CONTROL
OF COAL AND RAIL
Interstate Commerce Commission i'm
Charge - Labor Board to Handle
Strike Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, July 26-The inter-
state commerce commission late yester-
day issued orders declaring public
emergency to exist because of the rail
and coal strikes, and formulated regua-
tions, effective today, under which the
available coal supplies are to be distrib-
uted whore the need is the greatest and
the facilities of all railroads east of the
Mississippi river placed under the direc-
ton of the government.
When the conditions warrant carriers
are directed also, il they cannot handle
all traffic. to give priority to essential
commodities in the following order: Food
for human consumption. feed for live
stock, live stock, perishable products,
coal. coke and fuel OIL
The regulations were comparable in
scope to some of those promulgated by
the government during the war and
served to emphasize the gravity of the
situation confronting the nation. Coal

be sent over the shortest routes regard

ing essentials and hospitals and public
Institutions are TO be served among the

for storage
A spokesman for the White House
said the President was firm in his convic-
tion that protection should be afforded
% men who desired to work in the coal
mines. BHt. be added if it developed
that enough men did not desire to work
under such conditions to produce the
coal essential to the welfare and safety
of the nation other means would be
found
It was indicated that, while proposed
federal commission would have as one
of its duties a thorough investigation
looking to reorganization of the coal
industry. its immediate task would be to
bring about a settlement of the conflict
between operators and workers and get
the mines manned
In outlining the government position
in the railroad strike, administration
spokesmen said it had been decided that
the railroad labor boards statutory au-
thority to determine wages and working
conditions for railroad employees must
be recognized and upheld and that the
attempts to operate mines in spite of the
miners union strike must be continued
until it is demonstrated that not enough
men are willing toswork under state and
federal protection to bring out an ade-
quate tonnage.
1t was added that the administration
was struggling to deal fairly with the
entangled rights of all parties to the
widespread Industrial controversies, but
intended above all to uphold the majesty
and dignity of the government of the
United States.

None of Us have forgotten that Wind
ham county was one of those banner
counties that had its quota filled with
volunteers and had not a man in the first
draft Those who feel the responsibility
for looking after these boys who served
to see that they take advantage of their
privileges especially the American Le-
gion and the Red Cross. desire the as
sistance of not only every ex-seryice boy
but of every man and woman in Wind

every eN-Serylce man IN your town. and
ask him if he knows that his opportun-
ity ends on Aug. 9 of this year; if he
has got his state and federal bonuses if
his teeth were fixed up when he left the
service if he knows that he is still en-
titled to have this done at the expense of
the Veterans Bureau; If he has any
lung, throat, ear, eye or other trouble
that may have started in or been aggra-
waited by the service.
One member of the Legion and one of
the Red Cross interviewed four men in
Halifax last Friday evening who had Is
undiscovered claims. These will be put
through Immediately. These workers
will come to any town in the county and
explain the privileges of the Veterans
Bureau, etc. if a request is sent to the

ENGINEERS BEGIN
BRIDGE SURVEY
SeIectmen and Others Con-
fer at Proposed
New Site
OLD BRIDGE GOING
IN SPITE OF CABLE
Site Favored Would Have Southern Ap-
proach Beginning Near Eaton Place
Believed Cost to Town Can BE
Brought Within Satisfactory Figure

A delegation of BrattIeboro business
men and the selectmen and engineers
for the town and state held a conference
Yesterday afternoon 1T the so-called
"three bridges" relative to the proposed
highway bridge over West river to take
the place of the wooden covered bridge,
which is unsuited to present-day traffic
and is gradually tipping over in spite
of efforts to keep it in position.
Engineer Jasper Draffin of the state
highway department and Engineer
James Il. Helyar of Brattleboro were
present, and Engineer ]. L. Davis of the
state department will come today to
take charge of the survey work.
The desirabiIity of a new bridge was
apparent to all. not merely because of
weakened condition and inadequaey of
the old bridge, but also because it is
impossible, whatever may be done to
strengthen the structure, TO make the
present bridge anything but a weak link
in the main travelled highway system in
this part of the state.
Two years ago last spring the cid
bridge had tipped 50 far to the east on
account of the giving way of some Of
its parts, that an inch wire cable was
attached to it on the west side in an
effort to keep it from tipping farther.
One end was fastened in the ground and
the other end was fastened around a
large timber which was set upright in
side the bridge. The tipDing movement
has continued, however. at the point
where the upright timber IS fastened.
Engineer Draflin said the taut condi-
ton of the cable showed a tremendous
strain upon it.
The conference was not so much to de-
termine the necessity for new bridge.
