A Communication.

Since the editor of the Groton
Times has not informed himself sutli-
GENTLY on the change in the wages and
working hours demanded by the union
of the manufacturers of granite to
write on the subject as it should be
for the interest and prosperity of the
granite industry, should omit such I'M
interesting information and devote
the space to advertisements.
When he refers to the last strike,
and the settlement was supposed a
permanent wage rate then and forever
more. He forgets there are constant
changes taking place in all occupa-
pations, even the printer. Why is he
always seeking more subscribers?
Why isn't he satisfied with what he
has? Why is there raise of $500 or
more a thousand on lumber from last
year? Because those men want all
they can get, and SO do the stone cut
tiers.
l think if the manager of such an
enterprise allows himself to give at
tention and space to uniformed peo-
pie that know as much about labor
organizations as they do about the
war in South Africa, that more or less
serious evils will inevitably follow.
He will persuade the public to en-
gage in enterprises which are doomed
to failure in advance, in the hope that
he may make temporary profit out
Of their management.
