3 THE QMAJIA DAILY E : SATURDAY , MARCH 31. 1888. THEIR DEMAND IS REFUSED , The Stonecutters Will Strike on Monday Noxt. PROTEST OF THE BRICKLAYERS. Foloy'u Derensc-AirAlmnrtonccl TrAinp Uolnga In the Courts Ueoklcss Mnrksmoti Oilier Inter- csllriR News. The Stone Cnttcrs Out on Monday. On next Monday the stone cutters of this city will walk out of the yards nnd oft the Jobs upon which they nro engaged , because the contractors of this city have decided tenet not acccdo to the demand made upon them by their men. This demand was made last February to take effect on the 1st of April. It exacts CO cents per hour for eight hours work , or ft per dny. Last year they worked nine hours per day at n maximum price of 45 cents per hour , or M.03 per day. The tlo- mand , therefore , Is for the name wages , less G cents , for eight , as was last year paid for nine hours work. There wcro a few excep tions to the wages last year where less proll- clcnt men were paid but 40 cents nn hour. In conversation with i boss stone cutter this morning the Unn reporter was told that the bosses would have been willing to accede to the demands of their employes If the latter would consent to work at the old rnto until the jobs contra ted for last year were completed. Hut the Journeymen would not ncccdo to * ho request. The same state of affairs existed In Kansas , where , besides , thcro was the question of appren tices nnd n disposition , It Is alleged , on the part of the men to run things to suit them- Delves. The boss stonecutters of that place called n convention of parties In the same business In the states of Missouri , Kansas nnd Nebraska which was held In Kansas City n few days ago. It was attended by eighteen firms as follows : Dugan Cut Stone company , M. Duulop , David Pullman , A. Sutcrmclstcr , Erath , Thym & Co. , Kan sas City Cut Stone company , Kansas City , Mo. ; Cuthbcrt & Saigent , George II. Evans , George W. Bussey , Topeka , Kan. ; Frommer.

A Foil , of this city , was elected treasurer. The name of the new society is the Cut Stone ilrms of the Missouri Valley association. The firms represented give employment to about 1,000 men. The following resolutions wcro adopted : 1. That wo asiert our right to employ workmen regardless of their being members of societies or not. 2. That wo assert our right to fix the com pensation of labor , nnd to pay workmen ac cording to their usefulness , and according to the amount of labor they can perform. 8. AVe shall not tolerate any authority In our yards but our own. 4. Wo shall cut stone ( and if required set it ) to anybody and nt any building where it is demanded. 5. Overwork , when needed , shall bo paid for at the rate of duy work. 5. That for the year 1SSS , stone cutters shall bo paid according to their proficiency , but In no case more than forty-live cunts per hour. 7. That wo assort our right to employ as many apprentices as we may doom proper. These resolutions wcro posted in nil the stone yards in tno city yesterday and ns a consequence of the determination contained in them , the 110 stonecutters in this city will refuse to work on next Monday. It is ex pected that more members will soon Join the association. Its next convention will bo held in this city on the 'JOtli of next July. AN OPKN I Union Replies to tlio Manifesto of the Contractors. The following communication , addressed to the editor of this paper , explains itself : All the bricklayers of the city of Omaha have read , in the Tuesday nioimng's papers , the resolutions adopted , as stated , by the Brick Contractors' union , and all of us know that thcro nro some names on their roster that are not brick contractors at all. As Journeymen the principal contractor. * of the city would not employ them nt all. They to the " " mid thoroughly cnmo city as "Jours" being oughly incompetent ns bricklayers , they turned contractors ( ? ) to make a living. Kep- utablo contractors are willing to embrace them so as to increase the membership of their organbation in order to mis lead the public as to their strength. They hnvo tried by all means in their power to show to the public that they have n membership of forty-live linns. Likewise they have thu names of sever.Uflims whohavo been out of the city for some time and are unwilling to enter into the contest. There also appears on the list the names of two Harry Juckson and James Hitter who a few years ago were very glad to nslc the members ol the bricklayers' union to help them to build the homes that