UNION WORKMEN
UNABLE TO AGREE
Efforts of Orange Officials to
Effect Compromise on School
Contract UnavaiIing.

Despite pleas by members of the
Orange Board of Education that the
warning union groups forget their
quarrels and permit the school work
TO be finished that children of the
union men may not suffer hardship
through lack of educational facilities, -
the labor delegates, representing en-
ployes on the new Central School In
Orange. had a fruitless conference
yesterday. They were unable to reach
a settlement about finishing the job.
The recently enacted laws of the
carpenters union, which apportlons
to them the work Of putting in place
Turing strips for metal ceilings, which
has been attended to by the metal
ceiling men, and the insistence of the
masons that they be allowed to set
the slate stairs, which, the marble
workers declare, Is their labor, had
the rival delegates in two camps. The
carpenters and masons were against
the field and neither side would bulge
an inch.
The school officials suggested that
as the union rules of the carpenters
and masons went into effect after the
contracts had been awarded they
might allow the work to proceed ac-
cording to the original plans, but this
was not acceptable to the representa-
tives of those unions. and the talkfest
wound up without result.
Efforts to compromise failed. the
offer of the school authorities TO aid
being rejected. As the men of the
rival groups are willing to work on
other parts of the contract not in
volved in the dispute. the officials,
who want the school opened as soon
as possible to relieve congestion of
pupils, are hopeful the contractor,
Richard L. Tobin may not be har-
assed by the union fights. and that
much of the work may be pushed
ahead At the meeting of the FEEDER
ated Trades Council on Tuesday night
the union men were sharply criticized
by one of the delegates for their atti-
tude in the school work.

Milk Commission Plans to
Grade Supply in the Oranges

The Joint MIX Inspection Commits
the Joint Milk Inspection Commits
sion of the Oranges last night de-
cided to incorporate into its rules
and regulations the proposed ordi-
nance providing for the grading of all
milk used In the five municipalities.
1t is believed that it can be as eff
fectively enforced in this manner as
IL could be in ordinance form, while
the five municipalities will be spared
the expense of each passing sepa-
rate ordinance.
The measure, which is the work of
Health officer Frank ]. Osborne, of
Orange, secretary of the commission,
is intended to make it possible for
milk users to select the grade they
choose instead of requiring that all
milk brought into the Oranges shall
be kept below the 100000 bacterial
count. The ordinance was presented
at a meeting of the commission last
night for approval, after which 1t
was to have been submitted to the
councils of each Of the Oranges for
passage. The substance of the meas
ure will probably undergo some slight
changes before it is made part OF
the regulations governing the milk
supply.
