G. A. R. Celebrates
. }
With The W. R. C.
v
The W. R. C. and Post 14 met at;
the W. R, C. Hall Wednesday, April
27, to commemorate the birthday of
U! S. Grant and the birthdays of
those of the Corps whose birthdays
come n the present quarter, and also |
included G. A. R. Day. This was
April 6th but was put over to thisl
time, thus combining several good,‘
things in one harmonious whole.
The Sons of Veterans were also rep-i
resnted. At 3 o'clock p. m. Mrs.
R. H. Ball chairman of the Program
committee, called the meeting to or
der and the following program was
presented., At the tap of the gavel
the audience arose and joined in
singing America. Comrade Nelson,
Post Chaplain, led in prayer. The
song, “Battle Hymn of the Republic”
was sung with a vim. The chairman
gave a brief outline of the reason of
our meeting today.
A paper entitled, “A Short Sketch
of U. S, Grant” was read by Mrs.
Rayner. ;
Comrale Geo. Whtman was at his
best in his talk on “The G. A. R.”,
giving an outline of its beginning, its
spread and the power all over the
iand. Comng on down to the pres
ent time in heartfelt stirring words
he drew a word picture of the aged
comrades ag they listen for the last
Roll Call. Tears fcre very near as
he spoke of the comrades as one by
one, they answer the roll call and
pass to the other side in the final re
view before the Great Commander
of the Universe. A patriotic solo, by
Mrs, Nan Graham, with violin and
organ accompaniment was enjoyed
very much. [lts title “The Starry
Banner” endeared it to the hearers.
A patriotic recitation by Cap l,in-’
nemar was a treat. He will be an|
orator some day. / l
Rev., Strawn of the Christian |
church gave an cloquent and telling
address, telling of the life of U. S.
Grant. While only 7 years of age
he was at work, somectimes doing
cre thing scmetines another, This
wonlerful boy became the head of
the U, S. Army and saved the day,
when ‘it seemed as though the Union
was almost tottering. - He became
one of the greatest commanders' of
the world; and America is proud to
call him her son. The speaker closed
with a brief review of Grant's kindly
_mature.
Comrade Hill was called on to re
peat the song, sang by him here a
few days ago at the G. A. R. Depar
ment meeting held here. We all
enjoyed it very much.
This ended the program. The com
rades and ladies were invited to the
lower hall to arm themselves with
suitable weapons with which to rout
the enemy, viz: The good things pro
vided by the ladies of the Corps,
How the family coffee pot groaned
ag cup~after cup of that sustaining
beveragesawas emptied. Amid much
talk and laughter the enemy was van
quished and soon the dishses washed.
The banquet hall was deserted by all
except a bright cyed mouse who
crept out to nibble at the crumbs
That fell from the tables.

(Continued From Page 1)
what I understand to be the situa
tion. During the latter part of the
year 1920 or during the early part of
the year 1921, a dispute arose be
tween the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Ry. and its employes re
specting a proposed reduction in
wages, and this dispute was one over
which the Railroad Labor Board has
jurisdiction under the law and ac
tually assumed that jarisdiction. My
view of the Transportation Act is
that under such circumstances thei
railroads must continue to pay the
¥ fiblished wages at the time thel
dispute arose until the labor hoar(li
decides the dispute. I have b‘ccn[
advised that the Atlanta, Birming-|
ham and Atiantic Ry. claim that itl
had not the money to pay thesvl
wages; and of course if it had notl
the money it could not pay. }
You state that you made a proposi- |
tion to the Manager or receiver as]
follows: !
“Pay the wages as designated |;_,"|
the court in U.-S. cuerrncy and give |
receivers certificates for the diff(:r‘l
ence between that amount and the
amount decided by the board until‘
such time as quvst/}nn of a readjust
ment of wages should take place ei
ther by the board or through con
gressional action.” ‘
I know nothing about any suggest
ed congressional action, nor do I
believe that any such action is con
templated, but under the circumstan
ces which have been stated to me 1
believe it was the duty of the re
ce'ver to keep the men in his employ,
to pay them the wages prevailing at
the time the dispute arose, and if he
was unable to sccure the money with
which to make these payments then
to give the_ men receivers certificates
or other forms of obligations for the
deficiency. This arrangement to con
tinue until the decision of the -labor
board. Tt is obvious, of course, that
the men cannot be compelled to re
ceive anything but money for their
compensation, but if they were will
ing to accept the obligations of the
company or of the receiver mani
fesly the receiver should have act
cepted their offer.
“The chief purpose of this part of
the Transpnrtat!or’x Act was to pre
vent the interruption of transporta
tion, and that can only be done by
preserving an existing status until
the labor bhoard passes upon any dis
pute which may arise between the
railroad cogpanies or their receivers
and the men employed to operate the
properties.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN DRACE
XIV.—VERMONT
HE deriva
\ ,_T tion of
', m\ the pame Ver
f S f‘f; || mont comes
- (571'51,;‘.‘7'1\-5 from the
G c‘é French “verts
OGN/ monts,” or
MAX green moun
tains, and it was likewise the
French who were probably the
first white men to see those lofty
landmarks which se appropri
ately give this state its name.
This -was in July, 1609, when
Champlain made his memorable
voyage up the lake now called
after him.
The first permanent settle
ment was made in 1724 at Brat
tleboro, where the Massachusetts
cglony established a fort as a
buffer against invasion from the
north. The territory used wus
part of what was known as the
“Equivalent Lands,” which were
sold at public auction in Hart
ford for about a farthing an
acre, the proceeds being donated
to Yale college. Shortly after
this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake
Champlain and westward from
New Hampshire. This led to dis
putes between these two colo
nies as to their boundaries. Un
der the leadership of KEthan Al
len New York’s claims were re
sisted by a local military force,
which proudly called themselves
“the Green Mountain Boys.” It
was these same men who played
such a brilliant part during the
Revolution.
In 1777 a formal Constitution
for the state was adopted and
Vermonters are proud of the fact
that theirs was the first of the
states to _prohibit slavery by
constitutional provision. For a
number of years Vermont re
mained as a separate republie,
but in 1791 it was admitted to
the Union as the first addition to
the original thirteen states.
In size Vermont has 9,564
square miles, and its congres
sional delegation numbers four.
It thus casts four votes for the
president.
