PRICE or DIAMONDS
TAKES UPWARD CLIMB
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

New York. Feb. 4.-The retail
price of diamonds is to be raised
from So to $40 carat, because of an
advance of 12k per cent in wages
which has Just been granted by the
Maiden Lane diamond merchants to
the members of the American Dia-
mond Cutters Protective association.
The average wage paid to polishers
is $50 per week. The workmen
known as "bruters." who shape the
diamonds receive about $3.50 a week.
The "cleavers," of whom there are
but two in this country, make about
$500 a week.
The union has an ironclad agree
ment with the merchants whereby
no apprentices may be put at work in
the factories except sons or brothers
of men now employed in the work.
The merchants asked the union to
sign an agreement that no further
advances in wages would be request
ed for two years, but their request
was denied. The union has 400
members in this city.
