would state no such resolution was evel
presented, was ever put vUte, and conse-
Quently the assertion is made out Of whole
cloth. As, howey =, the reporter 10 the re-
sponsible party in this matter, we can afford
to dismiss his scurrillity without further
comment. We have watched the conduct Of
this gentleman somewhat closely lately, and
advise him to remember the old adage, that
I" they who live in glass houses should not
throw stones" But to return to our SUBJ
ject: To make matters more explicit, the
following communication was publhsed in
the Tribune last Tuesday morning:
Editors Tribune:
1t has been asked through your paper
what the actual demands Of the Stonecut-
tiers are on the present strike. We sir'ply
want nine hours pay for n;se hours v rk
at the old rate Of wages.
/ i. ~ s; ss:s: ,' Standing Committee
Still, In spite Of this and similar disa-
vowals, the Tribune, in which the abo-s
appeared, saw fit in tue same Issue, to make
use Of the following expressions, in COM
menting on the intentions Of thele work
mem
The stonecntters who are on " strike ,
for ten hours wages for nine hours work
held meeting in the Council Chamber or
SaturdayUo set forth their case to the pub.
lie.
This controversy between the strikers .
and heir employers must be placed before
the public in its proper light. Ii is simply
demand, TO be paid for idle time, 10 b.
paid full wages for the nine hours the me-
propose to work, and the same rate of wages
for one hour after they quit work each day
But one dedurt ton can be drawn from the
above persistent misrepresentation, and that
is that the most powerful and widely dis.
seminated journal in the northwest, notwith-
standing its protestations to the contrary,
has determined to maintain and defend the
exactions Of capital, no matter how unjust
these exactions may be. Well, well, it is a
long lane which has no turn, and although
the daily press are at present banded against
the cause Of the workingmen, and virtually
control public opinion, yet the time is fast
coming, when the tables will be turned, and
those who now despise will be proud to OBJ
tain the patronage Of the laboring classes.

NoTnISG LIKE STICKING TO LIE.-Last
week the mechanics Of this city were graft
fed by an announcement which appeared in
the Tribune to the effect that II the stone
cutters were asking nine hours pay for rint
hours work, the sympathy of the entire
community would be with them. At a
meeting Of the Stonecdtte-s' Association
held last Saturday afternoon, the following
resolutions announcing in unmistakable
language the position Of the mcn, were
unanimouly adopted:
WHEREAS, A. a recent meeting of the So
called architects (wbO are themselves en-
ployes), boss stonecptters, and others
interested in the building trade, held in this
city, the demands Of the journeymen stone
cutters, now on strike tor the nine hours
movement were willfully and persistently
misrePresented and
WHEREAS, We believe that were the pub
lie and the business men of Chicago ac-
quainted with the fact that the only demand
made is a reduction Of the hours Of manual
labor, independent Of procuring remunera-
ton, their sympathies would certainly be en-
listed in behalf of the laboring classes /;
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That we, the journeymen
stonecutters of Chicago, appeal TO our busi-
ness men to repudIate the unholy alliance
entered into BY some Of the employing capi-
talists to crush our labor organizations,
which are founded on the principles Of
equal justice, alike to employer and en-
Hloye, and which commend themselves to
the endorsement of every honorable man.
Resolved, That the experience of the past
having demonstrated the fact that the pres
ent system Of ten hours labor per day is an
oyertax on the physical system, which de-
mands that an immeC late reform be inaug-
Grated to reduce the hours Of daily toll.
HesotDed, That as our demands for such
reform have been Indignantly rejected, and
all overtures FOR an amicable settlement in
sulunglY rejected, that we are determined
at every hazard to insist in our demand that
nine hours should constitute q days work
for the journevmen stonecutters Of Chica-
20.
Resolved, That we refuse to recognize in
any manner the right Of said employers to
dictate the amount Of labor we shall per-
form, and also that We refuse to have any
intercourse whatever with said employ ers
until the resolutions adopted last Thu sday
afternoon are entirely repudiated.
Now, we should like to know can resolu-
tions be more explicit, yet in the face Of
these declarations, the Tribune, in COM
menting on the meeting, boldly asserted
that the men still demand ten hours pay for
mine hoVrs' cork, and that the employers
did we'll in refusing to comply with that re-
quest. Rlso stated that resolution re-
pudiatink "a claim for ten hours pay was

If two persons are to occupy bed

upon weighing scales as they retire,
and then again in the morning, and
they will find their actual weight to be

throughout the year will be more than
one pound That is during the night
there is the loss of a pound of matter

THE great tunnel at Chicago, for the purpose
of supplying that city with water, is nearly
completed its success is a gratifying triumph
of engineering SKILL and at once points out
method by which cities similarly situated
may secure supplies ofgcod water. Chicagois
built upon an almost perfectly level prairie,
upon the shores of Lake Michigan. There
are no elevated regions near at hand from
which water could be brought to supply the
city. The only large stream near by is the
Chicago river, a sluggish, filthy stream
full of the sewage of the city. Here
tofore the city has supplied itself with
water from the lake, but the difficulty
has been that the lake itself, all along its
shores, is defled by the sewage and other
refuse Of the city. The present plan is, by
running tunnel some two miles under the
lake, TO reach the water where it is perfectly
pure A shaft is sunk on the shore Of
the lake eighty feet deep, and from the
bottom of that shaft large tunnel is run
tor TWO miles under the lake, terminating where
the water over it is fifty feet deep. At the
terminus of the tunnel an upright pipe reaches
to above the surface OF the lake, the water
being admitted by flood-gates in its sides,
which can be opened or closed at pleasure
The capacity or the tunnel is firty-aeven mil
lions Of gallons Of water daily, The water Of
Lake Michigan, as well as OF the other great
lakes, is deliciously clear and pure.
The cost OF building the tunnel was
1915, 1870, OF course, the cost of slevatlng
engines, pumps, pipes, etc, for distributing
the water through the city will reach much
larger figure; but when all is completed,
Chicago, at a comparatively small expense,
will have secured for her citizens the inesti-
mable blessing of bountiful and never fail
ing supply OF pure, fresh water.
