GRANITE CUTTERS
ARE SATISFIED

Washington, Jan. 13.-Ths local
branch OF the Granite Cutters Inter-
national association. at Mount Airy,
N. c., has just made a new agree
ment with the employers. The agree
ment runs for five years and provides
Tor an increase in wages of 80 cents
per day for the first four years, and
81 cents per day increase for the.
fifth year, with a half holiday on Sat
urdays. The current agreement ex-
-pires March Q, 1912. 1t is the Gus
tom among the granite cutters 10
give three months notice of change
OF agreement. The international Of,
hcers have been urging committees of
their local branches to meet the en-
ployers committees as soon as pos
sible after notice of change is given,
so that possible new agreements can
be drafted and signed before the date
of expiration of the old agreement.
Experience in the granite trade
proves that agreements signed before
old ones expire are more satisfactory.
The branch at Mount Airy needed
the advice of the international Off
Gals and secured a five years settle
ment with an increased wage three
months ahead of the late of change.
This will permit contractors to esti-
mate for new contracts with fore
knowledge of the labor cost.
The granite cutters at Rockville,
Mimi, gave notice to their employers
five weeks ago for a proposed in
crease in wages to become effective
March /. 1912. Committees represent
ing the cutters and the employers
promptly met and after several con-
ferences a new agreement was arriv-
ed at and signed for one year, from
March l, 1912, carrying with it an in
crease of wages amounting TO 90
cents per day to the workmen receiv-
ing the minimum rate. The minimum
rate after March /, 1912, will be $3.45
per day. Extra skilled workmen will
be graded up according to their earn
ing power.

rHE rRusT TIA FALEp
ST. paul Pioneer Press: Accordi

st. Paul Pioneer-P Press: According
to testimony offered at the trial of
the indicted packers at Chicago, the
imitation Of the United States Steel
corporation, which set a high record,
q pin money transaction COM
pared with what the meat barons con-
in 1902. but failed because
OF untoward financial conditions. The
steel corporation was capitalized for
81, 500, 0OO, 900 with tangible assets val
ued at about one-half that amount.
The packing interests, with tangible
property appraised at $197, 000, 900 pro-
posed to issue securities to the tune IF
S~923,000,000 and expected the
ers to pay dividends on about $685.
900. 900 of watered stock. The project
failed because. it is alleged, the New
York lnanciers who were to furnish
the necessary capital decided the time
was not suspicious for the enterprise.
This argument was also offered
against proposed renewals OF the
merger in 1903 and in 1907. The argu-
ment does not appear logical. The
maneuver which extracted the last
traction of a cent from consumers and
cattle growers was prosecuted Win
vigor whether money was tight or
easy. Stringency Of money markets
could not prevent the bookkeepers
from writing into the balance sheets
appraisements Of property at many
times its real value. The merger
failed because the stringency Of the
money market prevented the proposed
trust from unloading their inflated
stocks on the dear people, The beef
packers did not get the prize because
the goose had been pretty well robbed
of its supply Of golden g g before
they got to it.
1t is fortunate alike for the big
packers and the country that the mer-
ger did not succeed. The people would
not have ~countenanced such a scheme
of obvious plumber. it even with the
failure OF that merger. the testimony

LABOR SUPPLY
AND DEMAND

Boston, Jan. 13.-The bureau Of
statistics has just issued Labor Bull
letin No. So. and treats of unem-
ployment in the organized industries
and the labor supply and demand at
the state free employment offices.
For the quarter ending Sept. 80, COM
plete returns were received from rs
per cent of the organizations, repre-
senting approximately 20 per cent of
the aggregate trade union member
ship, and Sc per cent were reported
as unemployed. This percentage, is
lower by one point than the CORE
spending percentage $3.50 for the close
Of the preceding quarter. The con-
dition of the labor market for the
quarter showed q decided improve
ment over the same quarter last year.
There was an increased demand for
building tradesmen and metal work
ers, while the demand for general un.
skilled workers remained about the
anne as last year.

moral support to the union BARRIERS"
This movement started in the typo
graphical union at the request of Or
ganizer Fleming and quickly spread to
other unions. A few of the typogra-
phical boys bought safety razors
when they found u that sentiment
would not allow them to patronize nom
union shops, but when they failed to
find the union label on this appliance
threw them away and got into line.
The moral, support given by these
various unions has resulted in filling
the union shops of the town with GUS
toners. Many union men in other or
g~anizations than those passing resolu-
tons have also Joined in p~atronizing
these union shops.
AS result the outlook for the or
~ganization is brighter. We do not n
derstand that the question Of wages
enters into this matter so much as the
question Of hours.
After the holidays the stores of the
town close at an early hour; this is

NEW YORK, May 23.-Hopes of
American swimming enthusiasts for
success in the Olympic games have
been given a substantial boost by the
excellent performances of Duke Ka-
hanamoku, the Hawaiian champion,
since he arrived in the East. His
record of 1904 for 10 yards at the
University of Pennsylvania yesterday
is very close to worlds record.
In the Olympic swimming series
this event will be decided in open
water, at which style the Hawaiian
is without a peer in the world. He
hopes to make a new worlds record
which will stand for all time, and un-
Ger favorable conditions believes he
can go the course in one minute nat.
1t is generally conceded that the
American Olympic team will be com.
posed of seven swimmers and two
divers. H. J. Hebner,. Percy McGilli-
vray, J. H. Reilly, Arthur McAleenan,
Jr. and George Gaidaid are likely to
lie chosen to keep the duke com
