Talk Of Mill
Merger at Lewiston

According to report from Lewis
ton the AndrosCoggIn Mills VIII merge
with the Hill Mill mailing one big
mill. 4 meeting was held in Boston
two months ago in regard to this idea
and the whole subject was canvassed
at that time. Since then two other
meetings have been held. According
to the report received, one man will be
treasurer of the two mills and all Of
the goods Will be merChandised
through one selling house as of one
plant under the same idea as tho
Amoskeag at Manchester with it va
rious plants, all of which were separ-
ate mills at one time.
The report does not say that the
merger is a certainty, but expresses it
as expected" In regard to this plan.
the Cotton and Wool Reporter states.
strong interests have been working
been fairly we'll worked out, but the
body Of the stockholders have not as
vet been communicated with, nor has
the plan of consolidation been unfold
ed. 1t contemplates of course the
setting of a fair value of the shares
of each mill and the exchange or the
consolidation value OF the two"
L. is understood that many people in
Lewiston do not look with favor upon
this consolidation. and it would nat
urallv IN the end result in the CONSOLE
dalton of the office forces; the agent
and the administration forces in gem
eral.
Concerning the plants. the Cotton
and Wool Reporter says: The Hill
Mil is a good property. 1t has been
decried altogether too much lately. The
is in fine condition physically and it
has a fair working capital of about
half a million dollars or Whereabouts
on its power rl,nt and mill.
THE fair basis on which to combine
these two mills is for the Hill to in
crease its capital by a 200 per cent.
stock dividend to $2,500,0 00. The cap
ital of the Hill is 1900 shares. but 81 ,
shares are uniSsued, so a 200 per cent.
stock dividend will bring the capital
of the Hill UP e S2.1S6, 400 This could
he made an evrr figure of exactly So
G00,0 900 by the Hill buying more of its
stock at the present low prices so that
200 per cent stock dividend would
make just an event 100000 of cap
ita!;zation."

MillinOcket Game
Ends in Big Row

Millinocket. June 29-East Mill

Millinocket met Tuesday afternoon
for the second bout of the season.
East Millinocket having taken the
first game. Red Derocher for the
home team and Jack Jowett for the
visitors both got something of a
mauling. Red having the more
trouble. The fielding on either side
wasn't up to pitch.
East Millinocket went in for the
first half of the ninth on the short
end OF an So score which wasn't a
diSCouraging situation the way The
game was going and things looked
bright when Kenyon led off with a
double. This started great excite
ment among the East Millinochct
rOoterS who went frantic when Nal
ley smashed at shortstop. Denault
who pegged to Joe Smith al third to
get Kenyon. Smith slapped the ball
on the runner who slid into the bag
Umpire Gilman said that Kenyon
was out whereupon Capt Reynolds
put up a loud protest, claiming that
Kenyon was safe.
A wrangle followed and Reynolds
told his men to pick up their bats
and go home. I mpire Gilman pulled
the watch and when there were no
signs Of more play declared the
game forfeited to Millinockct. The
incident will not help the tenseness
of the situation when these two
teams play again. According to dis
interested spectators it was a close
play at third and the umpire was
proba bly, right.

Hold Up Strike Order
Continued from Page One)

from the labor board to attend a
conference of union leaders and rail-
road executives in Chicago tomor-
row.
All but a few short lines would
have been affected.
Tabulation of all strike ballots re-
ceived here in the national referen-
dunn was completed this afternoon
and showed the union had voted
22S, $40 to 24,O76 in favor of suspen-
sion of work. A total of 255,614
votes were cast, but 1.2SS were void
and thrown out.
1t was estimated that approx
mately 10000 are yet to come in, but
as it was pointed out these could not
change the result. None union
maintenance men, as we'll is those
within the organization participated
in the balloting.
In formal statement announcing
the result of the vote, explaining
why the strike order was temporar-
lily up, President Cradle called atten-
ton to the board demand that con-
ditions remain in status quo. and
said he interpreted this to mean
that the railroads are ordered TO
maintain the present wage rates in
effect until after the completion of
this hearing as well as ordering the
chief executives of the various or
CARNATIONS to hold their men at
work.
President Cradle told the Asso-
ciated Press that while he would not
attempt to forecast the possible re-
suit tomorrow's meeting. the union
leaders would stand firm for some
definite assurance"
We don't want any of this we
hope to do this and we hore to do
that" he asserted. The only main
tenance men exempted in the pro-
posed strike order were railroad
crossing flagmen and drawbridge
tenders, union officials declared that
for the safety of the travelling pub
lie it was realized crossing guards
would have to be maintained. and
that it was necessary to keep men on
draw bridges in order not to cripple
water transportation.
