The greatest speech of the whole session in either house was made late yesterday afternoon by Mr. fane of Barre, and everybody is talking about it.

Men who knew nothing about the merits i the bill and who were oat side the ball were attraacted back to listen and out of admiration for the speaker came down to their seats and voted for bis cause Barre has reason to be proui of her yuumiui representative who has (rain ed the most enviable reputation for nonor ana aouit; oi anv man in the legislature. jboth bouses have votel to have the final adjournment at elebt o'clock Friday morning, December 12th.

The Senate ad jour ea yesterday afternoon until o'ciooKJfflooday The Barre City Charter bill was tak- ec up this morning in the House on motion of Mr. Bailey of Newbury, read the third time by title only, and was passed Dy a unanimous vote.

The most interesting event of the forenoon occured when Mr. O'Stillivan of St. Albans rose to a question of privilege and referred to an editorial in the Free Press of this morning which casts oy inference at least sus picion on members of the committee on temperance especially the sub com mittee hinting that the i rovislon relating to prohibition of saloons selling liquor within 400 feet of a church or school. He said ti first place the sta'e- inent in the Free Press is false and he entered a most indignant protest aga inst such com i ent. He said that the provision was in the bill when the bill went to the main committee from the sub committee and likewise when it went from the main oommlttee to the House nd Senate.

The bill as printed for the Senate bad the provision in all right but tbe printer of tbe House bills omitted a few lines by mistake and was compell ed to insert tbe same by a typewritten si though the error was discovered in season to move most of tbose bills nrin ted oorrectlv. Mr. Sullivan de nounced tbe action of the Free Press editor as most unbecoming and despicable.

The gran ite cotters and blacksmiths unions have notified the Granite Manufact urer-s association or of a number of changes desired in tbe bill oi prices unaer wnicn one men are now at work. The Manufacturers Association have also given notice of a desired These notices were sent in compliance witb the present bill of prices adopted Marcb 1, 1900, which provides that if any changes are desired notice shall be given in December of tbe year pre vious to their taking effect.

The granite cutters ask that the minimum price per day for day work shall be increased from $2 64 to 2 90 and the average pay per day shall be increased from $2.80 to $3.08 and that the scale of prices for piece work shall be increased 10 per oent.

What tbe manufacturers desire Is that day men shall also be in cluded.

MaxsnftOo. WMbarMaV THE OF LABOR. The Week Amonfe The Work ers, And Items Of Interest For Working Men. The milk dealers of Barre. (I should sy milk speculators) are possessed of a rich hunch of humor and they can make it pay Last week I received, along with my modest quart and a half of milk, a circular, describing me as a dear friend and politely in tlmating tbat I was to be charged twenty percent more for my milk in tbe future I could not help thinking tbat the "dear" friend was on tbe other side of the fence this time, and that I was expected to be the cheap one.

But one or tbe dealers? (specuuv torsi has carried the lose still fur tber and has had tbe hardihood to come out in the public press and say tnu this increa is because of tbe In creased cost of farming. Those who read the papers know that tbe cost of running a milk farm is less now than it was twelve months ago, but apart from that, most of the Barre milk dealers buy their milk of tbe farmers at 2 cents a quart and have nothing to do with farminr at all, Indeed I know of one who has lust Concluded a contract with a farmer to supply him with milk at 2 cents a quart for five years. This man is one of those who got up tbe "dear friends' circular, and so we can see tbat it is not tbe 'poor farmer" who is asking ior more, but tne speculator, pure ana simple. The firmer gets 2 cents for tbe wbole trouble of produ cingthe milk and tbe speculator wants 3 for pouring it into our milk cans at tbe door. But tbe Co operative Society is out on tbe job and the cnancjs are we may soon get milk without the dealer or middleman.

Anyhow I will see these milk distributers banged, drawn and iuirtorod before I pay tbem il cents to pour a quart of milk Into my can. By the way, I wonder bow many workmen in Barre have stopped to eonsider bow much this little piece of impudence on tbe part of tbe milk middlemen means. A milk man witb a supply of 500 quarts a day, and wbo was getting before $12.50 for delivering it would now receive $17.50 and at tie end of the year he would have pulled out of our i ake the whole population of isarre and allow that tbey use one pint of milk a day wnien is a very modest computation and we find tbat at the end of tbe year our mils speculators take out of us by tbis rise $13,250. If tbe city or state Imnosed an iu creased tax of sucb an amount fon reads or schools, there would ta such a yell of rage that tbe world would shiver on its bat private traders do it at tbair own sweet will so long as the people, refuse to do things or themselves. Judge Boyce made a mistake the other nigbt wben he went up to sup- pert tne boycott oiin before the liouse committee, nnd found it was not tbat bill but the corapulsciy arbitration- bill tbat was to be considered.

Tbe judge practically admitted be was representing Wbeaton the only non-union quirrymn in and bad two of Wbeaton's workmen, to back him up. Vv will sze bisQ again when tae Boycott bill comes up and will be de lighted to discuss its provisions with htm. As it was he took up the time of the committee discussing a matter tbat was not before the Mouse. I understand tbat a few of the Barre trade unionists have deoided to entertain some of th most advanced members of the legislature at supper on Tuesday nigbt, in our own town and in our own way. This is as it sbould be and if tbe list of those to be present is anything like tbe one I saw the affair certainly has all the elements tbat go to make up a most enjoyable evening.

The Rev. B. C. Roberts is to open the series of lectures arranged by tbe Barre Socialist section. Wednesday nigbt first is tbe date appointed and It is to be delivered in the oity oouit room.

Most working men woald say in an off band sort of way, that they know what the benefits of a shorter work day are, but I venture to say that Mr. Roberts will point out to them very many ways the shorter day helps us tbat we most times fail to realize.
