STONE CUTTERS ADOPT
COMMITTEES REPORT
ON BILL OF PRICES
Nine Hours for a Day and
Thirty Cents all Hour
Officers Elected.

The Barre branch of the Granite
Cutters National union held meeting
last night to receive and act upon the
report of the committee from that or
ganization appointed to confer with a
committee from the Granite Manufac-
turers Association upon the difficulty
between the two organizations.
Armory hall was crowded, over 800
cutters being present. AS all the meet
ings of this organization are secret il
was exceedingly difficult to find out
what was done, but this much was
learned. After a prolonged and some
what heated discussion of the report
and the situation in general it was voted
to accept the committees report, thus
settling all questions of a strike.
This action of the cutters leaves the
working day nine hours long, and the
30 cents an hour, the
whole thing amounting simply to
raise of half cent an hour. Now tha,
this question is amicably settled we
predict that the ensuing year will be
one Of the most prosperous that Barr,
has ever had.

The testimony of President Haver- meyer, of the American Sugar Trust, before the industrial commission h. vestigating the effect of trusts. was n bomb in the republican camp. His declaration that the protective tariff IS responsible for the growth and pros. perity of the trusts is not new dis covery, but coming from one who knows whereof he speaks, the sugar trust having been one of the principal heneticlaries of the protective tariff, MT, Hasermeyer's opinion carries great weight. Trusts maintain prices winch are profitable to themselves, be. cause the protective tariff prevents for eign producers from sending their goods to this country for sale. The effect of the trust is to make the Amer, icau consumer pay high prices for pro. tected commodities, while the foreign consumer is able to purchase Amer ican goods at low prices, and at the expense of the American people.
