ceSSions if Entire Agree
ment is Not Accepted.
GIVE CARPENTERS NOTICE
Action Taken at Meeting This Morn
ing-Difficuty is Over Clause on
Sympathetic Strikes.

At meeting this morning of the
building contractors of the three cities
at the Turner hall in this city, an ulti-
matum was prepared to be presented
TO the district council of the carpen-
ters' union, stating that unless the
committee representing the carpenters
sign the agreement presented, by next
Wednesday evening at ) o'clock, the
contractors will withdraw the conces-
sions granted. including the wage scale
of 37A cents an hour minimum wage.
The Contractors Notice.
The communication to the carpen-
ters is as follows:
In view of the fact that the general
conccding of the 371a cent minimum
rate has been made with the under
standing of the adoption of the follow
ing articles of agreement which were
previously conceded by your commit
tee; and, whereas, the committee rep
resenting the Tri-City Carpenters Dis
trict council has refused to sign these.
all concessions from the Tri-City Mas
ter Builders association. made therein,
are suspended unless these articles are
signed by the TriCity Carpenters Dis
trict council and handed to our secre-
tary for our signature not later than )
o clock next Wednesday evening, May

LOUIS c. NISSEN. Secretary"
Over Sympathetic Strike.
The objection Of the carpenters to
the agreement proposed is on account
of the clause providing that no carpen-
tiers shall leave their work on account
of the employment of nonunion men on
other jobs of the work on which they
are engaged, not in other trades The
men decline to sign this agreement,
but accept the other provisions. The
men. as far as can be learned. were all
at work again today, and the contract
Ors have conceded the increase to 371a
cents an hour. The district council is
expected to call a meeting of the
unions to determine whether to accept
the clause or to strike.

vermont for VermOnters."

Really, Gentlemen, do you think the
Vermont press can work for Greater
Vermont" quite as enthusiastically when
the largest printing contract in sight for
years is sent outside the state to save a
few hundred dollars Is there, after all,
no sentiment in business, and are all our
supplies for the state to be bought in
city markets? p At least three Of the Yer
mont firms who bid on this contract
have added thousands ofdollars to their
plant the past year that they might be
thoroughly equipped for state work
and other large contracts, and we can
not blame them for feeling keenly dis
appointed at the outcome. We do not
believe the commissioners would have re-
ceived half as much criticism as they
will now if they had left the printing in
Vermont. Vermont for Vermonters"
is our motto and we believe it is a good
one.
