Norwich bulletin., 1916-05-03

the expected settlement was not reached May 1. It is understood that each paving cutter will be notified di- rect by their former employers of the final decision on the demand made for higher wages and changes in working conditions. Four hundred paving cut- ters in Maine employed at St. George, Vine Haven and Wild Cat and Long Cove, employed by the Booth Brothers, St. George Granite company, Joseph Leopold company and J. S. Black, quit work Monday pending settlement of their demand for increased wages. Paving cutting operations in these Maine quarries has ceased and unless there is early settlement the manu- facturerS say that the quarr1eS must be shut down. This would about double the number of idle granite workers in these places.
 The barge Montana, with 300 tons of coal consigned to Charles J. Butler, Westerly, sprung a leak at Jersey City the barge is under three feet of water at low tide and therefore there will be difficulty in raising the craft with cargo aboard. It is probable that a large portion of the cargo will be pumped out before the barge can be raised to the surface and lowed to marine railways for repairs, which must be made before the Montana can be utilized in the coa1-carrying trade.
 The two -masted schooner Beatrice L. Corkum, lumber laden, from Liver pool, Nova Scotia, for New York, that. struck on Catumb reef Friday after noon, and perhaps damaged beyond re- pair, hoated from the reef during Mon- day night and at daybreak Tuesday was on Watch Hill reef. having fioated a distance of nearly two miles. The cargo had been Iightered and the ves- sel stripped by the T. A. Scott Wreck was planned to haul the schooner from Catumb reef on Tuesday Now the work of the wreckers has been trans- ferred to Watch Hill reef.
 The T. A. Scott company made an offer for the vessel just as she was on Catumb, but the offer was declined, the owners being of the opinion that the vessel could be f1oated repaired and continued in service. As the ves- sel was partially full of water, the captain and crew were not aboard and the Corkum foated with the high tide and drifted to Watch Hill
