To the Editor of the EVENING

most Important concession the work.
ers can gain for themselves. In every
occupation where long hours OF labor
obtain wages are low and vice versa
The writer has known Of cases where
upon the hours Of labor being reduced
from 12 to s, the wages were inside OF
a month raised from $1.25 to Sl,35
per day. There never yet was gen
uine concession gained by any body OF
workers without all kinds OF dire ca.
fanatics being predicted as result OF
it's attainment, by those interested in
maintaining the status qro' driving
trade from the state, and opening the
flood gates OF anarchy being among
the minor evils prophesied on such
occasions. Asa well wisher OF the
ouarrymen, 1 therefore express the
hope that they will gallantly adhere
to their demand for the eight hours.
The general opinion among the stone
cutters is that when the mems organ
ization was ignored by the bosses they
should have declared strike, without
any further preliminaries' 1t is
hoped however that the perfecting OF
their organization will make up for
whatever may have been lost by de-
lay. 1t is only by organization. loyal
ty and discipline that victories are
won on the economic as we'll as the
military field of battle. Should a
strike be declared the local employers
will not only lose many of their quar-.
rymen by their leaving the place, but
many of their stonecutters also, and
if trade is in the condition they claim
it is, they can i'll afford to lose them
Although aware Of the futility OF try
ing to reason with them, the chal ces
of their profits suffering far more as
result Of their dogmatic attitude
than in consenting to meet the quar-
rymen iu reasonable manner, ough'
to carry some weight with the bosses

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.
Why Should Not Quarrymen
Have it as Well as Cut
terS?

The present condition OF affairs
looks as though the quarrymen ana
their employers were about to enter
into a,conflict the eight hour ques:
tion. The quarry owners have failed
up to the present time to give. any
good reason why such demands shoulo
not be granted. Furthermore they
have expected such demands sooner or
later, and they have been prepared TO
meet just such demands by raising
the price OF rough stock from Is to 70
per ce-t on dark stock and ifrom 20 t,
25 per cent on light stock. This
shows that the Quarrymen Assocla-
tion is not asleep. 1t appears that
they do not want to recognize the
Quarry mems Union.
We would like to to ask If the
ouarrymen have not got the same
rights as the quarry owners: Inc
quarry bosses have their union ana
every line Of workmen In the granite
industry have their unions and are
recognized. Now the quarrymen are
the fountainhead Of all our granite
industry We can't deny that They
dig and delve and drill to supply the
rough stock to keep the cutters al
work. 1t is a well known fact that
but few shops have stock enough TO
run 10 days if the Quarrymen go on a
strike. Good, sound judgment should
be used in this matter on both sldes,
but the quarrymen should get their
demands in regard to the eight hour
question. 1t has been stated that
the granite cutters could not sup
port them because of their agree
ment that did not expire until 1908
What is the reason, If that is the case
that they will not cut a certain stone
from certain quarry on Barre hill a,
The present day? Don't fool yourself
Mr.. Quarryowner, by expecting any
support from the glanite cutters, lol
the agreement cuts no ice in this
case. We must have union stock o.
none. The average wages OF th'
ouarrymen are about 81 80 per day
