Sunday Blue Law
Test in Vermont

Rutland, VT, May 20.-The Sun
day blue laws were invoked here to-
day when Wallace H. Waite. a me-
chanic, was arrested on the charge
of disturbing the peace of the Sab
bath by hammering and saving.
The complaint was made by a neigh
Dor. Mr.. Waite informed Grand
Juror Linley S. Squires. who made
out the warrant. that he would not
plead guilty to breaking any law by
doing what scores of people in town
do every Sunday and he will fight
the case. States Attorney Charles
f. Novak took issue with Mr..
Squires and said that if Waite was
guilty of breaking the Sabbath, he
himself was. as he washed his auto
last Sunday.

DENY merger OF
CENTRAL PACIFIC.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Washington, May 29.-DiSsolutlon
OF ownership and control of the
Central Pacific Railway by the
Southern Pacific Company was order
ed today by the Supreme Court in
an opinion delivered by Justice Day.
The decision in the case which was
the last of the railroad merger suits
to be before the court held that the
two lines were competitive. Justice
McKenna delivered a short dissent.
The court directed that a decree
be entered severing the control by the
Southern Pacific of the Central Pa
cific by stock ownership or by lease
but in accomplishing that end 50
far as compatible, said the mortgage
lien on the Union Trust Company Of
New York should be protected.
The case had been pending in the
courts since February il. 1914, when
the United States asked the United,
States District court of Utah to re-
strain the two railroads, the Union
Trust Company Of New York and the
directors and officials of the Southern
Pacific under the Sherman anti trust
and the Pacific Railroad acts. The
United States asserted that the lines
of the two railroads constituted COM
petitive systems and added that the
ownership acquired by the Southern
Pacific of a controlling interest in
the Central Pacific be declared un-
lawful.

SEEK STRIKE
SETTLEMENT
| AT Lawrence

Lawrence, Mass, May 29.-Renew-
Ell efforts at settlement of the textile
strike in this city were indicated to-
night in statement issued by Presi-
dent Thomas f. ,McMahon of the
United Textile Workers of America,
after a conference with Organizer
Francis A. German in charge of the
strike here, and a committee of citi-
zens.
If the workers Of the Pacific and
other mills desire settlement they
must attend Il meeting at which
committees will be appointed to con-
Ter with their various employers"
the statement said only repre-
sentatives elected by the workers
will be allowed to go with the COM
mittces. Organized and unOrgauized
workers should get together in an
honest endeavor TO settle their diff
ficulties
There are some men among the
workers of Lawrence who are more
content when troubles are plenty and
whose only desire is to keep the
workers apart. There is a clique Of
! so-called textile labor leaders who
/ claim to have the interest of the mill
workers at heart but who know not
what it is to work in the mills.
| These are using every energy in
fighting those who differ with them
! on questions of organization instead
! Of lighting the employers. Such mon
as these are afraid of the employers
| because they fear their jobs would
be lost in the event Of a settlement.
! Let me repeat that the United
Textile Workers of America believe
IN arbitration and Cancellation and
i VIII use every honorable effort to
| bring the workers and employers to-
gether with the understanding at all
times that the workers themselves
| must have the final voice in any pro-
position that may come to them. no
matter from what source such pro-
| position may come"
| President McMahon tonight re-
| turned to Providence where he said
an important conference on the
| Rhode Island strike situation would
| be held tomorrow. He will come ~
| THIS city again Thursday or FRIDAY
! unless the wool schedule comes bo-
| lore Congress in which event he will
| go to Washington.

Savage came here three months ago
from Vermont where he had worked
as a lumberjack, and obtained employ
meht at Mcrkclrs farm. Friday night,
according to the farmer, he demanded
his pay. A dispute arose as to the
amount of money due him, and Savage,
Merkell says, drew a dirk and attacked
him. The farmer seized a wagon stake
and chased Savage down the road.

was broken into and several sticks of
dynamite, used by the farmer for
blasting stumps, We're stolen. A short

pigs feed trough, and in the poultry
house.
Articles of food have been taken
from various farnhouscs in the dis
trict, and the police believe Savage is
still hiding in the woods which are
watched day and night.

