Agreement Signed Saturday
Night Expires a Month
After Barre Bill h
JUMPERS HAVE NOT
SETTLED AS ct
Cutters Bill J Conditional
on Accep' SS-e by the
G. C. l. =. Executive

Bethel March PA four-year agree
ment to expire March 81, 1920, was
signed Saturday night by Supt. w C..
! Clifford of the Woodbury. Granite com
pany and the members of the committee
of the granite cutters union representing
the local branch. The members of the
committee which has conducted negotia-
tions throughout the period of the con-
troversy now happily ended are John Ca
hill, Mark Savage, Hale Richards, George
Sturk and Joseph Rossi. The bill as
signed is practically the old Bethel bill
except for the change in price to 80 cents
per hour minimum for stonecutters.
The delay in reaching an agreement is
understood to have been due to the wish
of the men for Ave, year period, bring
ing the expiration year later than that
OF the Barre granite belt, Hardwick and
other places. As it is, the men are con
graduating themselves that their bill. If
not year later, will expire a month
later than Others in Vermont and
month nearer the time previously con
tested for by the workers, May /, and
farther from the time suggested by the
manufacturers, which was Jan. |.
The agreement, as signed, is subject to
the approval of the international officers
of the granite cutters organization but
is not expected to be rejected by them,
as all important clauses OF the agree,
ment had met with their approval pre-
viously except the duration, which, in
view of the conditions named above, it is
not believed will prove stumbling
block.
Everybody here regards the incident as
closed and the courteous manner in which
all the negotiations have been carried on
has been remarked many times by the
onlookers. The members of the strike
committee praise Mr.. Clifford for his pa
thence and friendliness, while he has only
warm words of regard for the committee.
Mr.. Clifford left yesterday for a few
days absence in Hardwick and New York
without having concluded an agreement
with the Jumpers union, but there is
feeling that their agreement will not be
delayed long. Until the Jumpers strike
IS settled, however, there can, OF course,
De no general resumption of work by the
'utters, although preparations to resume
work will be under way soon.
Superintendent Clifford seemed pleased
hat the cutters new agreement will ex-
ire on the same day as the one with the
Bethel quarry workers.

THREE BRITISH
SEAPLANES LOST
German Fleet Was Sent Out
to Meet the Raiders, but
Only a Few Torpedo Boats
Got in Contact with the
British, Says the German
Report

London, March GA German torped
boat is missing since the sea fghtinj
which followed British air raids Satur
day morning on German aviation shed
On northern Schleswig Holstein, accord
ing to the official German statement re
ceived here by wireless. which says:
The English naval aeroplane at
tack on the North Friscan coast
failed completely Two armed fish
ing steamers on outpost service fell
victims to English vessels. Our ma
val aeroplanes attacked the English
naval fighting forces and succeeded
In scoring a number of hits and in
seriously damaging one torpedo boat
destroyer. OF the naval fighting
forces which we sent Immediately
only a few torpedo boats came in
touch with the returning enemy dur
ing the night of March 25. One of
these torpedo boats has not yet re-
turned.
The British official statement admits
that three British seaplanes, which took
part in the raid, are missing. The state
ment given out last night is as follows
An attack by British seaplanes
was delivered yesterday morning
upon German airship sheds in Schles
wig Holstein, eastward of the Island
of Sylt. The seaplanes were con-
voyed to their rendezvous close to
the German coast by an escorting
force Of light cruisers and destroyers
under Commodore Tyrwhitt.
Three of the seaplanes which took
part in the attack are missing. The
destroyer Medusa was in collision
with the destroyer Laverock and it
is feared that in the stormy weather
which prevailed last night the Me-
dusa may have been lost, but no
misgivings are felt as to the safety
of the crew. Two German armed
patrol vessels were sunk by our de-
stroyers.
No detailed report has vet been re-
ceived, but from Danish press mes
sages it would appear that this op-
GRAFTON, which was carried out with
in the enemy's waters, achieved its
object.

the Mediterranean last Wednesday he
received a wireless call for help from
the Minneapolis, which said that the
steamer had just been torpedoed and
was sinking.

The Minneapolis was a steamer of 49,.
543 tons gross. She was built in 1900
lat Belfast and was owned by the Atlantic
Transport company. Late shipping rec
ords do not give the movements of the
vessel, which probably was in the Brit
ish governments service. Prior to the
war the Minneapolis piled between Amer
lean ports and London.
The Minneapolis after the Minnewas-
ka, was the largest OF the Minnie"
steamers in the Atlantic transport line
fleet She was built in 1900 and car
ried passengers as well as freight, The
steamer was a popular one with the
oceangoing public.
The Minneapolis was one of the steam
ers which did rescue work when the rani-
um line steamer Volturno was burned at
sea in 1913. Thirty persons from the
liner were taken into Gravesend by the
Minneapolis.
