Granite Strike is Determined.

An interesting incident in the granite
cutters strike occurred last week in Wa
terbury. Tuesday the manufacturers aud
their employees at that place got together
and it was agreed to resume work, leav-
ing the question OF wages and conditions
open, to be the same as finally fixed at
Barre. The men began work Wednesday
morning, but quit at noon in response to
an order from Secretary Duncan Of the
international union, who told them to
stay out until the manufacturers signed
the recent bill prepared.
There has been no further break in the
line of the manufacturers. A few very
small concerns have signed the bill but
With the exception OF the Lelands, who
employ 20 men, they do not count for
much and some Of them are not members
of the association. q. r. Bianchi of
Montpelier, mo agreed to the terms of
the union regarding the use of the
"bumper," baked at the new wage scale
and his works are closed.
The granite quarry owners have assured
the manufacturers that they will stand by
them, and it is likely that those concerns
that give ia to the union will find 1t diff
cult to obtain stone. They may even
close the quarries altogether.
There is nc sign OF wavering by the
union. This men stand together and
none Of them returned to work last week
when the whistles blew, marking the end
of the lockout. The union men are
drawing strike pay, while the Jumpers,
who are not organized, are being helped
as much as possible. The Barre moving
picture concerns are giving part OF their
proceeds to help the men.
Friday evening, the Barre Manuiactur-
ers' association needed the objection Of
the Barre Cutters union to the strike
committee having an outsider on It and
retired one member, putting on a Barre
man instead.
The Montpelier cutters ct mass meet
ing fixed a new bill Of prices, rules, etc,
similar to that Of Barre, except that it is
10 run four years instead Of three.

The N AT eoYcoTT.

A widespread movement prevails
through the country to boycott high
priced food products meat especially
until the prices go down. II started in
Cleveland, o., and has been taken up in
many OF the large cities OF the country.
Labor and other organizations have en-
dorsed it until it has enrolled several mil
lion consumers in all.
Whether justly or not, the conviction
exists that the present high prices Of
meat are forced and unnatural; the result
Of excessive profit taking by the big pack
ing houses that largely control the sup
ply, and BY the middlemen and retailers.
II is not believed that the producers; that
is, the growers Of cattle, sheep and hogs,
are reaping unduly, though they are re-
ceiving better prices than formerly, and
should, with the present prices OF corn
and feed. The meat trust seems to be
sailing down many millions year, de-
claring tremendous dividends en- its over
capitalization and still boosting the price
up and up. Within the past few weeks
there has been such marked increase
that public attention has been focused.
The boycott results. 1t seems likely to
be an effective weapon. Though small
losses may fall on the retailers, they gem
orally carry limited stocks and will not be
heavy losers. The packing houses be-
lieved to be chiefly responsible will soon
feel it, and il the prices are really inflated
we shall see them drop under the lessened
demand. II may teach the greedy trust
not to overreach itself in future.
To be sure meat Is not the only article
that is soaring, but it is probably the
most notable example OF the sharp rise
taking place in almost every direction.
Trade reports and government iuyestiga-
tions agree with private experience
among buyers. Everything except news
paper subscriptions and advertising rates)
Is higher than even a year ago, and at
least 20 per cent higher than five years
ago. Wages and private incomes have
gone up in measure, but not enough to
cover the increased cost Of living.
Doubtless our scale of living has been
too high. Extravagancies have crept in
and people with small or moderate in
comes have acquired luxurious tastes
quite beyond their real means. In this
matter of meat eating, for instance, the
American family has developed a most ex-
pensive and physically harmful habit.
In no other country is so much meat eat
en-, or Of 50 high quality and price.
Newcomers to our shores soon become as
bad as natives and all hands gorge like
Indians on flesh. 1t is unnecessary to
health or comfort to eat so much meat
Even il we cannot follow the absolute
and avoid all meat, and even
il we do not choose to join the general
boycott for limited season, it will do no
harm TO watch the meat outgo and limit
II to the point of reason.

1t is the fate OF some men to be handi-
capped. For instance, there is Hon. Frank
c. Partridge OF Proctor, admittedly
clean, strong, able man, splendidly fitted
to be governor in this year of grace. He
has had plenty Of experience in public life,
is broad-gauge and progressive, is not
small politician and certainly not self
seeker. AS a personality 1t is doubtful II

howlers would have to admit that Proc
tor himself gave the state the most fear
less, independent and progressive admin
istration it has had for years; that he
went hack to his private business at the
end OF his term without regret, and that
he has only the proper interest OF a lead
ing citizen in the political future OF the
state. Furthermore, the very cIoseness
Of the connection between Partridge and
Proctor, known as it is, would make i'm
possible any special service by the former
in the latter's behalf, should occasion
arise. But, notwithstanding, Mr.. Par
fridge is an impossibility because so close
ly related to Proctor. Not that he even
remotely considers running; it is mem

conceded capacity may be handicapped by
something that really ought not to be a
