SPARK PLUG HINTS.
Frequent Inspections and Cleaning
Helm Keen Them Fit.

ANY motorist. with little caution,
may care for his spark plugs" says the
maker of AC spark plugs.
First, he should buy good plugs, the
best he can get. In installing them he
should be careful not TO strike the In
sulators w.fh .ue wrench. He should
make frequent Z, spactions. cleaning the
shell and insulator with gasoline, and
make certain that the gap Is proper.
There is no other attention which the
amateur mechanic is qualified to give
that can produce such beneficial results

Eight Cents An Hour Cut
For All Except Unskilled,
Who Lose 13 Cents
BOSTON CONFERENCE
RECOMMENDS
The Reductions, If Accept
ed, Are Effective AS
Of July 1, 1921

Attorney S. Hollister jackson, presi-
dent of the international Monumental
Granite Producers association, who
with James G. Pirie of Barre represent
ed the National Quarry Owners asso-
citation at the conference in Boston of
the quarry owners and operators with
the executive officers of the Quarry
Workers International union, has re-
turned to the city. At this conference
it was unanimously recommended that
the wages of the quarry workers be re-
duced, beginning July ], 1921.
The recommendation calls for re-
duction of eight cents an hour in all
classes of workmen named in the sup
Elemental agreement of May II, 1920,
except in class D regarding unskilled
labor. where a reduction of l3 cents
an hour is recommended. These reduc-
tions will be in effect July /, as stated,
if approved by the majority Of the
Quarrk Workers International union
and the members of the national mon
umental. paving and building associa-
tions. 1t il understood that the quarry
owners. representatives asked for a
fiat reduction all along the line of l3
cents an hour, which in effect would
wipe out the whole increase granted ly
the supplementary agreement year
ago. But the quarry workers represen-
tatives, though willing to concede some
reduction on account of the change in
the cost of living and the conditions of
the industry, were unwilling to recon-
mend SO large cut, IL finally entered
into the above recommendation, which
was unanimously accepted
The monumental industry was rep
resented by Attorney Jackson and Mr..
Pirie, while other branches of the gran
ite industry were represented by Frank
Sullivan of Westerly, r. L.. and Henry
c. Smalley Of Quincy, Mass. The In

association membership and the mum.

creasing rapidly. The employees are
largely young women.
Brattleboro had real part in keep
ing the secretary's office here. as when
il was learned that those favorable to
its removal were making determined
effort to go into the meeting with
enough proxies to dominate the busi.
ness the Brattleboro Chamber of Com
merce raised $4,000 among the business
men to help the state organizations in
New England, New York and Pennsyi-
vania secure enough proxies TO thwart
the movement. The two factions Sc
cured over $4,000 proxies. but the
Houghton Gardner faction had a large
majority and put through resolution
prohibiting the directors from taking
any action relative to moving any Of.
fee previous to action by the mem
bers of national organization in con-
vention assembled.
The association ousted President ID
ID. .Aitken Of Flint, Mich, and put IN
his place ex-Gov. Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois. II also cut down the trans
fer fee from ~ to 50 cents. which will
save the members over 100000 year,
and elected four new directors.

love. Light refreshments of punch and
waters were served during the eve

London, June 3.The plan of Gen
eral Lerond, head of the interallied
commission in upper Silesia, for Great
ing neutral zone between the Ger
man and Polish forces is progressing,
according to Beuthen dispatch to the
London Times.
A British battalion is said to have
taken over the Leschnitz sector to-
day. This region had been occupied by
the German defense force.
The intention, it is declared, is to
create zone in which the carrying of
arms by civilians will not be tolerated,
gradually charging it by pushing for
ward troops in each direction, using
French soldiers against the Poles and
British forces against the Germans.
