 An agreement was reached some time ago between granite employers and employees at Barro and the bill of prices at that place has been submit ted by the Westerly manufacturers and rejected by the granite workers.
 After nearly three months of delib- erations the Quincy granite manufac- turers and the members of the Gran ite Cutters union have reached an, agreement that will prevent a. strike on March l, when the present work ing agreement expires. This will be the first time in the history of the. granite industry in Quincy that the wage proposition has been peaceably adjusted. The cutters filed notice of their proposition for an increase of pay on December 1, giving the, ma1lu- facturers three months in which to settle with them. They asked an in- crease in the minimum wage from $8.z6 to $3.36, Saturday half holidays the year round ana the payment of out of town soales for out of town work and some ether minor changes, the agreement to run for five years In Westerly the minimum wage de- manded is 4s cents an hour or $3.64 for work day of eight hours.
 As settled in Quincy, the bill gives the cutters ss.so, saturday half-holi- days at their own expense nine months of the twelve for two years. and for the entire twelve months for the next succeeding three years The request for the payment of out of town scales on out of town work was denied.
 Another matter taken up was the use of the Jumper machine. These machines. because of the amount of dust which they throw, are particu- larly obnoxious to the granite cut tefs. These will be used, under the agreement, but with certain restric- tfons.
 The Quincy quarrymen have settled with the manufacturers for, 30 cents an hour. their request being for 32 cents as against a present wage of 20 cents. The tool sharpeners, polish CTS and other allied workers will come to settlement by March 1.
