action Of two Of the largest quarrying
firms on the Hill pulling their pumps
from the quarries. These are the Bout
well, Milne u varnum CO. and the Jones
Bros. Co., which would seem to indicate
that they did not expect any immediate
settlement Of the labor dispute on the
Hill.

ferences between the Quincy nlanufac-
turers and union, which were referred
to headquarters for arbitration under
the peace agreement, were settled BY
the arbitration board IN Boston yester-
day What the terms of the settlement
were il not reported.
The Polishers' Union is paid its sec

Quarry Workers Union was held at
