Tool Sharpeners Delay Settlement in Granite Strike
Quincy March 11 At today’s meeting the striking granite cutters ratified a settlement proposal but voted not to return to work Monday due to a failed agreement with tool sharpeners and manufacturers. A night conference failed over employing apprentices and journeymen in blacksmith shops, with sharpeners preferring apprentices. The tool sharpeners, allied with the National Granite Cutters Union, would gain national support if the strike continues, and next week’s work hinges on their cooperation for tool sharpening. A manufacturers and stone cutters meeting is set for this evening.

Plan for New School Draws Fire Over Plan Choice
Chairman Wm W Duncan of the school board criticizes the superintendent of lands and buildings for overstepping the board in selecting plan No 3 for the new school. He says the board unanimously favored plan No 3 and should have final say, while Graves and Stickney proposals were also debated. The committee on education reportedly did not defer to the board, prompting calls for the board to determine occupancy and design. The seven board members backed plan No 3.
