A visit of Chief of Police Converse 
to Forest street and North Yarmouth 
section of Manchester, Sunday, gave 
rise to the rumor that some of the 
Italians said to be selling liquor in 
that section had been raided. There 
was no truth in the story, however, 
we learned on investigation. The 
chief did visit that section though. 
The fact that he did not raid some of 
the “kitchen bar-rooms’” does not 
mean that he ought not to do so. If 
he is so insistent on closing the hotels 
of the town, he ought to be just as in- 
sistent in closing the Italian “joints.”

CARPENTERS May Ask 50c AN Hour. 
Union carpenters along the North 
Shore may request a further increase 
of wages. This will be determined by 
a vote of the various Carpenter unions 
in this vicinity which has been taken 
and is now being sent to the District 
Council headquarters at Salem. 
The present wage paid union car- 
penters along the shore is 47 3-4 cents 
an hour. The proposition to increase 
the price of each hour’s labor to 50 
cents or $4 for each day’s labor of 
eight hours is the matter which is now 
being considered by the unions. 
The result of the vote of the various 
locals will be sent to the District 
Council. To become operative the new 
schedule must be sanctioned by a two- 
thirds vote of all members voting. 
Should the schedule be adopted, it 
will become operative on May 1 of 
next year,, at which time the demands 
for that price will be made by the un- 
ion carpenters of the master builders.