Way WORKERS
SORE OVER CUT,
want TO STRIKE

Boston, May 29-Heads of main
tenance of way and railway shop
mems unions are meeting with much
difficulty in keeping their men at
work since the railway labor board
announced its vase finding in Chica-
go Sunday, Charles II. Downey, east
ern travelling representative of the
United Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers. announced here to-
day. Mr.. Downey, whose jurisdic-
ton includes all railroads in New
England, the New York Central
lines as far west as Buffalo, and the
Delaware and Hudson, said local
chalrmen on all these lines had in
formed him that the men were eager
to strike
Every effort was being made, rail-
road men said, to keep maintenance
of way men at work until the labor
board should hand down it's decis-
ions on the shop crafts and other
workers.
Yesterdays decision was for the
purpose of forcing fight" Mr.
Downey said, adding that it was di-
rectly opposite to the evidence sub
mitted at the hearings held in Chica-
go April 10 and Is.
1.-THE men have lost all confidence
in the United States Labor Board"
he declared. I'VE proved to every
body. except the labor board, it now
appears. that cut in wages for our
men at this time would be unwar-
ranted. When anybody states that a
man can support and educate a fam
lily of at least five persons on less
than SD week, that person is
either deliberately classifying or max
ing the statement for a purpose.
II can say without hesitation or
doubt that a general walkout of the
members of more than Is big unions
not later than the middle of July is
not only possible. but probable. The
men will repudiate the United States
railway Labor Board and its decis-
ions and awards"
Representative Of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks today sent
the management of the Boston and
Maine railroad to protest against a
recent order of the company cutting
off holiday pay and compelling the
clerks to work Saturday afternoons.
After the conference the executive of
the Union announced that the clerks
would walk out of their Offices at
noon Saturday and would not report
until Monday. 1t was also announced
that an appeal from the order would
be taken to the Railway Labor
board,

MILL OWNERS AGAIN REFUSE
PEACE 0VERTURES LOOKING
TO END OF TEXTILE STRIKE

Concord, \. H., May 29.-After a
conference late today with textile
manufacturers whose plants are af-
fected by the strike, Governor Albert
o. Brown announced that the manu-
facturcrs would not recede from the
terms which they announced early in
February, a 54-hour week and a 20
per cent wage reduction. The strike
in Manchester and other New Hamp-
shire ccnters was called on February
10, after the mill owners had made
public these terms.
Earlier III the day the governor had
conferred with representatives of the
strikers and with officials of mill
towns and cities. 1t was intimated
by d number of strike leaders that
the operatives were willing to accept
q proposal made by State Labor
Commissioner John S. b. Davie for
a return to work on a basis of ass
hour week, the question of wages to
De submitted 10 the state BOARD OIL
Cancellation and Arbitration.
The following is the official state
mcnt given out by Governor Albert
Q. Brown late today:
AN effort was made for a confer
ence between the manufacturers and
the strikers. That failed.
IAN effort was made for arbitra-
ton of allF matters involved. That
did not meet with the favor of either
party.
"A suggestion Of compromise on a
$3.50 basis, i. G. on a basis of 51-hours
per week and one-half of that re-
duction in wages proposed by the
mill owners, commanded no support
in either group.
Then it was suggested that the
mills open from one unit of their
plant, say single room or a single
mill, to afford employment to former
employees who are out on account OF
the strike and who are needy, in
some instances submitting on charity
and desiring to work. This sugges
ton was taken under Amusement hy
the manufacturers who will reply to-
morrow"

EASTERN ROADS
TO ACCEPT CUT
FREIGHT Rates

New York, May 29-The ten per
cent. reduction in freight rates ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, effective July l will be accepted
by the 81 railroads of the eastern divi-
sion, it was decided at special meet
ing of officials of these roads today.
1t also was decided to enter a for
NAL protest against the findings of
the commission that on and after
March /, 1922, the fair return on rail-
road investments, as provided by the
transportation act, shall be "a per
cent There was no consideration OF
wages or passenger rates.
l.. F. Loree, chairman of the cas-
tern presidents conference, said to-
night the conference felt the roads
had no other alternative except to put
the rates into effect without formal
order" Regarding the matter of a
fair return" he said the conference
"believcd this return is lower than is
required by law and will not enable
the railroads to finance themselves to
the extent that they should be able to
do in order to render adequate service
to the public"
While no official action was taken
the personal sentiment of many of the
executives represented at today's
meeting. was decidedly strong for ad-
ditional wage reductions, it was an
nounced. AS expressed by one official,
"tha roads confi1entlv eXnect that the
rest of the 1920 increase will be wiped
out. to offset tho $500, 100000 reduction
in freight Iatcs.'
