Government, Rutland official
Declares

Rutland, July Whether or not
Rutland railroad employees will walk
out this morning could not be ascer-
tanned at late hour last night. the
union leaders awaiting last-minute
orders from headquarters on which
they would build their actions.
A circular was issued yesterday
from the Office of George T. Jarvis,
vice president and general manager
Of the road, expressing the hope that
the employees would remain at their
duties as strike, II was pointed out
meant suffering for both employees
and employers.
Manager Jarvis letter follows:
1T is reported that a strike Is to
be called effective tomorrow. or on
some other date in the near future,
which may affect large number OF
our employees.
II sincerely hope there will be no
strike, because when one occurs both
employees and employers always suf.
fer. In this case the issue is not be.
tween the railroads and their employ
es, but involves compliance with the
decisions of the United States rail.
road labor board, which is the tribu.
nal prescribed by law to settle dis.
putes between railroads and EN-.
ployes. Therefore. you must realize
that strike against the decisions OF
this board. would In effect be a strike
against the United States govern.
ment because the board is a part OF
the government and its decisions are
authorized by law.
The decision of tie board two
years ago granting you a substantial
increase In wages and all other deci
sions have been accepted and com
pied with by the Rutland railroad
and we feel that employees should ac
cept the decisions which take effec,
July 1.
After five years OF depression, dur
ing which many OF our employees
have been working on short time OF
even laid off altogether, a genera,
business revival is in sight which
makes II necessary that we PROMPT
ly get our roadway, cars and engines
IN repair, and a program has been
mapped out for that purpose. We
believe 1t is important to both EN-
ployes and the company that this
program should not be interrupted
and that both OF use would suffer
and neither would gain &c a ctrii.,
should occur.
The harmonious and cordial rela

TIE management and employees OF thf

source of pride to me. urge you
10 consider this question very care
fully, and not to take any actor
which will break your splendid rec
ora or loyal service, and which will
involve very grave consequences tc
yourselves. your families and The
,public."

SCHOOL GIRLS TENNIS
Miss Eleanor Rob ms Gives Prize to
Her Opponent.

More rainy weather has again
pushed the completion OF the School
Girls tennis matches to this late
date. OF the eleven girls paired for
semi-hnals, only eight completed be-
cause OF inability OF some to meet
appointments changed again and
again because of the rain.
The eight players drew for
matches Thursday morning as fol
lows: Cecile Rousseau VS. Eleanor
Robins, Agnes Jackson va Estele
Bennett, Mary slakshober vs.. Flea
nor Sears, Ceclle Liberty VS.. Alma
Wen.
In these matches the Junior high
girls had little chance OF winning
with the older opponents as the
drawings fated in each case. AlmTl
Wien, however, led against her oppol
ent In closely contested three-se
match.
The winners Of semi-hnals were i,s
follows: Alma Wen, Mary Stakeholder
Agnes Jackson and Eleanor Robin 8
Drawing for finals were, Alma Wien
VS.. Mary Stakeholder and Eleanor
Robins VS.. Agnes Jackson.
These games were played In spas
modic attempts between showers,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Rain
caused another holding off for the
final match until Monday when the
winners, Alma Wen and Eleanor
Robins, completed in two set match
won by Miss Robins. Sets were 6-3
6-low.
A beautiful Lakeside model, Spald-
ing racket presented by Miss Helen

ready possessed a fine racquet she
wished to have the prize turned over
to her very splendid opponent which
was done. Miss Robins is satisfied
with the sport of playing and win
ming. This sportsmanship is GER
tainly commendable.
The racquet is on display In the
window at Griswolds store and is a
splendid prize and much to be de-
sired.

