And Others at Clarendon Given Nine
hour Day.
RUTLAND, Feb. 12.-Raises in wages
for the employees of the Vermont Mar
bic company and a nine hour WORKING
day at the same wages hitherto paid
for 10 hours for the employees of the
Clarendon Marble company are the two
latest developments in the Rutland
county labor situation, which has late
~ exhibited vague signs of unrest.
The raises given by the Vermont
Marble company will result, it is said
IN the abandonment of the policy hi+h-
erto pursued by the company giving
quarry machine operators annual bon,
uses. The increase was not general
one, but it is said that a majority of
the employees at the West Rutland plant
and number of those EMPLOYED in tbe
company s Center Rutland plant are af-
fected.
The advances range from one cent to
70 cents per day. The machine runners.
who have been receiving $50. oct a
ralse of Is cents per day This is prac-
tlcally the largest advance given.
The action of the Clarendon Marble
company in adopting the nine-hour
schedule at the old 10-hour dav rate. is
IN IN eHect an increase of 10 per cent. The
Clarendon company pays its machine
runners $50 day, and company of
iiclal states that the lowest wage paid
by the concern is about So a day.
Inc l2o men employed at the Claren-
endon company's plant are working in
day and night shifts in an effort Ia
keep pace with orders Orders enough
to keep the plant going at full capacity
for the next eight months have already
been received, according to a statement
made by the manager recently. The
company plans to enlarge its plant ma.
terially in the spring.

Town Meeting Democracy.

Town meeting time is only a month
away. While opponents of real dem
ocraey, the professional politicians, may
object in many cases to this form of
government it is nevertheless the best
system ever devised for small town
government, system that is condemned
by office seekers quite frequently as it
is almost impossible to pack the meet
ing. Town meetings furnish the best
known means for the expression of the
VIII OF the people and that expression
generally comes freely and fully, with
every voter on the floor given an OPP
portunlty to say what is in his hand.
voters, by the way, should make sure
tnat thelr names are on the check list
OF the town or they will not be al
lowed to vote next month.

Two years ago the suffragists, it is claimed, were perfectly willing to leave it, but the defeats since that time have changed their opinions as to their power.
