A large dairy barn is being built at 
Ipswich for Robert Frazier of New 
York. It will be of concerte and of 
large dimensions. George S. Sinnicks 
of Manchester, has the contract for 
part of the work.

The first move is what may mean 
the solution of all the labor troubles 
centered around the extensive im- 
provemnts in progress on the George 
R. White property, Smith’s Point, 
Manchester, came yesterday when the 
Bricklayers’ and Masons’ Union of 
Beverly, voted to take the job off the 
unfair list. 
both employers and union men from 
one end of the North Shore to the 
other. 
The trouble started weeks ago when 
a non-union Boston firm was given the 
contract to do the brick veneering. The 
union men employed by other contract- 
ors, took umbrage at this work and 
first the carpenters on the job were 
called off. ‘Then the masons were tak- 
en away and the painters followed 
suit. Even union teamsters refused 
to haul lumber to the job, but a tie-up 
was prevented by the contractors in 
various lines finding men not affiliated 
with the unions who were willing to 
work on the job. ‘The first break in 
the fight of the unions came through 
The trouble has stirred ° 
the Beverly local of the bricklayers 
and masons. Business Agent Hurd 
took up the matter and put it up to the 
union that the better way out of the 
difficulty was to allow the contractors 
other than the Boston firm which gave 
the trouble to finish up the jobs, but 
putting it on the fair list so far as 
they were concerned. All the other 
contractors ran union shops and the 
3oston cancern was the only open 
shop man on the list. The contracts 
had been made long before the Bos- 
ton firm came on the job. The union 
took Mr. Hurd’s view of the matter 
and voted to put the job on the fair 
list so far as the other contractors were 
concerned who employed union help. 
It is expected that the other unions 
affected in the strike will take up the 
matter soon and will follow suit.

HER RECITATION 
“Put some spirit into it, child,” 
shouted her father; who is an actor. 
“Make some gestures. What is she 
reciting anyhow ?” he demanded of his 
wife. 
“She won’t need any gestures with 
this,’ retorted the latter. ‘She is 
reciting the multiplication table.”—

Boston OPERA Houser 
But three weeks remain of the sea- 
son at the Boston Opera House, as 
the last performance will be given on 
Saturday evening, Mar. 29. In or- 
der that the wind-up may come about 
in a blaze of glory, Director Russell 
has reserved some of his most at- 
tractive offerings for the final weeks. 
Following the remarkable success 
which “The Jewels of the Madonna” 
has attained, Mr. Russell will produce’ 
another of the Wolf-Ferrari operas on 
Friday evening next. This time it will 
be “The Sercet of Suzanne,” 
and melody that it has been likened 
to the music of Mozart, and higher 
praise there could not be. 
The second novelty of the week will 
be Saint-Saens “Sampson et Dalila,” 
to be heard for the first time this year 
on Wednesday evening. Its _ initial 
presentation made a brilliant event of 
the openfng performance last season, 
and the same cast will reappear almost 
in its entirety. 
On Monday night the last perform- 
ance of “Aida” will take place,with 
Mmes. Melis and Gay and MM. Zen- 
atello, Rossi and Mardones in the 
principal parts. 
For the Saturday matinee “Faust” 
should prove a most potent attract- 
ion, cast as it will be with Miss Niel- 
sen as Marguerite. 
On Saturday evening this brilliant 
week will be brought to a close by the 
only appearance in Boston this season 
of Mme. Lina Cavalieri, the famous 
Italian soprano, in the title role in 
“Carmen, 
At the Sunday afternoon concert, 
March 16, Rudolph Ganz, the famous 
Swiss pianist, will as solist, assist the 
orchestra.

The man who wants the whole blame 
keg 
Will always get his share; 
But those who for a few drops beg 
Will get the icy stare.
