing yesterday the case
Of the Chester players who swung
fists al umpires and spectators in
Thursdays mob at South Phillies'
Park. was emphatic in making this
statement.
Under the ruling OF the associa-
tlon Cartright is empowered to take
whatever action he sees ft without
first hearing the players or consult
ing the board. Instead. he prefers
10 give the players an opportunity OF
stating, their side at a meeting of the
board Monday night.
Striking an official Is the unpar-
donable sin of baseball" said Cart
right. "and we cannot afford TO let
this incident pass unnotlced. It Is
detrimental to interests Of semipro
ball. We shall not make examples
OF the players. but their punishment
may be severe. Nothing other than
the good OF the sport will influence
