hogs employed in the Kennebec bridge

ton of the others. This is the second
fatality to occur on the bridge job
and it has been estimated by authori-
ties that 20 will go before the huge
bridge is completed. The men were

were unable to stand the pressure APP

He was born in Canterbury, N. B.. a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Humphrey Price.
He was a veteran of the World War,
having participated in many notable
engagements overseas for three years
and was awarded many medals for
bravery. He was q member OF the
Great War Veterans of Canada, an or
ganization similar to the American
Legion in the United States. He saw
three years of active service on Euro

The measure, embodying the es-

Objectionable provisions, was offered
by Senator McNary, Republican, of
Oregon, father of the bill which has
weathered two years of stormy
wrangling and the new chairman of
the senate agricultural committee.
A companion bill was turned over
to Representative Purnell, Republic

Fuller, Democrat, of South Carolina,
with a request from senate farm
leaders that they introduce it jointly,
thus indicating support from the
three great farming regions-far
