QUINCY CUTTERS
DID NOT CONCUR
Proposition That Third Party Should
Arbitrate Whatever Committees
Could Not Settle Not
Agreed To.

The Quincy Granite Cutters Union
has turned down the arbitration propo-
sition submitted to them by the Gran
ite Manufacturers Association, and the
general sentiment among granite men is
that peaceful solution of the present
differences cannot be reached.
Committees were appointed by both
the manufacturers and cutters to con
slider the changes desired in the bill Of
prices and agreement asked for by the
cutters on Dec. last. The principal
item Of which was an eight-hour day
with minimum wage OF So.
At the first meeting Of the two COM
mittees the manufacturers offered a
proposition that any matters upon
which the two committees could not
agree should be referred to disinter-
ested parties for arbitration, and their
findings should sbe final and binding. It
was believed that if this clause was
adopted the two committees could 20
ahead with the work OF adjustment
with a better understanding. The I'm
ion committee were not empowered to
consent to such proposition, but said
they would bring it before the Union.
A meeting of the Union was held last
week, when the matter was acted upon,
When the two committees met Friday
evening for conference the cutters com.
mittee stated that the Union had re-
! fused to agree to arbitration, and the
meeting adjourned without accomplish
ing anything.

The expenditures Of the city Of Barre
for the year just closed were $2l2, ,s61.

expenditures were s216,373.5O, a bal
ance on the side of the year just passed.
But it is impossible to make fair
comparison as there were extraordinary
items in the expenses Of the one that
were not in the other, and vice versa.
In 1908 there was the Main street paw
ing, and in 1904 there were the new
Mathewson school building and the cen-
tral fire station. The estimated cost
of running the city during the year 1905
is Sl7s, ,306.40, barring, Of course, ex-
traordinary expenditures. These figures
were brought out at the special city
council meeting Saturday evening, when
the finance committee reported Alder

Comparison Of the individual items
Of the expenses of 1908 and 1904 shows
that the police cost slightly more than
last year, the streets over one thousand
dollars less, sewers nearly two thousand
more, the poor little more than double
increase, fire department less, water de-
partment less, city court slightly more,
and the other items practically the
same. In 1908 the city expended nearly
$50 900 on permanent streets and last
year only $3,2s1.5S.

have thrown down its arms, remained
loyal and obeyed orders. But the blood
which crimsoned the snow has fired the
brains and passions of the strikers and
turned women as well as men into wild
beasts; and the cry of the infuriated
populace is for vengeance.
The sympathy of the middle classes
is with the workmen.
Snow Stained with Blood.
Nothing indicated the approach of the
horrible butchery which was destined
to stain the corner of the admiralty
gardens with human blood. The crowd
there persisted in refusing to move on,
clamoring for the Emperor and continu-
ally hurling abuse at the troops, but
attempted no violence. The companies
of the Preobrajensky guards, of which
Emperor Nicholas himself was formerly
colonel, which had been standing at ease
in front of the palace, formed up and
marched at double quick toward the
fatal corner. Events followed with aw-
ful swiftness. The commanding officer
shouted DISPERSED DISPERSED bls-
perselr Many in the crowd turned 70
flee but it was too late. A bugle sound
ed and the men in the front ranks
sank to their knees and both companies
fred three volleys, the first two with
blank cartridges and the last with ball.
A hundred corpses strewed the side
walk. Many women were pierced with
bullets through the back as they were
trying to escape. The Associated Press
correspondent standing behind the troops
saw mangled corpses of persons OF all
ages and both sexes strewing the ground,
One boy Of 13 had his skull pierced and
rent by bullets. Great splashes and
streams Of blood stained the snow. Only
few of the victims remained alive, for
the fatal yolley was fred at distance
of not more than 90 PAGES, and 50 the
ambulances had little work TO do. The
police recruited large number Of sleighs
TO carry of the dead. Heartrendinl
scenes were witnessed as wives, hus-
bands and mothers came up to claim
their dear ones and were carried of with
them in the sieighs.
Meanwhile the crowd had drifted uE
the Nevsly Prospect, yelling Murder
ersi Murderers!" and the square re
sumed its calm aspect, the troops re
turning to their stations.
