To Keep Down Vote in
Vermont Statewide
p 54ry
COUNT CONTESTS
ca s. g SOME STIR
Votip e sgan All Over the
State at Noon and Will
End at s

A heavy downpoiir Of rain during the
entire morning had tendency to keep
down the vote in to-day's primary in
Vermont to nominate candidates for
congressional state, county and local
Offices. The voting began in lie cities
and towns of the state at noon, at
which time the rain had ceased falling
but with lowering clouds threatening
to deposit more water before the day
was over The polls close at O'Clock
this evening
Besides the rain, there was another
reason to keep down the vote; and that
was the general apathy over the nonli-
nations for the state tickets. The only
contest was over the governorship nom
ination by the Republicans, the two as
pirants being Redfeld Proctor of Proc
tor and Lieut. Gov. Abram w Foote Of
Cornwall; and their campaigns had
been conducted so quietly that little
enthusiasm was stirred up
Nominations for United States sena-
tor and for representative in Congress
were to be made without opposition.
Frank L. Greene Of ST. Albans being
the Republican candidate for senator
and Frederick G. Fleetwood Jf Morris
vile and Porter H. Dale of Brighton
being the aspirants for the House nom
nations in the first and second dis
tricts, respectively.
The Democrats going to the polls to-
day simply went through ratification
program, the congressional, state and
most of the county officers having but
a single candidate for each office
The lone factor expected to prevent
the primary from being very meagre-
ly participated in was the fight in sew
eral counties for various county offices.
In Caledonia. Chittenden, Rutland.
Windsor and Windhafn coun-
ties there were several candidates for
the more important Offices and in few
instances the campaigning had been
very brisk for the past week or more.
This was particularly true in Wash
ington county where the officers Of
state senator, sheriff and Judge OF pro-
bate were in dispute.
IN very many cities and towns the
for town representatives
were umcontested. that situation fur-
ther having tendency to keep the to-
Ial vote of the state down in spite of
he more general participation in the
voting by the women.

STRIKERS CRITICAL.
Proposed to Scrutinize Offer Before Ac-
cepting.

Pawtucket, r. l., Sept. H. Before
accepting the offer Of the Lonsdale
company to restore wages in the Lin
coin bleachery, the number four and
the Ann and Hope mills in Lonsdale,
and mills in Berkeley and Ashton, the
strikers have decided to get a detailed
statement Of wage rates and hours Of
labor. A committee has been appoint
ed to wait on the company's officials
to-day and to report at meeting Of
strikers tonight.
John @. Ames, treasurer of the Ions
dale company, announced last night
that the wage scale in effect on Jan.
] would be restored in the mills named.
The company was running its mills on
a as hour schedule before the strike
and labor leaders believe that this
schedule will be maintained, but they
desire to have this and other mat
ters definitely cleared before resum-
ing work.
Employees of the Berkeley mill were
the first in the state to strike after
the announcement of wage reduction
of 20 per cent was made by number
'of mill owners in the week Of Jan. 10.
Employees of other mills quickly fol-
lowed until all the mills where reduc-
tions we're announced, were affected.
The Lonsdale company mills were
forced to close, and although several
attempts have been made to reopen,
the response of workers has been dis
couraging to the mill owners.
Some Of the other mills, especially
those in Pawtucket, had better success
and are now able to run at least part
of their plants on the reduced wage
scale
Labor leaders expect the Pawtucket
mill soon viii follow in line with the
Lonsdale company, but no announce
ment Of their doing so has yet been
made About 1900 persons are en-
ployed in the mills controlled by the
LonsdaIe company in the Blackstone
valley

LOWER LEVEL
THAN PAYNE
ALDRICH LAW
But Considerably Above
the Level of the Demo
cratic Underwood Law
Which Is Now in Force
Bill Would Supplant I'm
derwood and Emergency
Laws

Washington, d. G.. Sept. II tBy thu
Associated Press) s).--The administration
tariff bill, as finally perfected in con
ference, was presented to-day in the
House, and the conference report on II
carrying the signatures Of the Repub'
ican managers, viii be called up TO-
morrow with the expectation that il
will be disposed of not later than
Thursday. The measure then will 90 to
the Senate, but because of opposition
to the dye embargo and other provis-
ions. action there may be delayed a
week or more
As now framed. the bill is estimated
roughly by the experts to raise ap-
proximately S4O0,000O00 in revenue on
the basis of the present volume of the
nations import trade. The level Of its
rates. according to the experts is slight
ly below the level in the Payne Aldrich
bill. the last Republican protective tar
iff, but is considerably above the level
Of the Democratic Underwood law now
in force.
The bill will become effective imme-
diately after President Harding signs
IL, replacing both the Underwood and
emergency tariff acts. 1t Is designed to
large extent, its trainers have said,
to meet the unusual world economic
situation and more particularly to pro-
tect American industries from the low
cost industries in Germany and the
countries carved out of Austria Hun
gary.
Proponents have defended the tariff
in the long Senate discussion of it as
the best balanced" protective tariff
bill ever written and the first such
measure to accord agriculture a proper
need Of protection.
Democratic opponents, on the other
hand, have assailed it as the most ''ini-
quitous" tariff ever presented to the
American Congress. as certain to in
crease the cost of living by several bill
lions of dollars a year and as a vehi-
Gle to enable American manufacturers
to continue war prices.
Both Republicans and Democrats will
take the fight over the bill TO the
country in the coming political cam
paign. The Democrats plan especially
to center their fire on the wool, sugar
and dye provisions and on the proposed
taxes on foodstuffs and commodities,
in common use in the household and |
on the farm
