QUINCY CUTTERS
PASS RESOLUTION
TO STAND TOGETHER
Vote Said to Have Been Taken in Order
to Prevent a Separation Like
That Which Occurred
in Barre.

Quincy, Mass, March AT a meeting
of the granite cutters union yesterday,
the following committee was chosen to
confer with committee from the manu-.
facturers' association with a view 20
drawing up a new agreement in place Of
the bin which expired Tuesday night
and which expiration caused suspension
of work: James f. Reid. Loretto Tocei,
Matti kaukola, James Kelley and Angus
Kerr.
In view of the stories that have been
circulated about dissension among mem
bers Of the union, an Italian member Of
fered u resolution that in the present
trouble all factions stand together and
that no division of opinion exist between
the nationalities, so that there would be
no repetition OF the Barre, VT, affair.
This resolution was carried by a unani-
nous vote, with over 1000 members at
tending the meeting.
When the mems committee meet the
an offer for a three-year
agreement will be made. Ii the manufac-
turers do not care to accept that propo-
sition the men, it Is said, will seek FIVE
year agreement and will accept no other
alternative.
Business men throughout the city can
not understand why the difference OF
one year should be allowed to tie up the |
entire granite industry. 1t seems to be |
The consensus of opinion among business |
men not connected with the granite
trade that peace for a long term of years
IS the preferable alternative.

OFFENSIVE DELIVERED
SOUTHEAST OF VERDUN
This Gives Color to Prevail
ing Military Opinion in
Paris That the Verdun
Offensive w S M e r e y
Halted-Estimates Of the
German Losses as High as
10000

After a lull in infantry operations in
the vicinity of Verdun since the early
part of the week, there has been a re-
sumption of the German offensive in the
Woevre district. A violent bombardment
was followed by a spirited attack on the
French at Fresnes, 10 miles southeast of
verdun. Paris reports driving out the
Germans from the few positions which
they succeeded in penetrating in their
assault. The new attack gives color to
the prevailing military opinion in Paris
that the German offensive at verdun had
merely halted
The estimates of German losses are
running high in entente quarters, one
from Paris to-day placing them between
125,ooo and 10000. All accounts from
German sources, however, have declared
the casualties of the attacking armies
were surprisingly small.
