CONTRACTORS REFUSE
To Grant Eight Hour Day Asked For
by Carpenters Union

Some time ago the local carpenters
union caused to be published in The
Banner a notice that on and after
April l the union carpenters in Ben
nington would demand an eight-hour
day with the same wage scale as had
prevailed under the nine-hour agree
ment
The local contractors have given
the demand consideration and have
refused to grant It, In their state
ment, which is published in full in an
other column of The Banner today,
the contractors say that they consid-
er the demand unjust because the
amount of business is insufficient to
warrant it.
The contractors further state that
on April they will terminate their
agreement with the union and that
they will hereafter conduct their af
fairs as seem best for the good of the
greatest number.
1t is further stated in the letter Of
the contractors to the secretary o.
the union that the agreement made
by the union on March 2, 1911 has no
been kept by some of the carpenter
and that the union as a body took nj

CHINESE and
White WOMAN
DEPORTED

A Chinaman and white an were
taken from train 4 early Monday morn
ing and placed in custody here, having
unsuccessfully tried to eude the immi
grafton officials.
According to the story told by the
woman, they were going to Boston to be
married, but owing to the fact that the
Celestial neither spoke nor understood
French, and as this was the only tongue
she could converse in, this story was not
generally believed. Joe Trempe was
called upon to act as an interpreter.
The couple rode about 20 miles from
Montreal in the second-class couch when
they walked back in the Pullman and pro
duced tickets calling for drawing reser-
Walton. This aroused the suspicious of
the officials of the train and immigration
Officer Allan was communicated with,
who, upon the arrival of the train here
placed them in the hands of Sheriff
Bemis who took the Chink to the bastile
and locked his female companion in the
station for the remainder of the night.
They were sent back to Montreal on
the noon train the same day, much
enlightened after their visit to our
thriving little town.
