TRANSFERS MAY GET AGREEMENT.
Yesterday afternoon the representatives
| Of the teamsters international along with
some OF the representatives labor people
of this city met the coal dealers OF Paw
| tucket and talked over the matter or thu
singing OF the agreement with the Paw
tucket local for the coming year.
Among the labor men at the conference
were Messrs. Geo. Il. Brady OF the CEN
trail labor union, l.. A. Grace. the busi-
r,ss agent OF the coal teamsters union,
| OF this city. Mr.. McGonigle, the interna-
| tional officer and Messrs. Gibson and
| Mooney OF the Pawtucket local.
rhe dealers met the men at the office
| OF one OF the firms in Pawtucket and went
ever the contested points as TO the sign
| ing OF the agreement.
The employees stated that they were
ready to sign the agreement under GER
| tain conditions These were stated and
then the negotiations began. Each article
| OF thea agreement was gnne-oNer ana the
| various points were waived by the dealers
| tail Il came TO the matter of the teamsters
| carrying coal.
This point prevented the final agree
| ment as TO what form the agreement
would take. The coal dealers argued that
! IL was unfair TO make them sign an agree
ment whereby the men would not have
to carry any coal when the conditions
were such that course OF this kind was
| almost necessary. They urged that some
| of the districts were far away and 1t was
| rather n hardship for them to send along
an extra man.
| The coal teamsters argued that II would
be unfair to have one man do the work
| Of two and that. the conditions they asked
| for were those under which the coal team
| sters of this city were al work, and the
dealers were anxious 10 have similar
agreement.
The matter was left for n later confer
| ence. but It is thought that this point will
! be waived finally and the agreement
! made. The coal teamsters OF Paw
tucket are hopeful.
BUSINESS AGENT A DOG FANCIER.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Agnew's face
wore one of those wide self-congratulatory
smiles OF the kind that won't come off.
! When pressed for a reason he stated that
| since he had gone into the business Of
raising fancy bulldogs he had met with
considerable luck. and now he had litter
| or eight pups to br disposed or.
The dogs are OF the fanciest kind OF
breeding and will bring anywhere from
i 500 TO $50 each. They are out Of the
celebrated Teaser and another blue rib
bon winner. Teaser and his father are
well known 10 the fanciers OF this city
and hence the dogs cannot be OF small
value.
Mr.. Agnew IS being congratulated on his
| good fortune.
