The extreme lengths to which Ger

wildly by the receipt here in Barre,

ing material. from Bavarian granite
manufacturers. Alluring terms &nd
prices are offered.
A prominent Barre manufacturer
took the price list and figured out the
corresponding price here of each item.
1t was interesting TO find that the
German prices on 80 models shown was
about half the Barre price. This was
OF course at the dock at a German
port, and did not include shipping
across the ocean, tariff and freightage.
The tariff now, however, is so low as to
amount to very little.

OF FORMER RAILROAD
ADMINISTRATION
Permits Question to Be
Taken Upfor Negotiation
on Any Individual Rail-
road as Prescribed by the
Transportation Act.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE United State
railroad labor board to-day authorize
the railroads to open negotiations wit
the unions for the restoration of piec
work, barred by rule of the shol
crafts national agreement, enteres
into under the former railroad admin
istration.
The board to-day handed down |
supplementary decision amendinfi seven
teen more rules of the shop craft'
agreement. The opinion was given II
the case of the Chicago and North
western Railway company against ths
railway employees department Of tlt
American Federation Of Labor. With
the exception of the piece work order
all the rules dealt with minor and
technical shop practices.
As amended, rule No. reads:
Eight hours shall constitute day !
work. All employees coming under the
provisions Of this agreement, except
as otherwise provided in this schedule
Of rules, or as may hereafter be legal
1y established between the carrier and
the employees, shall be paid on the
hourly basis.
"This rule is intended TO remove
the inhibition against piece work con-
tanned in rule one of the shop crsfts
national agreement and to permit the
question to be taken up for negotia-
tion on any individual railroad in the
manner prescribed by the transporta
tion act"
The railway executives, II is report
ed, also will consider proposal to
seek an amendment to the transpor-
tation act transferring TO the inter
state commerce commission the wage
adjusting authority now vested in the
railroad labor board.
The railway executives declined TO
indicate what definite steps were un
der discussion for proposing further
wage reductions. which under their
plan would be necessary before s,up-
pers could expect freight reduction.
The july wage reduction of Il pcr
cent ordered by the railroad labor
board, the executives declared, merely
etaved off bankruptcy for many roads.
The strike vote of the brotherhoods
and shop crafts resulting from this
wage cut, it was declared by the exec
utives, was but a force 20 ward off
any further reductions. Some Of the
union leaders admitted that the vote
did not mean a general walkout of the
railroad employees, although it was re-
ported that Oct. 30 had been tenta-
lively agreed upon by the union heads
for sectional strikes of the employees
If strikes were finally decided upon.
"The men do not want TO quit
work." said W. G.. Lee, president Of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men. "The officers of the various un-
ions don't want 10 declare a walkoat,
because they know such action wcull
be fool-hardy.'
