NO STRIKE SIGNS
IN BELLOWS FALLS
Surface Conditions Normal
Il. P. Company Runs
Seven Machines
ABOUT 300 MEN
ON IT'S PAYROLL
No Activity by Champlain Realty Co. on
Account of Large Surplus of Pulp
Wood and Unstable Conditions - No
Log Drive This Season.

While the number of employees at the
International Paper Co.'S mills in Bel
lows Falls is not yet back TO what it
was before the strike last May, condi-
tions are improving all the time and at
present over 300 hands are employed
Seven. of the 10 machines are in opera
ton, with a prospect that others will
be started before long. At the different
plants of the company from 1,20O to L.
400 tons a day are being manufactured,
which is around 30 per cent of the nor
NAL output
So far as outward conditions are con
cerned there are now no signs of strike
in Bellows Falls. BY court injunction
the strikers have ceased their daily
street parades of protest. No violent acts
Or annoyances on the part of strikers
are reported, and everything is quiet
Judge Frank L. Fish has not announced
any date for hearing on the question
Of making permanent the injunction or
der against street paradeS and other mat
ters of conduct on the part of strikers
which the international Paper Co. conf
planned of recently.
Within comparatively short time
this country has received importations of
German, Swedish and Danish newsprint
paper which is selling at a low price, but
the American manufacturers regard it
as much below the American product
IN quality.
There has been no activity in this sec
ton for some time by the ChampIain Re
atty Co., which supplies a large amount
f pulpwood to the International Paper
Co
This is due to the fact that the Paper
Co. has large supplies on hand and that
business conditions are unsettled No
pulpWGod has been cut in the West River
valley, so there will be no drive down
West river this spring This is a condi-
tion that is general throughout the state.
The drive which came down from Bel
lows Falls last fall on account of the
strike and the closing of the Bellows
Falls mills has been rossed and bolted
and piled up at the rossing mill in Hins-
dale, and there is no activity at that mill
at present
The Champlain Realty Co some time
ago bought the Emporium Lumber Co.'S
holdings in Stratton. which constitute
about the last of the virgin timber tracts
in southern Vermont. and the timber will
be cut when conditions return to normal.

PHILAD d ELPHIA. May 17.-Upon
the face OF the latest available re-
turns. leaders of the Republican
machine refused today TO concede
that Clifford Pinchot. one time a
Roosevelt Progressive. had won the
Republican gubernatorial nomins-
ton as result OF yesterdays close
ly contested primary election.
1t was claimed at the office CT
Attorney General George +. Altet,
Pinchots opponent, that returns
from two thirds of the state show
ed that Alter was still leading
Pinchot by majority of at least
$4,000.
Pinchot and his spokesmen ap-
peared equally confident or ulti-
mate victory. however. and insisted
that when all the votes were count
ed that he would win by majority
of not less than 10000.
Latest available figures from neu-
trail sources or the Republican CUB
ernatolial contest show that SOL
districts out of 1854 in the state
give Alter 4es.120 and Pinchot 3s2.-
757-a majority for Alter of 25.363.

INDIANA GARDENS
OWNER SUES CITY

Michael Madura. proprietor of the
Indiana Gardens at Forsyth corners.
Robertsdale, has at last filed his
suit for damages against the City
of Hammond which he promised
some time agc because of the de-
struction of his skating rink and
pleasure resort by fire the morning
of February l. The suit. asking for
$40. 900 damages, was filed today in
the Superior court OF Hammond by
Attorney W. j. Whinery.
Madura charges negligence on the
part of the city in not Inspecting
fire hydrants during cold weather.
When the rkating rink caught fire
at o'clock the morning of Febru-
airy l. the Rohertsdale department
responded. The fire fighters were
helpless because the plug which
they tapped near the scene of the
fire was found to be frozen and
broken.
Madura renders a bill of property
which he lost in the fire. 1t in
cIudes organ, skates, orchestra
stand electric lights etc, and
totals s7,6s5.
