Observations of the corresponding sec
rotary of the Barre branch rs they APP
pear in the current issue of the Granite
Cutters journal do not bear out the
claim Of manufacturers and some union
members that the signing of the armi-
stice win mean marked increase in the
number of granitecutters available for
service in the Barre industry. The sec.
rotary, after referring to news stories
concerning the return of granite workers
and to an interview with well known
quarry owner, makes a statement of
fact in which it Is known that the mem
bership in the Barre branch is decreased
month by month. The correspondent Of
the journal also suggests that news mat
ter and interviews cited were inspired
for an apparent purpose. In an inform
ing article the secretary, incidentally,
expresses the opinion that the building
end of the granite industry may claim
the employment of many artisans who
hitherto have worked on monuments.
