Marble Workers Strike.

The labor troubles which had been
| imminent in various Rutland county
marble concerns since June 20, came
TO head July y, when a large per-
centage of the union workmen in the
various finishing departments left
their places. The men went out as
follows columbian. 200; Rutland
Florence, So; Temple Bros, 25; w. X.
Kinsman, u; Vermont Marble Co.. so
in all their plants. Only a handful
went out at Proctor, the reason being
that the men are not well organized.
The bone of contention is a PROPOSE
ton presented to the employers about
the middle OF last month by the presi-
dent and executive committee OF the
International Association of Marble
Workers OF this country and Canada,
demanding on behalf of the local
workers and cutters unions, among
other things = The abolishing of all
piece and contract work, a nine-hour
day with double pay for over time,
certain scale of wages and weekly pay
ments, full recognition OF the union
and agreement 10 settle all disputes by
arbitration between the employer and
unions. The proposition not being
agreed to by the employers. the inter-
national officials personally visited the
various concerns and were referred by
all the smaller ones TO the Vermont
Marble company, the Others saying If
the leader OF them all in size and pow
er agreed to these demands they too
would accede to the proposition. The
Vermont Marble company said their
men were satisfied and stated that the
firm would not abandon piece work.
The international officers then de-
clared war and placed the output of
the firms concerned on the unfair list.
The Vermont Marble company is the
keystone OF the whole structure we are
opposing, stated the international
president. "When we have brought
the Vermont Marble company TO time
we shall have won the fight" The Rut-
land unions therefore voted in mass
meeting to strike and in accordance
with their vote quit work.
The fact that only few men at
Proctor, employed by the Vermont
Marble company, at which concern
the strike is chiefly aimed, went ont is
explained by the union leaders. They
say nearly all the employees at Proc
tor are married and their families live
in company houses and trade at the
company stores on the credit system.
To have struck would mean that in
mediately they would have to leave
the town. The company owns every
thing In the shape OF houses. Many Of
them owe the company store consider
able money and they would have to
pay il they struck, or lose their house
hold effects and other possessions. |
The fact is they are so tied up that
they cannot strike. The strikers be-
lieve these men will 90 out as soon as
they can get their affairs adjusted.
Although the officials have been
warned to say absolutely nothing, from
bits dropped it is believed that the
Vermont Marble company is prepared
for and expects long struggle. As
yet there is no sign of coming around
to the strikers views in the matter,
but many feel that the strike will re-
suit favorably to the men because
OF the difficulty, not here, but on out
side Jobs that will not be handled by
union labor.

On account OF recent unpleasant oc-
currences at the Soldiers Home, Ben

have occurred to members intoxicated,
Supt. Thomas Harmon has notified all
the saloon keepers in the village not to

the time TO stop II has come. While
most of the inmates Of the home are
careful and moderate in the use Of
liquors. there are Just enough others TO
make il unpleasant tor the remainder.
He said he had no fault to lind with
