HOMER FITTS MILK MAN A LABORER. Mr. Editor: I take great interest in those articles published in your paper undet the needing "In The World of Labor", but in some things, I do not agree with the writer Now I wish to make a few remarks on the question under disouulon, in order to bring out the thoughts of the people, where they will do some good. In the first place Mr. Robertson is rather hard on the milkmen. Mr. Bassett wants to know If they are speculators. Mr. Robertson says they are. Now I oonalder they are within the field of labor, if they are not, then other teamsters or wage earners are not, and there never was any suob thing. The milkmen work hard and many hours In all kinds of weather both In dark ness and day light, from the time the milk leaves the cow till we get it In oar oans, and besides ther have been the last in the field of laborers, speculators or capitalists, to raise the price of their product. For a year or so they bave been obliged to pxy higher prloes fur near ly everything they bad to buy, es pecially feed that went from 100 to 150 per cent higher. Now under these oonditions were they not justified in charging su cents a quart for their milk? Haven't they the same rights that other men have to better their condition? Mr. Robertson also says that "the laws of Vermont are se vere against combinations of labor " Tbey are just tne same against comoi natlons of capital. Tbey are no worse than the laws of other states. Men don't make perfect laws pod perhaps tbey never win one generation can not legislate for another. If the laws a,re very bad or tyranloal tbe oeoole are to blame. We should not respect or tolerate any law that is contrary to tne laws or ine ureator. If I am mistaken I would like lnfor mation from tbose who are are better posted tban I am. It Is their duty to, and they should have tbe privilege to enllehtec tbe majority. This is edu cation and Mr. Robertson believes in that. Mr. Robertson al o says "had tbe boycott bill passed it would have been a crime to stop one dealer and patronize another." xo w men bave a right to trade where tbey like, aad tbe state has no right to make laws to compel the people to trade with dealers who adulterate their goods. Now let me ask, If It is right to oharge SO oents a quart for milk in a lunch room where tbey buy It for 4 and 5 cents, why Isn't it right for a milkman to charge 6 cents a quart? JOHN T. OALLAGIUN.

W. HOLTON, anmn mi iwsf'i . -ice in ai 1 e-1 HK4IU ttmtl Sfllmilli , HALE BliOCK, MAW A LOCAL ATTITUDE ON FUEL FAMINE In regard to the matter of closing the churches during tbe fuel famine tbe Bev. Brian C. Hobem nreaohing laat Sunday from tbe text 'On Earth Peaoe to men of Good Will" said: "I fear that this year the shadows of tbe fuel famine which bang over our land will oloud many hearts whiob are generally gay, and, I fear, generally oarelesa. "Tbe spirit of apprehension is abroad . and with good reason men are attested, by it. Business is threatened, suffer log is scute in many homes, and we in Vermont who bave tbe forests near us can hardly appreciate tbe panic which has already seized whole com munities. I can only nope (I trust It is not hoping against hope) tbat each day's production of coal will see the day of need a vanishing factor In the land. "God blets tbe men of jood will who are striving to be just and true in their distribution of the fuet. The men who In the least way unnecessar ily advance the price of tneir commod ity at such a time as this, are guilty of murderous sin. I gladly suggest tbat if tbe need presses upon us, the church be closed and that what we would spend In fuel here be given to our mayor tbat be may dispense the same to tbe needy and the suffering. Were we using coal I should gladly ask you to do this without delay. As it is we are not as yet seriously In fringing upon tbe fuel supply. Should an appeal be made for public help we will, 1 am sure, gladly suspend our pub ic service andgatberat various private bouses for our devotions and there receive the Sacrament of Re deeming Love."
