As 'a result of thf protest of the Union, ifayor Mortimer A. Sullivan and the Board of Aldermen had a special meeting at the bridge Wednesday afternoon, but Mr. Bassett was not there. The foreman said he had used four carpenters to date, one an out-of-town man.

Three had quit, be asserted, and the out-of-town man was the only one he could secure. The aldermen were from other sources, that the regular scale of wages was not being paid. The Union contended that the only carpenter on the Job was not a resident of Newport.