FIREMEN's FIELD DAY
Base Ball Games and Fireworks,
Firecrackers, Golf and
Dancing =

Bennington Is prepared to celebrate
the glorious approaching Fourth. 'L,o-
cal patriotic orders and the Associa-
ton OF Firemen have been planning
on gala field day to be held on the
public streets and at Morgan Park.
Beginning with dancing, fireworks
and band concert this evening the
activities will extend throughout to-
morrow with a muster, ball game be-
tween the Firemen and Holy Name
team, a carnival, athletic events and
water fights. The public is cordially
invited to all these demonstrations.
North and south, from coast to
coast, metropolis and hamlet alike
will sound with noise, parade and
music Everywhere the stars and
stripes will float upon the breeze.
America Is on the eve Of her great
est national holiday. For It was July
4. 1776, that the, Declaration OF Inde-
pendence was signed and the people
Of the country made forever unmis'
taxable their intention to sever their
dependent connection upon parent
country and become OF themselves a
new and integral people. SO in a
word, July Is the birthday Of this
Union, and rightly the people who
compose 1t, honor the day In eve-y
manner fitting.
After working faithfully for the past
two months the Bennington Firemen
are ready to display their wares at
their first field day to be held tomor-
row at Morgan Park. The fun starts
tonight when the Firemen parade
from the corner of Main and North to
Morgan Park and officially open the
celebration with band concert and
dancing on the platform that has been
constructed on the field.
There will be plenty of fun for old
and young on the midway There will
also be display of fireworks to help
keep everybody good natHred.
| Tomorrow at $3.50 the baseball game
between the Firemen's team OF the
Twilight league and the Holy Name
Team promises to be pretty fast. In
the afternoon the athletic sports will
take place also vaudeville acts on the
platfom and a water fight between
teams from the Hoosick Falls Fire
Dept and team from the Bennington
Firn Department. This promises to be-
hair raising contest as the boys
from Hoosick Falls are experienced in
this line and the Bennington boys will
have to watch their step closely in or
| der to win.
In the evening there will also be
dancing and one Of the best displays
Of fireworks seen in Bennington In
many years. In fact Mr.. Griswold
states that it will be the best that can
be secured at this time.
There will be no charge or admis-
sion on the nights OF July 3rd or 4th.
In the afternoon the admission VIII
be soc for adults. children will DE ad-
mitted free. The only entrance gate
will be on Stafford St., and as Firemen
are going to patrol the grounds both
day and night no one will be allowed
to climb the fences.

III. G. Wells Is known In Europe

The speaker was stephen Lauzanne,

"Wells reminds me of the cam

to be married. When he came to the
church on the wedding morning he
warned the minister beforehand that
he didn't want any fuss.
HE consented, however, to station
himself In due form at the flower
decked altar, but as the minister pro-
ceeded with the ritual he got more
and more impatient. Finally, when
he was asked If he, Henry, did take
this woman, Jane, to be his lawful

snort before the question was half
through, and then turned to the con-
gregation and sal1 In loud, jeering
voice:

George w. Perry and Family Stopped
For Brief Rest Period In
Benninqton

Mr. and Mrs. George w. Perry and
son and daughter, former residents
Of Claremont, N. H., but lately of Los
Angeles, Cal, spent the weekend In
Bennington for rest-up, as they
made the entire trip east by automo
bile and needless to say, were consid
erably fatigued by the long journey.
he Perrys left California in their
touring car about tie middle of May.
They stayed four weeks at Colorado
Springs, Col, so that their actual
travelling time was approximately
Is days. and the average journey per
day better than ESQ miles.
The first lap from Los Angeles to
Williams, AriS. a distance Of 525
miles, was made without a. halt or
rest save to fill up with gas, oil and
water. This run included crossing
the Mojave desert which they did al
night in order to avoid the terrific
heat when the sun is high.
Asked about the condition Of th'
roads, Mr. Perry says, 1--WE came by
way of Pixies Peeak ocean to ocear
highway and sorry to say tha
much of the going is pretty poor
Many time we were held up by cars
mired in the mud or out of the roaC
in the sand. Coming across one o
the Indian reservations in Arizona
we ourselves, got stuck in the stick!

way lies through Chicago.
When we return, which we are Ii
able to do, perhaps next year, be
cause all of us think that there i
no country in America like CalfoI

route but is considered by far tn
best of the many highways tried b.
