INTERRUPTION IMPROBABLE.
March 1st May Usher New Agreement
for Granite Gutter Without Delay.

Although the time will soon arrive
when new articles of contract between
Hallowell granite manufacturers and
their men must be adopted or else work
must be Interrupted. there is little to
show that even slight difference of
opinion are to weigh against an amia-
Bile settlement. Frequent meetings of
the HalOWell Branch, National Gram
lite Cutters Union have been held with
in the past few weeks. Propositions
from the firms have been considered,
changes in the agreement as presented
by the union being in some cases sug-
geSted. II seems to be the desire of the
firms to make an early settlement and
in order to hasten the final object, con-
terences of representatives from the
manufaC turers and the union have
been held and indications are favora-
bic. The new contract will date from
March ].
A trade item from the South Litho-
MIA, Ca. says that all hands are loaf

might be.
| The constitution of the National Gran
tie Cutters Union has been revised. the
| committee delegated to the duty haV-
| ing reported recently. The name has
| been changed to international" in re-
| spouse to an urgent appeal made by
| granite critters nf the mgrit irnp
| inces, who for some years have eX-
pressed a desire to associate with the
| American body. In considering the
| matter prejudice was thrown aside.
One of the revising committee says:
| THE benifits to be derived from this
| amalgamation are not going to be al
| together oil the side of our brothers on
the other side of the line. They must
| adopt an eight-hour day and a s. min
| imum wage rate before we will recog-
nize them and. when that is done who
will say that it is not as much for our
| benefit as it is for theirs? Our field of
| oneration ana usefulness will be en-
| larSed and that is what the organiZa-
tons arc all striving for"
Continuing he says: Regular month
| ~ dues have been increased from 20
cents to 81 per month. Eight Per
cent. of all money received at head
quarters is to be set aside for an old
| age and honorary benefit. Financial
secretaries. who have never received
fair compensation for their work are

The funeral benefit is enlarged to
5000 Members 60 years of age are to be
exempt from paying dues or assess
| ments; members so years of age to pay
only half dues: and 1 think without

is about used up. am aware that some
| members will argue against an in
| crease of dues on the ground that we
are accommodating money very fast I'M
Ger the old system. To all such I want
| to say. an organization with good
substantial fund to draw from will
command a great deal more respect,

PHYSICIANS EVERYWHERE
konw the Value Of Pyramid Pile Cure

Gratitude alone prompts me to
testify to the efficacy of Pyramid Pile
Cure. Last March I bought a dollar
package at the drug store, which cured
me of bleeding piles. and / was a suf-
ferer from them for eight years; but
had not been troubled with them since
until last September, when I gave birth
to baby girl and after that I had a
very severe case of Irotruding piles.
which trained nurse said was the
worst case she ever saw and my doctor
told me to get Pyramid Pile Cure again
which ] did and was completely cured
in three days. ! nave rot had piles Of
any kind since and it is all owing to
this wonderful remedy. My nurse took
a box. which ] was glad t. be able t.
give her. for know she will be able to
help lots of suffering people whom ]
could never sec or know.
Il recommend Pyramids wherever l
know Of any one suffering as l did. 1t
gives me great pleasure to be able 10
say am entirely cured. which my doc
tor says is true. I say God Bless Pyra-
mid Pile Cure" From q former great
sufferer Mrs. r. Ancott, 11GC Unity St,
frankfort. Philadelphia. Pa.
This remedy, v hicn is sold by drug
glsts generally. in fifty cent and dollar
packages. is in q suppositCry form. is
applied directly to the parts affected
and performs it's work quietly AMI
ialnlessly. Its value is evidenced by
me testimony given above and we urge
all sufferers to ruy a package now and
give it trial tonight. Accept no sub
sttutes and remember that there is no
remedy Just as good" \ little book

The turkey supper which was given
IN the Ware PaIlOrs. has Melted the
society from so to So. The chief aim
Ct the men Vas not :" much to clear
profits. as to have Il good time them
selves and give others The benefit Of the
same enjoyment. Indeed. some Of the
members have been agreeably surpris-
ed to find that the society cleared its
expenses. When We consider that the
tickets We're sold for but 81 cents. ana
that suppr" was served, which
bought anywhere else, would have cost

We may well wonder at the financial
results Of the undertaking.
