VIII Take a Day or Two TO
Adjust the Matter -Manu-
facturerS N Session This
Afternoon Union Meets To-
morrow Morning.

One OF those questions Of agreement
that arise in Barre at more or less stated
intervals between stone cutters and gran
ite manufacturers il the cause OF all the
stone sheds in the city being closed today.
The trouble began at the sheds OF Moore
Bros. several days ago over the cutting Of
q stone which forms part OF q contract
secured by Il. II Smith q Co. and which
they sublet 10 Moore Bros. The men re-
fused to work on it and went home
Practically the same condition arose at
], +. Corskie 4 Go. s sheds and the men
refusing 20 work were sent home. Mr.
Corskie put apprentices on the stone and
the blaeksmiths quit and he closed bis
shed yesterday morning.
The cutters claim there Is an agreement
against sub-contracting jobs and that the
Moore job came under this agreement.
The manufacturers claim no agreement
exists. They admit the matter came up
for consideration last summer when the
exchange was Ia existence and that 1t was
accepted by the union but was not aceept-
ed by the manufacturers. But they aeraa
that some settlement should be reached ia
the matter Of sub-e0ntraeting and yester-
day an effort was made between the mau-
ufactuIers and cutters to arrangean agree
ment that would be satisfactory to both
sides, The grievance committee from the
manufacturers and from the cutters were
in session until nearly midnight and the
only thing that separated them at that hour
was the question of whether the manufae-
turers should be allowed to complete con
tracts already taken but on which work
was not yet begun.
The manufacturers decided not to open
up this morning until the matter was
settled and as q result every cutting plant
is idle today
