Concord, N. H., April 26. Labor
Commissioner John s. B. Davie be
lieves that the granite manufacturers

played by both sides in the considera-
tion Of the oversight by the manufac-
turers in leaving out an announcement
that labor trouble exists in their first

sioner Davie to this conclusion. The
commissioner says:
"Ihe spirit of fairness shown by
both parties upon this question leads
the commissioner to believe that they
might be able to reach an amieable adj
justment of their differences by pro-
ceeding under the provisions of section

way to settle differences, while on the
other hand it is the most expensive.

this morning in the bathroom OF their

The bodies were found by maid,
who came to straighten the rooms.
The examiner considered the possi-
bility that the aged couple had been
stricken by ptomaine poisoning, but
added that the fact that neither had
attempted to summon assistance, tend
ed to discredit this theory.
