The prospect of a satisfactory adjust

on Wednesday, although the officers Of
State Labor Commissioner Roscoe Ed

again with all the lasters on Wednes-
day at Foresters' hall. Gardiner.
The following proposition was sub
United to the lasters by the r. P. Haz-
card Co. and was not accepted:
Whereas there seems to be some
question in regard to the re-adjust-
ment of piece prices in the lasting de-
partment of the r. p. Hazard Co. and
whereas it seems desirable for all par
ties concerned that the adjustment be
made with as little disturbance to the
running of the factory as possible it
has been resolved that it is best for the
men of this department to remain at
work under the following arrange
ment:
"First, that any REIMBURSEMENT Of
piece prices shall apply to all work done
after Monday morning, Jan. 18th, and
that all money due on such an adjust
ment after the new prices have been
determined shall become payable as
soon as possible to adjust the amount.
Second. the r. p. Hazard Co. affirm
that they wish to maintain at least An
equal quality of workmanship to that
which has been done Of late and they
are willing TO recognize in the adjust

postcard shower and second. by enter
ing her home without warning. 1t was
a real surprise, but she rallied to the
occasion and with appreciation receiv-
ed her guests. All this was brought
about because one day in the past. in
the Methodist parsonage in Gardiner, a
marriage ceremony was performed by
Rev, George D. Lindsey. Mr.. Carle-
ton also received the guests with cor
diality. Musical selections were en-
poyed and the time was spent socially.
Ere the close Of the evening Miss Ju-
