Working With Apprentices-Quar-
ries Have Not Reopened.

All granite plants in Barre, except
ing that Of the Presbrey Leland com
pany, are supposed to be operating to-
day on the open shop plan, but aside
from few apprentices and the pro-
prietors in some of the smaller firms.
il Is not recorded that any granite cut
ters are working. One sharpening plant
is said TO have started up with one un-
ion sharpener working.
While ii has been the talk that the
quarries might try to begin operations
to-day, no such attempt was made and
no time is given when efforts viii be
made to open them up.

turned to work.

tion presents Sabbath calm. But it
