rates nre about the same."
"Mow about hours?" I asked.
"We have the elKhl-hour ilay all over the
tTnlteil Htates," was the reply.
"Do you mean to say that the men who
rut Krunite In llutte City get 91 lor elKht
hours' work?"
"Yes, that Is Just what I mean," replied
Hecretaly Duncan. "Hut waxes of all sorts
nre hlh there. As Tor the hours, we have
been IlKhliiiK for the elKht-lmur day lor 11
Ioiik time. We tried to ni t It throiiKh eon
Kiess, ami are trying sllll. In lsHT we Kot
tired of w.iitimt. and we tin n notllled our
employers that we i-hotild Insist upon tin'
rlKht-hour day bi-Kinulir; with the sprint?
of lWO. Hefore then onl; one-third of our
Men wi re woikiun cIkIH hours. Since then
wo have all had that d:iy, and that with
lucreaseil iroilt to ourselves and our em
iloy rs."
"What ilo you mean by Increased prolit,
Mr. Duncan?" 1 aski'd.
"I mean that the workman Is better off
nnd that the employer Kcts more out of his
work in the eiuht hours than lie formerly
did in the nine hours. WaRcs have risen
us much as S per ci nt, but nevertheleps
the product is chi apiT than It was uik1 r
the Ioiik hours and lower waKcs."
"That founds like a fairy story. Mr. Dun
ran," said I.
"It may sound bo to you," was the re
ply, "hut It Is a (rue story nevertheless.
You must remember that granite cuttluii
Is hard work, und at the sanie time work
that demands n hlnh skill and great m -curacy.
To do It widl caie must be fresh
and not tired out. In the Ioiik hours, as
noon approached, the men were played out
nnd they had to loaf or try to save them
selves for the rest of the day. Now they
put in only four hours in the morniiiK. and
ufter the noon rest k In and work for
the remainder of the day. The employer
are now Inteiested in seeiiiK that the men
have better tools, and that the cheaper
and rougher work is done by In Ipers. At
any rate they have systematized mutters

the nice-hour day of the past. One of the
largest employers at Ha! re. Vt . where
about I Ino of our men havu regular work,
recently told me that not only had his
output been greater under the eight-hour
day. but that the character of the work
was finer."
"Do you think the time will ever come
hen the eight-hour day wlil be the rulo
for all classes of our mechanics?"
'I do." replied James Duncan "It is s.i
now In many of the trsdes. and It will be
o as time goes on."
"What does It cost to belong to the
granite cutters? ' I asked.
"The Initiation fee Is from $2 to
replied Secretary Diimau. "A dilTereiiei
Is made In accordance with the standing
of the applicant toward oi g inized labor In
tin' past. If a man has been lighting us
and asks to Join he might be punished

"They are now 70 cents a month."

"The most of it goes to Support our peo

Trees Survive Fire
In the burned district there are two trees
Which, though having been subjected to a
heat which melted iron and caused strong
buildings to crumble and fall, arc still
standing and are apparently uninjured. One
is on Frederick street, near Baltimore
street, just opposite the site of the Odeon
theater, and the other is In the rear of
the ruins of the Southern Kloctrlc com
pany's place, on Fayette street, near Cal
vert street. The tree on Frederick street
is in remarkably good condition, and does
not In the least show the effects of tire, al
though the heat at that point must have
been Intense, as not a building In that sec
tion was left standing. The limbs nnd
lv.i-'. At thai time we used up all tho
money we had in ti e treasury and then is
sued promissory nobs to those who still
held out. agreeing to pay them out of
the first money that i-ime Inlo the treas
ury. Those miles amounted to more thin
JLTH.IHO. It to. k us live jcars to pay them,
but we did it."
"Do you think, Mr. Duncan, that Hip
mivi'lirrs of your unMn get the worth of
their money?"
"I certainly do," n piled 8-eretary Dun
can. "There l-i no investment in the world
that has paid better than that of our mem
bers In I lie National I'nlon of (iramle Clt-t-'is.
Take New Fnglai.d, for Instance. In
that patt of the country we are strong! st
and there about one-third of our nvml ers
live. For easy llgtn lug We will supimso
tin re are G.Ona granite cutters there. Now
let me show you what those .'i.(r0 men
have gotten out of the union In the fifteen
years from lssS to I! 00. During that time
the average increase of wages lias been
eipiil to 75 cents per day. This on 5.(00
nun means a gain of $3.7."s per day nnd
figuring 3m working days to the year of
tt.l'Jfi.w) u year. Multiply that by the
fifteen years and you have a gross gain of
flii.S75,oi.
"Now take th- expenses. The dues paid
during that time were only lia cents a
month sr man. which In the fifteen years
made a total of fr.ia.ioo for the 5,nn) men.
SuKract that and you hive a ml gain of
J In. i'..i oo. ami all that from an investment
of a little more than f.lnri.eurt.
"In other words, we have made our f.r.l1,
rce Investment pay us J.ili) sr cent and
have reolved fJ75.CflO to boot, or more than
half of all we have put In. I venture that
very few of the big trusts can Dhow as
proiltable return).
"In addition to this," concluded Mr. Dun
ran, "we have reduced our working time
two hours per day, we have established
cash payments, we have alu'lished com
pany stores and we have provided that
our paydays shall lie regular. Yes, I think
we may say that the granite cutters have
more than Kotten the worth of their
money. FKANK. G. CAItl'KNTKtt.
