Milford, Mass, April 2.-The strike
of the Milford granite cutters brings
out no excitement. One Of the small
operators, George 7. Hutchins g. Co.,
signed the new bill and at special
meeting yesterday the blacksmiths'
union adopted the new bill as its own.
The latter union elected this strike
committee: James Garvey, Roy Black,
Harry Marley, John M Mimi, Curtis
r. Joy.
The cutters union kept open their
strike books for enrolment Of members
that they might sign and be entitled to
strike pay after this week aud there
was feeling that the strike would not
last long, that the manufacturers would
give way.
The cutters elected this strike com
mittee; William a. Youngson, secrs-
tary, Joseph Hooper, Joseph Mimi.
Daniel r. Carney, Joseph Cooper.
About 1885 cutters are idle, practically
every member Of the trade in town, but
the local quarries have total capacity
of 500 to 1000 cutters in all Prepara.
tions to meet the crisis have been max
ing by both sides since Jan. ! last hence
the small number of cutters here now.
