Quincy, Mass, May l,.-At the regular

"Wednesday, II was voted by large ma
Jority TO adhere 10 the late agreement
with the manufacturers, namely, an
S-hour day at a minimum wage OF j3
cents an hour, Secretary Duncan OF
the National Granite Cutters union had
threatened To revoke the charter Of the
local unions here. In consequence OF the
cutters settlement for anything less IMAM
30 cents as a minimum, This threat
had the effect of drawing out an unusual
attendance. Secretary Duncan. VINO

concerned, Tor some time tn come.
The matter Of the Quincy agreement
as the terms are known throughout the
country, viii be voted ON by the indi-
Niduul branches of the union, and II n
majority do not sanction the agreement
the Quincy cutters viii be forced to quit
work. The hitch appears to be over 'he
labor troubles which are In existence
In Westerly. u. l.. and Halloween, Me-
and other places where settlement mas
not yet been reached. The manufac-
turers In these places are willing To set
tie on the Quincy terms. but the cutters
are determined to hold out for nothing
short of a 80 cent minimum.
This, with the branches OF IN" union
in the west, which are known to be op-
posed to the Quincy settlement, places
the officials at the national Headquarters
in a peculiar position. II iscertain that
If the branches of the union outside OF
Quincy fail To uphold the agreement ar
rived at here. the cutters viii be forced
to reiinIuish work. The Quincy cut
tcrs will in no wise Withdraw from the
union. as in that event quincy would be
known as a "scab" town, and her cut
teis would find it impossible To find work
in union places.