they now live in , on Sundays after the men had been at work all the weok. They did BO without pay and they wore promised that the favor would bo re turned at some future time. Is this what they meant , and is thistho occasion ) Veelly , they are returning the compliment with u vengeance. The president of the contractors' union says they have done all they could to satisfy the demands of the bricklayers' union , and that wo would make no concessions , which ho knows to bo fnlso , for wo have only mot them on one occasion , and that was when our demands wcro made known to the con tractors. Ho also states that the contractors never tried to institute any kind of a boycott on the members of the bricklayers' union to prevent them from buying any brick or other material. Wo can provo the falsity of that asset tlon. lo you want our proof I Thoylmvo also tried to get the contractors who have been working their men eight hours to discharge them and shut down their work. Ifktliis statement is doubted , let them call their roll and ask if it Is not a fact that one of their number was politely asked to lave the otllco of ono of the contractors who Is working clghl hours , with the statement that ho could run his business without his ( the association contractors' ) assistance. No , they nro being victimized nnd mis-stated by the bricklayers. They are much too honest nnd too fond of fair play to consider for a moment any such dealings. Would it not bo nice if the public would only believe this ! And not this alone , hut that tno bricklayers are an unreasonable oand ignorant ] body of men , who don't know when they are doing well , and foolish enough to bo handled by the contractors' very honorable body ! It is useless to continue denying all this , but wo wish to say that wo are out for a reasonable demand , for no higher wages , but nt a SAcrJflco each day , and nro willing to work the season through nt our terms and no other. They are these : Wo received offers from the contractors to work this season at f5 for nlno hours. Wo merely wish to ptart the eightlhour law for Omaha and nro will Ing to work for 1.50 par day. Is this reason nblo or noli The bricklayers' union Js getting tired of newspaper talk. It was commenced by the contractors and for what purpose ! What good have they done by so doing I They have probably interested the public with ordinary tcadlng matter , but not the proper kind to induce them to assist them In their light , be cause every statement they inalto has not the found of fairness or Justice about It. Wo are satlsflcd that wo presented our demand as gentlemen , and have berne onrsolvcs ns such since. W ° have always been ready to meet them , but have never had the privllego but 0111:0. In their jcsolutlous the honorable body states that they hau ) tried to settle nu merous times the dllllculty , have offered lib eral wages , nnd have made them other bus- ! ucss-liku propositions , which wcro rejected. This is all buncombe. They have never made nny manner of attempt to settle the striUo , und never but once have wo received any " buulness-llko proposition , and that was to ticcopt our demand for tuck pointing , llro-prooling , and cleaning .down of fronts , eta After accepting this , they further etuto they can pay but 60 cents per hour for work , which is in direct opposition to their former offer to us , inado public by themselves - selves , which wo have on fllo for future ref erence. Froln this song they sn | { ? of pasplng demands and tyrannical rules ot the brick- jayors , ono would imagine that they have br-cn tbo slaves of thd bricklayers' union. They charge us with bastt eiagceratio.n 'of points t > f minor ImpoVtanco , etc. Now our plans-are , and lionest and'we asuno us- distance t nevertheless It in bolng showered upon tis from all over the country , nnd wo wish to state that wo will stand by our de mand , knowing that wo nro right , nnd nro ready for the most exacting examination at any time , and will not sacrifice any reason able demand , whether It bo now or next fall , nnd wo intend to work eight hours , or none nt nil. The public has been often asked to assist ; but wo now ask of them , nro wo righter or wrong ! Wo nro not creating trouble , wo presented our demands honestly nnd early enough for a settlement before the weather would permit work to progress , nnd the matter - tor has os'er since been open for debate. We have never been approached In any man ner , except as stated above , nnd through the