 The plan of the Gilbert & Bennett CO. tO R1Ve CnelT IlplOyeS u SJeiLGIbdy half holiday with no reduction in pay did not meet with the approval of all the han-s. some of them suggesting an amendment by which the shops would continue in operation Saturday afternoon with proportional compen- sation. These dissenters cared less for an increase of leisure than for the chance which their proposed plan would afford to increase their earn
 ings. Owing to this division of sen timent among the men in regard to the original proposition the company compromised matters by adhering to the half holiday arrangement and 1 granting an all around five per cent increase in the wage scale.
 Contractor Read with two teams and Contractor Banks with one team began on Monday the carting of gravel to be placed where it was needed for the betterment of condi- tions on the Little York road. They had received notice from the road.
