 The whole affair dates back seven years ago. At that time an agree ment was made by MT. Sage and Co1o- mel Jarvis foreman that the fence would be erected by the latter. Mr. Sage called the fence viewers about three weeks ago to determine the matter. A. A. Weldon, who is now foreman for Colonel Jarvis after hearing of the previous agreement, said he would erect the necessary fence. This was considered satisfac- tory and the matter was thought closed. After the inspection, the se- 1ectmen will endeavor to effect an am- icable settlement.

 settled, everything would move se- | renely, but this has not been the case. ! It Is also rumOred that all is not
 well among the manufacturers. Some, 1 if is said, have made practice of l turing helpers from other yards and
 as a result of retaliation, the men are l benef1tlng by abnormal increases. | After the strike, a scale of wages for
 various jobs was made but 1t has not
