GRANITE MEN FIRM
FOR OPEN SHOP PLAN
Manufacturers of Barre District to Go
Straight Ahead on Ameri-
can Plan

BARRE, July 2l-Straight ahead on
the American plan, regardless of defec-
tlons, is the policy of the granite in
dustry in the Barre district, as indi-
Gated by the Joint meeting of the Gran
lite Manufacturers association and the
Barre Quarry Owners association on
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was one of
the largest meetings of granite men in
years and because of the crowded at
tendance the manufacturers and quar-
riers were compelled to adjourn from the
association rooms to the hall in the
Quarry Bank building
What transpired at the meeting is
told in the following report prepared
by the secretaries of the association
and board of control:
The only action taken had to do
with reaffirmatlons of confidence in the
course marked out by the board of con
troll of the granite industries and in
the successful effort which the Barre
quarry owners are making. A unani-
nous vote of thanks and confidence in
the board of control brought every
manufacturer and quarter in the hQll
to his feet. Likewise the vote of conf
dence in the local quarry owners was
carried without a dissenting vote.
Manufacturers came from every
town in the district and encouraging
reports of progress made were given, the
largest number of men employed by
single manufacturer being 90. Informal
speeches bearing on the two motions
reflected a continually growing solid
arity of sentiment among the employers
These expressions were supplemented
by an opening message delivered bv Presi-
dent ii ]. NJ Jones of the association
His address was approved and adopted
unanimously as summing up the atti-
tude of the manufacturers in the dis
trict

polntment soon Of a federal commission
to arbitrate the issues in the coal strike,
coupled with demand that miners and

the outcome of the deliberatiS<s. was
forecast last night when telegraphic cor
respondence between President Harding
and Gov. William G.. Sproul of Pennsyl-
vania was made public at the White
House.
The President indicated that such n
commission would be comprised solely Of
representatives of the American public
and would be vested with extensive au-
thority. The original commission pro-
posed by the President would have Eaen
composed of three representatives of the
operators. three miners and five repre-
senting the public.
Action will be taken by the President
if it develops within a few DAYS that
the operators are unable to resume pro-
ductiOn Mt their mines. The indications
up to this time have been that the
ranks of the miners would hold firm. and
that without direct federal government
