dent Harding was declared yesterday

given precedence in the Senate over
the soldiers bonus.
Although ii was made clear that the

Stowe, April l5.--The $4,000 Gre.
which destroyed the plant Of the Stowe
Butter Package Co. and the shop of
the 6reen Mountain Violin Co. at the
lower village, continued to burn all
last night and was still famiag up
in spots this morning. However, the
danger to surrounding buildings which
| had been imminent last night was en-
tirely removed to-day.
THE fire was one Of the most seeero
sustained BY Stowe recently because
|it threw about sixty persons out of
employment in addition to the large
financial loss. The Butter Package CO.
announced to day that, though handi-
capped, il win be ready to fill orders
as usual.
What caused the fire TO start at s:lt,
last evening just after the men had
left the plant is not known definitely.

Il series Of connected buildings, burned
fast, once the flames got started: and
the combined efforts of the 1remen
from Stowe, Waterbury and Morris
Vile, were Of no avail in saving tho
buildings and valuable contents. Tho
plant was located outside Of the fire
district of Stowe so that the nearest
hydrant was so rods away. There .
WAS little pressure back Of the hose
hitched to this hydrant, so that bucket
brigades were organized.
These bucket brigades were largely
responsible for saving houses i'm the
vicinity Of the mill and the wooden
bridge over the Waterbury river. The
latter caught fire at times but the
flames were extinguished. The Wa
terburv firemen remained until mid
night, when further spread of the fire
seemed to be impossible

"A BELGIAN TOWN,

Springfield, Ill., April H.. Disclaim
ing responsibility of the miner for 'sthe
ills Of the coal industry" John D
Lewis, president Of the United Mine
Workers of America, told the Midday
Luncheon club here to-day that ''the
principles at. issue in this great
strike will not be compromised by the
mine workers.
~The dream Of the coal operators
he said, that the miners will engage
in multiplicity Of conferences and
negotiate Independent district agree
meDts will not matcrialize.'
Mr.. Lewis said such negotiations
would lr like treating patients )
organic troubles BY applying healing
lotions to his extremities.'
Reyerting 10 the mine workers aims,
he said
1T il poor industrial leadership
that can conceive industrial improve
ment only through debased manhood
and pauper level of existence
"1he strike he continued is the
natural sequence OF the organized eff
fort OF the local operator to beat the
miners backward TO the level of SUBJ
sistence in the non-union fields. The
miners viii not retaliate. The human
values involved are OF infinitely greater
than the profit margins of
the operators.
Approximately FIVE millions of the
population OF our nation are directly
dependent upon the mining industry
and ii is Gods win that the children Of
mining camps be fed. clothed and
sheltered to the same degree as the
,hildrcn of other citizens.

ENDURANCE FIGHT
ON TARIFF BILL
It Will Take Close to Two Months
Work to Put Bill Through
Senate.

Washington, d. G., April l5.-The
Forthcoming tariff bill fight in the
Senate promises to resolve itself into
an endurance contest.
With many thousands Of rates and
hundreds Of amendments to be con-
sidered those in charge Of the measure
estimate that alta best it will take
close to two months Of steady work to
put the bill through.
Republican leaders are preparing for
the struggle. A call went out to-day to
majority senatorsr for party confer
ence next Tuesday.
Whether the tariff bill can be en-
acted at this session is regarded by
many at the capitol as doubtful. Were
this any but election year they would
anticipate difficulty in holding Con-
gress in Washington to enact II, but
many members. and more particularly
those OF the House, desire to be Back
home during the campaign.
There Is some talk now about a
recess Of sixty days after the Senate
acts on the bill
There are those among the Republic
cans who do not look with favor upon
the enactment Of a tariff bill just be-
fore elections because they say, there
always is dissatisfaction over any
tariff measure.
The Senate Is facing crush Of high
" important business including be
sides the tariff, the soldiers bonus, the
army, navy and other appropriation
bills and the ship subsidy measure.
While the tariff is to be called up next
Thursday, twill have to be laid aside
from time to time f1 some Of the
otler important bills.
