minutes after she stranded.
so near was the vessel to dry land

At last night‘s monthly mccting of

brought out that a bill, has been pre-

calling for an entire change in the
management of the town high school.
At present the high school is in charge
of the board of school visitors. but the
new not. tukcs it ollt of the board's
hunllsnnd places it in charge of 6 high

with the approval of the school visi

would bcr butter to have the new com-
mittee consist of five niciilbcrs, in-

Word watched The Sentinel today
that. it was rcpoi'led in lluiibury
this morning that John Covanngli, goo
oral manager of tlic Cl'ofut & Knapp
Company, is about to go to Philadel-
phia to look for 11 new site for the big
local butting plant in the Quaker City.
The report went on to say that. the
company is contemplating a change of
location, on account of the better is-
bor conditions in Philadelphia.
An effort was made to talk with Mr.
Cavnnagh this morning on the subject,
but he had gone to New York. An-
other official of” the company, who was
asked coli'ccniltig the minor. declared
that if it were true he would know of
it but be had not heard of it
it has been persistently rumored
over since the present strike started
and previous to that time, in fact, that
the company has been thinking quite
seriously of such a change. The coni-
pany has never substantiated any of
these reports, though Officials of the
company have declined that. it would
have cost them between $30, 000 and
$10 000 less to turn out their product
in Philadelphia lust year.
Asked previously about the removal
rumors. the company officials have
stated that they intend to do their best
to continue manufacturing in this city,
though they maintain that. they will
nevci operate anything but an “open
shop" again
Members of the trade assert that
this policy will be anything but bene-
hotel to the company. One hatter says
on this score:
“Up to recently. there haS'IIOt been
:1 high priced union label but on the
market in the West and they kept tell-
lug us to get a union concern to ad-
vaitlse under their own name and
they would get an enormous business.
The Crofut & Knapp Company has
done this. See what. the result has
been. in the Northwest. the South-
west and the West. the trade that. was
monopolized by the Stetison people has
been buying Crofut & Knapp huts right
and left. The trades people out that
way buy high priced goods 6. zooddeal
more than they do here in oldest
and besides that there are 50 .000 or-
ganlzed farmers out in the West who
believe in union made goods." ‘
The company's stand is that they
havo been so hampered by the union
