HIGH COST OF
 DYING NOV
Granite Cutters Get Wage Increase-Tombstones
 Cost More.

It's not only the High Cost of Liv- ing that you'll have to worry about now but the high cost of dying as well. Some time ago doctors in creased their charges, next came the underta-hers, and now the granite cutters of New England get new wage rate which is going to increase the price of tombstones and monu- ments at least 75 per cent. higher than last year.
 The Bridgeport cutters were granted a 20 per cent. increase today but news from other and larger granite cities states that 35 per cent. has been giver there which means that Bridgeport will have to "toe the mark Three firms in the city, the Jackson Stone company, Hughes and Chapman, and James Sexton and Son, are affected 1 by the increase, the rest of the stone yards employing non-union help.

 The communication favoring day light saving wa- received from the employees of W. A. Smith & Son of Cannon street, numbering 35 alto- gether.

 OF FLAT FISH Cold Weather and Ice Pre- vented Early Start This
 Year.

The Giant the power fishing boat under command of Captain W. Metz ger, is the first boat of the season to tie up at the public float at the lower Stratford avenue bridge with a load of flat fish.
 Captain Metzger took his boat over to the Long Island shore yesterday and returned with nine bushels of fish. He left at 3 o'clock in the morning and returned at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The fishing this year is very late. Usually the first catch is in Feb ruary, but the cold weather and ice this year prevented the fishermen from making an earlier start.
 Captain Wiclzs of the power boat G. W. Terry also arrived with a catch of eight bushels and he also tied up to the same float The fish were selling very fast this morning and the captains expect to dispose of their cargoes before the 1 day is over.
