The Eclipse oil Friendship.

The announcement that Prof. Charles
Eliot Norton has been designated us one
Of the literary executors of Ruskin calls
attention again to the remarkable liter
airy friendships which 10 mas enjoyed.
In the world of art and letters, there are
probably few men of the first rank in
the past generation whose somewhat in
innate acquaintance he has not had. It
has. indeed. been said Of him. ana with
something Of truth. that he has spent a
large rart of his life mainly in Cultivat-
ing Hi friends ana editing their literary
remains; and the collected letters or ad-
dresses of Carlyle. Lowell. Curtis. and
Russell bear testimony to his devotion to
those whom he has known.
1t is rcgrcttable to think that this elc-
mpnt ~ friendship, which Prof. Norton
has been privileged to enjoy in 50 large

LABOR UNCERTAINTY.
The Seasons Building Likely 10 be Lessened
by Demands Of Carpenters.

"The labor problem is one of tn,
most serious conditions that contract
ors will have to face, this year." re-
Gently said one of the best known con-
tractors and builders on the Kennebec
The reply was made in answer to
the inquiry as to what the building
outlook is for the present year In
speaking further along that same line
the contractor said that it is not now
question of the price Of lumber and
building materials, but rather of the
labor unions.
As is well known, there has been a
marked effort during the past six
months to further organize labor in
different parts of the State. Among
the carpenters and masOns this is es-
pccially true. The same holds good of
the painters. so that when Il con-
tractor now figures on a contract he
has all of these things to take into
consideration.
OF late the carpenters and masons
have made such demands that the
contractors have come to consider their
action in a most serious light. And it
is not the contractors alone who are
considering the matter for the men
who are thinking of building for an
investment are holding off until it is
known just what will be done.
1t has been the custom in the past
for the contractors to hire their men
for a day of 10 hours, and if the day
was shortened or heightened, to pay
the men in proportion. Now that the
unions are formed, the men demand
a day of nine hours, for which they
shall receive 10 hours pay, and if the
contractors want the men to work over
nine hours, then double pay for the
extra time is demanded.
Another thing that is being consid-
cred is that the union men refuse to
work with non-union men. The union
m"n demand n certain price whether
the workman is good. bad or indiffer-
cnt So that another serious conSition
cunfronts the contractors.
With union carpenters working be
side non-uion men on a building the
effect is very bad. for while one crew
is pmpleting the work by working
9-hour day, the other is still on the
last hour Of the day, and the work
done during that time does not COM
pare with that done during the prcvi-
Gus hour. both as regards to quality
ana amount.
These things are all being considered
by the men who have been planning to
build for an Investment, and is caus-
ing much less work to be done than
was at first planned.
This condition is true, the con-
tractors say. not only Of the Kennebcc
valley. but also Of every other section
If the state ana is a matter which is
being much discussed by them
one of the contractors recently said
that he believed the time had come
when 9-hour day was necessary for
all, and that he for his part was will
ing to give it II his men. Further
conversation showed that while he was
willing to make that concession. which
virtually amounts to 10 Per cent rise
in wages, he, like the other con-
tractors. was not willing t. concede
that an extra advance should be made
by paying the men double for over
time work.
