about 5000 operatives, almost one
quarter OF the number of textile work
ers in the city Recently the mills
were thrown open, but according to
strikers, only small numbers Of work
crs have returned. Mill officials have
refused to estimate the number Of
workers employed.
The One Big Union, which was not
invited to to-day's conference, called
a meeting in the city hall later in the
day, to which representatives of the
Pacific mills were invited, Ben Legere,
head of the organization, said. Le-

LIGHTNING STRUCK HOUSE
But Did Not Set Fire--woman on a
Couch Slightly Shocked.

The fire truck and the light chemical
truck responded yesterday afternoon
TO a telephone call from 2 Long street,
residence of the families Of Albert
Bilodeau and Fred Langevin, but it
was found that there was no sign Of a
condagration, bolt of lightning being
TO blame for the suspicion of fire. The
lightning struck the chimney of the
house and ripped several Bricks from
the top of the chimney and then went
down through, blowing off chimney
cap in one of the rooms occupied by
the Bilodeau family. As the lightning
entered the room it struck metal
couch and from there went to the car
pet, ripping it into several pieces. The
cratic bolt finally went to the cellar,
where several bricks were loosened
from the foundation OF the chimney.
Some of the wall paper was singed, but
all signs of fire were absent.
Mrs. Lavevin and baby were lying
down at the time and both felt slight
shock, although Mrs. Langevin did not
hear the crash as she is deaf. Her
cries summoned Alex. Anderson, who
lives across the street and who imme-
diately called the fire department.
The lightning appeared to divide 1t
self, as a transformer which is located
in back Of Goddard seminary and
which is in line with the house on Long
street. was struck and damaged at the
same time.

COAL OUTLOOK
IS BRIGHTER
With Conference in Central
Competitive Field Called
For Monday
OFFICIALS AWAIT
THE OUTCOME
If Cleveland Conference
Fails Harding May Try
Something Drastic

Chicago, Aug. 5.-With possibility
of peace in sight in the coal strike
federal and state officials to-day were
Withholding action calculated to bring
about a speedy resumption Of produc-
tion, but continued preparations for
such contingency should the project
ed settlement plans fail
The meeting Monday in Cleveland
of John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers and other union
chiefs, with representatives of coal op-
orators in the central competitive
fields, was looked on as the final in
dependent peace effort of the warning
factions. It was believed generally
here that should the Cleveland confer
ence fail, President Harding would
take some drastic action toward end
ing the tie-up Of mines.
Illinois operators were awaiting de-
velopments in the meeting, believing
that action of the proposal made by
them last night would depend largely
upon the outcome Of the parley. The
Illinois producers offered to pay the
old wage scale and make IL effective
until March 81, 1923. leaving the whole
matter of wages and working condi-
tions to board Of arbitration made
up Of disinterested persons mutually
agreed on or appointed by President
Harding.
South Dakota was added to the list
of states which face serious fuel
shortage this winter. The state fuel
said there was on hand
a supply about ten per cent of nor
NAL.

before him the critical situation re-
sulting from the shopmen's strike.
In a message TO the representatives
authorizing them 10 discuss with the
president questions at issue, IL is
pointed out that discomfort is rapidly
growing among the membership Of the
three organizations and il is the belief
of the leaders that unless the strike
is settled, the brotherhoods will in
evitably be drawn into the contro-
versy.
Constant aggrsvation of conditions
and the refusal Of the railroad execu-
tives TO accept proposals of the pres
ident for compromise settlement of
pending questions are making the sit
uation infinitely more difficult TO han
die" the message states.
"The situation has reached a point
where unless something is done it will
be hard il not impossible TO keep the
brotherhoods from being involved" d.
B. Robertson, president Of the fremen
and enginemen. declared. Reports
continually come to US of armed
guards endangering the lives Of our
men. Unless something is done for
our men We viii have to take action

FRANCE WILL PUNISH
GERMANY FOR FAILURE
TO PAYP PER- WAR DEBTS
SENATE TO TRY AGAIV
TO RUSH TARIFF
But Senator Lenroot Gives Out Notice
That He Is Opposed to
Such Action.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.--AnotheI
effort to obtain unanimous consent
agreement for final vote on the tar
iff bill on Aug. II was to be made to-
day in the Senate by Republican and
Democratic leaders. Senator Lenroot,
Republican, Wisconsin, said, however,
he still was opposed to any such agree
ment, at least until committee amend
ments to the measure had been acted
upon.
The Wisconsin senator had pending
an agreement for curtailment Of de-
bate and he was hopeful that this
would be accepted. His proposition
was to eonfne discussion strictly to
the tariff and that beginning Aug. Il
senators be limited to one hour on
amendments and the bill. Under the
Democratic proposal put forward by
Senator Cummings of North Carolina,
the Senate would start at 10 a. m.
Thursday, Aug. IL, to vote, without
further debate, ON any amendment
pending and then on the bill itself.
Beginning to-day the debate would
be confined to the tariff.
After III a. m. Aug. IL, no senator
could speak longer than Is minutes on
any amendment or motion and longer
than 80 minutes on the bill.
The Republican counter proposal,
pua forward by Senator McCmnber of
North Dakota, in charge of the bill, is
identical with the Democratic propo-
sition except that beginning at Il a.
M, on Aug. IL, no senator could speak
more than once and not longer than
Is minutes on an amendment or more
than ten minutes on the bill.

JULY RED CROSS WORK.
Nurse Made 2o7 Visits During the
Month.

The work of Mrs. Kehoe. the Red
Cross nurse in Barre, for the month OF
July is summed up in the following
Active cases, III; visits TO such cases
l0T; baby and children's conferences,
81 children weighed and measured, lis.
Many mothers attend the conferences
but is is desired that many more moth
ers do so Every mother and child IS
welcome. The work is more satisfact-
ory when the mothers come with their
children. Better results are accom-
plished The nurse frequently gets re-
suits because she is not with them all
the time. Every mother knows what
task ii is to 20 over the same thing
every day The nurse is someone new
and gains the children's attention
quickly
One little girl, under six and under
weight, would eat candy and was not
able to eat the food that would build
tissue and allow for growth. This lit
tie girl promised the Red Cross nurse
not 10 eat candy for week. When
she was weighed week later she had
gained half a pound
Have you stopped TO think how much
can be accomplished and how much
needs to be accomplished Those who
pay 81 to the Red Cross during the
roll call are making this work possi-
Bile. II is your efforts and your local
chapter that makes it possible for Barre
to have a public health nurse. For that
reason it is not charity work. 1t is com
munity work. You provide for the pre-
ventive work and the fee You pay for
nursing visits covers the cost of that
visit.
Where there is Unemployment or 9th
er reasons the nurse collects but q
small fee or none, as she is the best
Judge of the family's ability to pay.
This does not make the work charity.
Frequently. when times are better,
those families will pay for the visits
made.
The Red Cross nurse Also does the
work. The fees collected
and the money from the Metropolitan
do not cover more than one-fourth the
expense Of carrying on this work. Much
depends upon each years roll call,
which provides for the most important
part, the preventive work
