Because New Agreement Had
Not Been Signed
STORES OPEN EXCEPT ONE
They Are Being Operated by Merchants
and Their Famihes-Several Non-as-
sociation Stores Have Signed
Clerks Proposal.

BY reason of the expiration Saturday
night of the working agreement between
merchants and clerks, and the failure of
the two bodies to effect a new one, all
union clerks, to the number of l75, failed
to go to work this morning, With the
exception OF b. A. Eastman's grocery
store. which locked its doors, all the
other stores are open and doing business
as best they can with proprietors and
apprentices waiting on trade. Mr. East
man, being sole proprietor of his store,
and having no apprentices or partners
to help him out in the work, concluded
that closing up would be the best thing
he could do,
At noon to-day the clerks reported the
following stores had signed up indivld-
ually the proposed agreement OF the
clerks Meats and provisions T. G..
Mccarthy & Sons, III So. Main street;
Joseph Shadroui, So. Main street; Union

bakery, Main street; L. H. Smith bakery,
No. Main street; teas and coffees:- Di-
rect Importing CO., Main street clothing
and gents furnishings, American Cloth
ing Co., Main street. None OF these are
members of the merchants association.
Both clerks and merchants have sub
mitted to the other proposals for settle
ment, but each practically refuses TO
consider the proposal submitted to them
and the merchants refuse to meet the
clerks to discuss bills. In fact, the two
bodies are in deadlock.
The proposals of each arc printed in
to-day's paper

TO THE PUBLIC OF BARRE AND
VICINITY.

II is now a well. known fact that there
is something to disagree on between the
agreement made by the local merchants
association and the retail clerks union :
that being so, We now give the following
particulars:
The agreements which expired on Sat.
urday. March 80, stated that when either
wishes to change the above agreement
at it's expiration three months notice
shall be given otherwise this agreement
shall continue in force.
The merchants association recognize
the now expired agreement to that ex-
tent that they notified the clerks union
that they wished a change made, on Dec
q, l0ll but until March s. 1912, never
stated what change was wanted, and at
the same time notified the clerks that
tie changes drafted by the merchants
association and offered to the retail
clerks at that date were not diseussable:
and while the clerks union has always
endeavored to reach an smicabie agree
ment with the merchants association
we have no control over the association
and could not demand the agreement be
signed before April /, and therefore are
compelled to wait until the merchants
are ready to conform with usual methods
employed with organized labor.
We. as members of organized labor.
prefer to do business with the merchants
as an association but in justice to he
convenience of the purchasing public are
now ready to make signed agreements
with individual merchants and retail
clerks union, and the names of the diff
ferent firms signing agreement will be
published so that the public will know
where goods can be procured under the
ordinary recognized methods Of doing
business in our city.
The following merchants have signed
this agreement:

EIGHTEEN HUNDRED TRUSTEES
TO MEET NEXT MONDAY
Important Duties Required at These
Sessions Attorney General cessen
Calls Attention to New Section Of
Code and Asks That Il es Observed
mo Option With Trustees.
special to Times : Republican.

Special to Times Republican:
Des Moines. Jan. 31.-More than 1.s0t
township trustee meetings will be held
next Monday in Iowa. The most i'm
portant duty at every one Of these L.
500 meetings will be to take ars
step for 1912 for good roads.
AT the February meeting said trus-
|.tees shall select superintendent OF
dragging and employ a road superin-
,.tendent.''
That is the exact language of the
Iowa law. The word shall is no,
equivalent to the word may" but is
imperative, and a failure to observe
1t will be serious.
Attorney General George C.. Cosson
called attention to this new section OF
the code and stated that he desired to
impress it upon the people of the state
that it is important to have the sec
tion understood and observed. The
section is a part Of the new law
chapter "a of the acts of the Thirty
fourth geenral assembly, one of the
little things already done by the mere
politicians" for the greater Iowa. II
defines what shall be the duty Of the
trustees at the February meeting, ana
says they shall start the road work.
Duty is Important.
There is no more important duty
imposed on the township trustees than
that which is found in this clause OF
the new law as to road improvement
said Mr.. Cosson. 1T was clearly the
intent of the legislature to put upon
the trustees the obligation to select a
superintendent of road dragging and
employ a road superintendent at the
February meeting, the first Monday in
February, and to make it impossible
for them to put off this duty until a
later date. This is a matter which
must be attended to now. There is no
option with the trustees.
THE advantage Of this arrangement
is plain. If the selection Of either of
these persons is put off until the April
meeting of the township trustees it will
be too late to get the road work started
right. 1t is almost certain that there
will be a time in March when ROAD
dragging and other work can be done
to the very greatest advantage. Early
work on the roads is sometimes of tn.
greatest Importance. These road mer
ought to have time to get ready fol-
their work and they ought to be pre-.
pared to get out on the roads Just wheI
conditions are right for the most eff.
fective work. II they are selected
February they will have this time fol
preparation.
This clause of the law goes into eff
feet this year for the first time, for the
law was passed too late for its use last
year. Every board of trustees in the
state should attend to this. duty as to
preparation for road work next Mon
day."
