tangled ideas OF government or the fam

suppose. with our opportunities Of call-

that stability in all things would be
the order Of the day, but the contrary
is most evident, to haul everything out

the distinction OF being upbuilders rath-

process of nature in its evolution Of

The question Of minimum wage
which is perhaps the most important
under discussion, is troubling the Quincy
granite manufacturers and workmen. as
is shown by the following clipping from
the Quincy Ledger
"Another meeting OF the committees
of the Granite Manufacturers associa.
tion and the Granite Cutters union,
who are considering the new agreement
and bill of prices, was held Tuesday
evening. The meeting was very har-
monious one, and several minor but i'm.
portant items in the agreement were
settled to the satisfaction of both com

some delay in the final agreement is
that fixing the minimum wage. This,
however, was not touched upon at Tues
