including Interior Minister Sviatopoik-
Atirsky, agreed; but the character Of
the agitation which followed the meet

AGAINST THE FIRM.
Judge Avery Finds for Granite Cutters
of Thomas & Miller.

Quincy, Mass, Dec. 22.--JudQe Avery
has rendered his finding as arbitrator
in the matter OF dispute between an EN-.
ployee Of Thomas & Miller, and the
firm, as to what wages the man in ques.
tion was entitled to receive.
In order 10 fully understand tho find
ing Of Judge Avery it is necessary 10
republish a history Of the case.
The man in question applied to the
firm Tor employment, which was given
him. During the first few weeks the
firm paid the man the average wage,
which was 35 cents per hour.
When the firm came to settle with
him 1t was on the minimum basis, the
amount over that, although some had
already been paid him, being deducted.
The joint executive committees were
unable to agree and the men at the
yard went out, but later We're ordered
10 return to work.
Then it was that the question Of
what pay the man was entitled to re-
ceiye was referred to Judge Avery.
Judge Avery decided the question ac-
cording to its legal standing, which was
that the man was entitled To receive
the average wage Of IS cents per hour.
The clause in the agreement reguIat-
ing this matter says that men may be
employed at an average wage Of "a cents
per hour. Judge Avery ruled that the
word employed being used it implied
q second contract, whereas, ii it had
read may be paid an average wage,
the firms position would have been
right.
As It was the man was entitled To the
35 cents per hour which he received
the first few weeks and the firm there
fore was in the wrong in deducting from
his wages the difference between that
sum and the minimum wage. The total
money value involved in the matter was
something like So.

Science at Columbia University, who has

Lage. Dean Hutton said that, although
there was no great opposition on the
part Of the faculty to interclass rivalry
and to fighting on South Field between
freshmen and sophmores, the faculty was
opposed to the practice of kidnapping
single freshmen or groups by the upper
class men, and was determined to stop
the custom, The dean said that ii tile
suspension Of the eulprit sophomores
would produce that effect, they would
be suspended. He asked if the sopho-
mores would take the suspension with
good grace. They replied that they did
not deserve it. The dean asked also
whether the sophmore class would look
on their classmates as martyrs If they
were Suspended. The students were I'M
able 70 answer, but general sentiment
was that the class would strike Dean
Hutton did not seek to excuse GouIds
action, but be said that it was never
fair for a crowd to set on one man. If

matter would have been legitimate. The

by the faculty today, and announced to
them tomorrow Kingston Gould has

Icity's offer for a public dock. Such was
the substance Of letter received by
Mayor James Il, Burke yesterday, that
day being the date when the railroad
company was to reply to the overtures
made by the public dock committee.
A few weeks ago the public dock
committee which had been authorized
by the board Of aldermen to go ahead
and take decisive action relative to the
establishment Of public wharf, de.
cided that they would locate the same
at the foot of College street. After
careful examination they concluded that
about 100 feet OF lake frontage next
south of the clubhouse dock was the
best location, everything considered, and
they came to the conclusion that they
would establish the public dock there,
first making an offer to the railroad for
the property desired, which if not ac-
ecpted, would be succeeded by seques
tration proceedings.
