Bio Strike Ended.

The lockout of all the granite workers
in Washington county owing to the
strike in the E. B. Ellis Co.'S sheds at
Northfield ended Wednesday morning
when the men all returned to work at
the old schedule.
The secretary of the Granite Cutter s
National Union, Investigated the trouble
at Mortified and ordered the men back
to work.
Over three thousand men were af-
fected by the strike.
There was no grievance or trouble at
Montpelier or Barre, but the Mortified
difficulty threatened to effect the entire
granite industry of that section, so the
manufacturers ordered a lockout to
bring the question directly before the

nitely settled

Minneapolis, Mimi. March pa

In price of wheat in the United States
and Canada. 1t has been generally
supposed that a much higher price
was paid south of the boundary than
north. The tremendous expansion OF
wheat raising in the Canadian West
and the emigration of thousands OF
Middle-West farmers to that section
has given the question an interest
that 1t did not have before. Then,
too. the agitation of the subject OF
reciprocity with Canada has added to
the interest, because those who op-
pose such reciprocity argue that II
would be injurious to the American
farmer on account of the "cheap
wheat that would now in from Canada.

led to the rather surprising discovery
