SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
g. G. N. U. and G. M. A. Having O
Controversy for Half Holiday.

Now that the affairs of the G. G. N.
U. and the Granite Manufacturers
Association have been fixed, or prac-
tlcally SO, we will have peace for at
least three years. That is the Asso-
citation requested the Union to vote
on a settlement for a stated time and
at their last meeting the latter did so,
voting for a settlement of not less
than three years nor more than four;
and in consideration Of the fact that
at the regular meeting of the Asso-
citation, held on Wednesday, the mat
ter was discussed and the concensus
of opinion was in accordance there
with, there is no reason why they
should not ratify their agreement at
the special meeting to be held tomor-
row night.
This will place Barre on a firm
footing again. but still there il an
other little controversy likely to come
up, which, although not anything
serious, will tend to create some
talk.
This is the half holiday on Satur-
day.
The bosses as we'll as the men have
been used to this little recreation dur
ing the summer months, but owing
to the settlement recently made,
there is hardly any chance of half a
day this summer for the men or boss
eS.
The agreement distinctly reads
"eight hours shall constitute. one
days work." making a total of forty
eight hours actual time for one week.
The cutting of the time six hours in
one week has already created great
havoc among the manufacturers, not
only by the necessity of placing more
men on to fill up the gap but in the
the way of machinery and tools, SO
that if they allow three more hours
for Saturday afternoon it Will mean a
considerable loss.
The manufacturers cannot see how
they can very well close their places
for half holiday and the men cannot
see how they are going to work, es'
pecially during the hot months, some
of them even 60 SO far as to say that
they will take the afternoon whether
the bosses like it OF not. This latteV
proceeding would hardly answer az
there are SO many men ready to accept
vacant places that there might bt
considerable changing around.
1t is to be hoped the bosses can SCI
their way clear to grant a half holi
day as during the summer months
nothing pleases hard worker NOR
than the fact that he knows he will
have rest at the end of a week 5 hare
labor.

GODDARD SEMINARY.

The way in which the school has re-
covered from the effects of the sickness
of last fall far surpasses the hopes of
all. The prompt action in closing the
school and doing everything possible
to improve the sanitary conditions,
gave confidence to it's supporters, and
resulted in having most of the stu
dents return. The financial showing
of last term is very gratifying. Only
once since 1892 has winter term
proved to he SO successful and that
was five years ago. The receipts of
last term practically paid all expen-
ses without using any of the income
from the permanent fund. This pros
porous condition will correct the i'm
preston which is prevalent on the
street that the school is not keeping
up to the standard of former years.
On Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings of this week Miss Croft gave talks
to the students on the operas, "Mar-
tina " and Carmen" which added
greatly to the enjoyment of those who
attended the opera the first night.
Miss Croft invited all of her piano pu-
pills to go again, as she was anxious
to have them hear fine opera. The
performance was enjoyed so much that
many attended the last night.
On next Wednesday evening the
students will give Bakers popular
drama, "The Flower of the Family. "
They have been working on it long
time, under Mr.. HOLSTERS direction,
and hope that the entertainment will
compare favorably with those given
on former years. The banjo club will
furnish music. The proceeds are for
the benefit of the Athletic AsSocia-
ton.
