NOT WORKING
Barre Carpenters Laying
Off Temporarily
NOT A STRIKE
And II Is Thought a Settle.
ment Can Be Made.

The building business in Barre is
temporarily at standstill, and the
carpenters are laying off until the
matter is settled. Most of the
contractors have signed the bill of.pric-
es prepared by the Carpenters Union,
but @. L. Bugbee, who employs the
largest number OF men in the city,
has not yet signed. Yesterday most
of Bugbee's men laid off, and last
night the carpenters held meeting
and voted to lay off until the trouble
is settled,so the building business is
at a standstill.
The carpenters demand nine hour
day at 81. SO for journeymen, and only
one apprentice can be employed for
every five journeymen or fraction
thereof. Many of the contractors
have figured their work on the old 10.
hour basis, and claim they cannot at
ford to pay the increase demanded.
Some of the contractors who signt d
the bill presented by the carpenters
now claim that they did not under
stand what it meant and wish to
withdraw from the agreement. 1t is
thought settlement of the difficulty
can be arranged without strike.
Contractor G. L. Bugbee returned
this forenoon from business trip to
Boston. When interviewed by the
TELEGRAM reporter he expressed de.
sire to see the trouble adjusted, but
stated that he did not see how the
contractors could aft ,rd to give the
carpenters what they demand.
The carpenters cannot strike until
about May 1st, but the prOba bilil les
are that they will continue to lay Oft
until the differences arc adjusted.

BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY

Trenton, N. j., April 2.-Articles
have been filed with the secretary of
state of New Jersey by the United
States Steel Corporation amending its
charter and increasing it's capital
stock to 81, 100, 900, 900. The states
fee for the fling Of the papers was
100000.
The original articles filed some time
ago we're amended in only one particu.
lar, and this amendment was made for
the purpose Of taking advantage of an
act passed by the recent legislature.
Originally the corporation could not
mortgage or pledge it's real property
or any of the stock of any other COM
pany except by the affirmative vote of
the owners of two-thirds Of the capi.
tai stock. Under the amended char
ter it is necessary to have only the
affirmative vote Of two-thirds If the
stock represented in person or by
proxy at any meeting of the corpor-
alton.
The reason for the change is The
fear that the stock will become SO
scattered that it would be impossible
to get two-thirds Of the entire stock
represented at meeting.

NAVEL STRENGTH INCREASES

NAVEL STRENGTH INCREASES
Washington, D. c., April 2.-Great
Britain is still far in the lead in naval
tonnage of the great nations of the
world.
Built and building, the naval tonn-
age of Great Britain exceeds that Of
France, Germany and Russia combined
but by very narrow margin, and
that OF France, the United States and
Germany by even less. Great Britain
leads all nations by a large limit, both
In the existing strength of her navy
and in number of tons building, with
France next in rank. Then comes
Russia, and behind her the United
States, which has displaced Germany
and leads her by 5000 tons displace-
ment Of her ships. Japan is the sixth
naval power and Italy is supposed to
be about the same in strength, al
though it lies more in vessels built
than building.
Since 1887 the total naval tonnage
of the United States has greatly ad-
vanced, and now this country is only
a fue Thousand behind Russia.