press. Now , nro wo to blnmo with nn dnmngo to our city ! Would nny fnlr-mlnded citizen , after acting as wo hnvo done ! Would you.or could you consent to bo crushed , Ignoredmis treated in every form ! Are wo to receive nil blame for what they may do , because they wish to crush us to satisfy n petty spite ! Wo think that wo look nt all points properly , nnd arc assured that you will speedily say that wo nro In the right. Wo hnvo advertised that wo wore ready , competent and willing to do nny work in our power not to injure our city's advancement. We nro shut out by the strongest boycott over gotten up. A ring strongly backed by architects und mnterlal furnishers. Therefore the city is bound to suffer , but wo do not fear with nil this opposition that our cause is lost. Several of our members hnvo gone nwny , but not abandoned us ; nor has their going caused any damage whatever. Wo nro yct-100 strong , peaceable , honest and capable mechanics , nnd nro de termined to win our rights since wo are forced to fight at all hazards. Now , In regard to non-union men coming hero In nnswer to the ndvcrtlsomcnts showered over the coun try , they do not understand mnttcrs hero un til they arrive , connng ns they do from sinnll towns where ouiT" International union can not roach them. Cut .they have not failed when they nirlvo , nnd\tnko \ In the situation , to assist us in nil tlnlr power. Header , put yourself in their place , ns honornblo men. Could ydu come among us while wo are walk ing Idle for our rights nnd fill our places ) Never ! Nor will thoy. It tnkcs the nerve of n criminal 6f the deepest dye to do It ; not In pity for us , but for our rights that are threatened with being crushed. Their rights nro ours. All that are not already membcis of our union , nnd nro capable mechanics , wo initiate immediately ns brothers among us. nnd nro glad to extend the hand of fellowship to all such. There are others who arc not mechanics whom wo can not receive nnd do not wnnt. The contract ors nro readily catching these last , nnd wo wish them luck , but the citizens nnd owners find what kind of talent is doing their work when they compare it with what hns been done in the past. Matters will speedily como to the proper settlement. Omahn , has always had among the finest nnd best me chanics in the United States , and such men know their rights and know when they are properly treated , and are as capable of con tracting for the heaviest nnd most compli cated work as any contractor in the city , and have attempted to do so , but have met with defeat on all sides by the well-organised ring before mentioned. It is all n petty strife and cnn never amount to anything , ns wo nro supported by nil wo need , and could not possibly gut nny assistance if it was not in the rights of Justice.Br.irKr.ATrnt'j Br.irKr.ATrnt'j UNION. ALT , TJ1K MEN 11ICV W INT. A number of the contracting bricklayers met yesterday in their room in the Paxton - ton building and answered a number of let ters which they imd received from brick layers in other parts of the country who are desirous of coming hero to work at S4.50 for nine hours work. Ono of the letters on the pile was shown to the reporter and told that the writer had secured sixty men who wcro ready to bo shipped nt any moment. The contractors said it was no longer a question ns to how to got men , but to prevent moio coming hero than can bo accommodated with work. They further claimed that they have now em ployed all the men they can give work to , and dcsiro the public to understand that they nro ready to bid upon any work which may bo in contemplation , nnd will guarantee that it will bo speedily completed. It was annouriced authorativcly that Con tractor Noreross , who is now constructing the now life insurance company's building on Kurimm street , will arrive hero in n few days nnd that ho will bring with him forty bricklayers , whom ho has engaged for the season , who have agreed to work at the rnto of 50 cents per hour. Do Not Need Pollen. To the People nnd Citizens of OmnhaVo : notica police protection has boon asited for to protect scab jobs f i om harm of union brick layers. I wish to say this is uncalled for and : i scheme to create public opinion ngalnst us. We in o gentlemen nnd hope to show to nil that wo arc , ns wo have douo in the past. Having entered into this struggle for our rights , -\vo intend to hold out in u manner compelling all fuir-mindcd people to extend us the hand of friendship. Wo know wo hnvo the