view to possible revocation Of the sec
ond class liquor license Of Angelo Di.
versi was held by the license commis-
sioners at the city court room Saturday
night, as the result Of which the COM
missioners decided not to revoke the Ii
eense as they decided Che evidence pre-
scented did not warrant such action. viii

tsaid to have been not under oath) to
Grand Juror Davis the action was
brought, turned about and on oath de-
posed that he did not buy tho liquor
at Diyersi's store. but that stranger"
bought It for him. There was otherwise
no evidence that Wright had bought
liquor there
Eight witnesses were heard, the COM
missioners. summoning five and Diycrsr
three, including himself The whole
case hinged on the testimony Of Wright,
who went on the stand and said that
he had not bought any liquor at Diver
sis since December 26. He said that
stranger, on request, went into Diversis
and bought two half-pints of whiskey
and delivered it to him wright. The
latter then took the bundle to w. Fl.
Connor's store, where he asked permis-
sion to keep it for time, talking with
q clerk. When the proprietor came in,
he didn't know about the arrangement,
and finding liquor in the bundle decided
to get it of his hands by notifying the

try 81 this section 81 the country becauss
81 differences between The workmen and
the manufacturers is not taken seriously
here in Concord At least there IS little
reason to believe that there will be q
strike IN the industry here.
With respect to the difficulties that
seem to confront Barre Westerly and
Quincy, tile three principal competing
centers with which Concord granite
comes III contact, very little is known
here in Concord, except as newspaper
stories and now and then workman
from one Of these places comes to Com
cord The fact is that the foresight Of
both the mion men and the manufactlr-
ers of Concord placed this city in an
especially favorable position to avoid
extended difficulties, about ten years
AGO. When the big granite strike in
Concord was ended ten years ago. it
was agreed that an accepted bin of prices
should RIM for three years and end on
May /. To make a change in any Of the
conditions OF the existing schedule OF
prices and conditions, either party must
give the other three months notice.
Ia accordance With this proviso, the
local unions, desiring some changes, led
with the manufacturers proposed
schedule on February ] this wear. the
new bin to go into effect when The pres
ent one expires, after its three year
rim. May /. This new proposition IS
now under consideration By the manu-
facturers, and conference committees
have been appointed, to the end that two
sides OF the controversy may reach an
agreement before May !.
Where the Concord industry IS in
happy position because Of the foresight
of the men who originated the present
plan OF doing things, lies in the fact
that at Barre and Westerly, any change
made in existing schedules must b.
agreements maintaining in those places
TO go into ELECT March l. This gives
the Concord men an opportunity TO see
how their competitors get along. and
they can regulate the Concord prices and
conditions to meet any conditions that
are built up by their competitors.
