NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
CARPENTERS’ STRIKE 
Demands of the Carpecters for 41 Cents an 
Hour, Granted by Practically All the Con- 
tractors 
Tuesday morning the demands of 
the carpenters all along the shore for 
a 41 cents an hour rate went into 
effect, and as a number of the con- 
tractors refused to sign the schedule, 
work was suspended in a great many 
cases. All of Roberts & Hoare’s 
men in Manchester went out, but 
Wilson of Nahant, who has the Frick 
job at Pride’s Crossing in hand, kept 
his men at work. 
Of the 45 or more concerns hiring 
carpenters and thereby directly 
affected by the demands, nineteen 
signed the schedule on the first day 
and others have signed during the 
week, till last night 38 had replied 
favorably to the demands. 
Those who had not signed were 
Roberts & Hoare and C. L. Crafts of 
Manchester; Publicover Bros. of 
Beverly Farms; Prince Ober and 
Samuel Dexter of Beverly, and Pit- 
man & Brown of Salem.

RED MEN CELEBRATE 
The 13th Anniversary of Conomo Tribe, 133, 
in Manchester, the Occasion of a Very 
Delightful Evening 
The 13th anniversary of Conomo 
tribe, 113, I.O.R.M., of Manchester 
will go down in the history of that 
organization as one of the red letter 
events of its life, for the occasion was 
indeed one of a most delightful nature. 
The affair was held in the Town 
hall, which was well-nigh filled by the 
members of the order and their friends. 
The entertainment, furnished by 
Lancy & Blaney of Marblehead, with 
a strong personnel assisting, was one 
of rare merit, and it is safe to say the 
combination is hard to beat. Al 
Meader, the reader, was the star of 
the evening. His humorous selections 
and character sketches hit well and 
kept the house in a continuous roar of 
laughter. Mr. Kelley, tenor, was in 
fine voice and his selections were 
much enjoyed, while Messrs. Lancy 
and Blaney were right at-home on 
their several instruments. Mr. Barry 
was at the piano. 
Refreshments of ice-cream, cake 
and crackers were served after which 
the hall was cleared and dancing was 
enjoyed till midnight. The grand 
march was led by Mr. and Mrs. F. K. 
Swett, followed by 30 couples. The 
committee in charge was composed of 
George Gould, chairman; A. S. Pea- 
body, Manuel Thomas, Wm. Mitchell, 
M. A. McInnis, W. R. Bell, L. W. 
Floyd and J. A. Lodge. 
5th—All men sent away on jobs 
shall have their car fares paid by 
the employer. 
6th—All men shall be paid on or

We Dislike 
Telling Tales — 
on the bargain man 
—but the fact is, we, 
in common with other 
dealers, have to suffer 
from “Bargain House” 
tactics. Mattings over 
a year old are practi- 
cally. worthless for 
hard wear —then the 
straws become dry and 
brittle, causing the 
wholesaler and im- 
porter to sell out at 
Auction at the best 
prices they can get — 
which is very little. It 
is from such sales that 
some dealers buy most 
of their mattings—Our 
Mattings come in di- 
rect from China and 
Japan — You’re sure to 
get these goods from 
us. It pays in better 
wearing carpets.