sympathy and good will of the press and all loading citizens , who tire ready to con demn the combination of contractors formed to crush us merely foru potty spite and in do- inir so nro harming our c-ity to an immeaursa- blo extent. Our demands wcio prcscnted'nnd wo have boon ready at any time to discuss nnd nrrango .settlement , but have been ignored. They claimed they would not figure until they knew our demands , fearing they would bo extortionate. After lemning them they rofusd to accept , and begin hand in hand with the architects and none know but themselves how extortionate their prices are , but feel satlslled they are largo enough to assist if not pay all the costs of the strike on their part. Fully two and a half months ago our demands were presented to them , which gave- them all advantage over us and they have proven themselves to bo over icady to tnko every advantage in their power. Wo have nothing to do but fight , knowing wo cannot fail as wo ask nothing but what is right between man und man. Thanking the press nnd public at largo for kindly sympathy extended to us in our time of need , wo finally ask them to bo prepared for nny other under hand work that mny bo sprung against us by this combination , and remember wo are over ready to do our duty in our line of business to nnyvlshing work done in our line , or ns gentlemen to our many friends. Our union respects law nnd order nnd the chief of police and assistants far too highly to c.uiso them trouble. Thcyalkknow this , for wo have ever wished the respect of all nnd well know this last" schema to cnuso public opinion ngalnst us is n failure nnd do not fear but what any other they attempt will bo also.

Ho Immediately took alarm and went to the police station nnd surrendered himself. His trial wns fixed for Monday nt 2 p. m. The Plnkcrton men suy that their reason for striking Egan is that ho is a foulmouthed - mouthed follow und bungs around the depot considerably. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.

" BILT , NYK'S CYCLONU. Ono of the most popular things over written Dill Nvo is his brief descrip tion of a por- sonnl oxporlonco with a cyclone. The nctunl ocnuiTonco which cnmo near costIng - Ing him his life , anil the miraculous moans of his euro , are given below : Cyclones are of two kinds , via : The dark maroon cyclone and the iron gray cyclone with palo green mane and tall. It wns the latter kind that I frolicked with at the tlmo alluded to. My brother nnd I wcro riding along in the grand old forest , and I had just been singing a few bars from the oporn of "Whoop 'cm Up , Llzzio .Tana. " when I noticed that the wind was beginning to Bough through the trees. Soon after that I noticed that I was soughing through the trees albo , and I am really no slouch of a sougher either when I get started. The horse was hanging by the breech ing from the bough of a largo butternut tree , waiting for some ono to como and pick him. I did not sco my brother at first , but after a while ho disengaged -himself from a rail fence and came where I was hanging , wrong end up , with my per sonal ollects spilling out of my pockets. I told him that as soon as the wind kind of softened down I wished ho would go and pick the horse. Ho did so , nnd at midnight a party of friends carried mo into town on a stretcher. It was quite an ovation. To thinic.of a torchlight procession coming away out there into the woods at midnight and carrying mo into town on their shoulders in triumph ! And yet I was once only a poor boy. Mr. Nye received tlio warmest sympa thies of the press , and to a personal friend connected with the Chicago Times , who wrote to him immediately after , he replied as follows : Hudson , Wisconsin. My Dear : I've written a good many letters relative to that blasted cyclone - clone of mine , and I get madder anil madder as the incident gets further and further away. My leg is getting along very well , but I shall not feel like going on the stage /with / it.

The public would feel justly incensed and the galleries would make jeering remarks. Sincerely yours , Bill Nyc. Upon another subject Mr. Nye has written as follows : 'rMy little daughter recently burnt the pnlm of her hand very severelyand after I had wet it well \\ilii a remedy and put my handkerchief on it she did not even cry. So I tried it again the other day on the frozen check of a little girl two years old. It worked like magic The remedy is St. Jacobs Oil , and is a mighty good thing to have in the houso.
