CONTRACTORS AND PAYERS TRYING TO SETTLE
THE GRANITE TROUBLE.
A conference. having In view the settlement
Of the gTanite PAYERS sllke. held In
the Department of Public Works yesterday,
at which representatives OF the contractors
and Striking PAYERS met Commissioner Glroy.

No 40; James Murphy and John Collins took part.
The PAYERS representatives disposed 10 admit
that their side had been in the wrong and that the
contractors had been Injured by The strike and through
10 fault Of their own. T,ey said that they had no
grievance against the latter. They had been misled,
they said nv William McNar and Secretary Grant,
Of the National Paving enters Union. and that these
men no longer had any influence In their councils.
McNaar IND Grant were accused Of making no real
effort 10 settle the misunderstanding.
The question OF the contractors taking back the
striking union men into their employ then
considered The contractors said they willing
to DO this but they disposed to discharge the
non-union men who had stood by them during the
strike They proposed to receive the union back
and let them work along with the non-union men.
TO this the union objected the ground that 1t
would be against the rules Of the union. Then the
contractors suggested that non-union men be taken
into the union. without payment Of initiation fees. or
on paying a mere nominal fee. The PAYERS de-
INJURED to this They had all to pay the regular ftcs
on Joining the union and they thought II than
fair If the nonunion were allowed to 60 in on
the same terms.
Mr.. Gilroy here took part in the discussion and
proposed that the whole lie referred 10 sub com

agreed to and Mcssrs Kelly and Pollock were APP
