RESUM NC LABOR.
The BriclSlayers Decide TO Finish
Work on the Il. 81 Nj. Building.

The members of the Bricklayers Uniol
mat Tuesday night in X. of L. hall t.
discuss the matter of resuming work ol
the B. & M. headquarters addition. 1
will be rem membered that labor on thi
structure came to an end last week whel
the bricklayers discovered that the ston,
which WAS being put into the building
had been cut by convict labor, having
come from Joliet.
The session was long and heated one
nearly every union bricklayer In the city
bsing present. The meeting die not ad
jou:n until after midnight. 1t was by 9
very close vote decided that the bricklBy-
era employed on the B. & M. building
should finish the work on tho structure,
inasmuch as tie contractors, Bailey &
Olsen had not ordered the cut atone, and
knew nothing of It's having been brought
from the joliet penitentiary. 1t was
further decided that notice ahould at
once he Issued for the benefit Of the con-
trac ora and architects of this city that
hereafter no union brlcklsyers would
work on building into which material
wss being put which had been furnished
by convict labor The question of con-
vict labor was thoroughly discussed and
the union decided thateyery means avail
able should be used to deal with the evils
of the ayetem.
The brickiayers will go to work upon
the building to-day.
1t is said that when work
Is resumed, still other compllcs-
tlonp are apt to srise. The stoue which
is to go into the building will have to be
trimmed, and the men belonging to the
stonecuttera union will not be allowed to
do the work, az their constitution strict.
ly forbids their working on stone furn-
ished by convict labor. If men are then
procured to do the necessary trimming, the
union threatens to declare them scabs and
again order the bricklsyers to quit work.
The bricklayers will then be obliged TO
yield, as the stonecutters' and bricklay-
ers' unions have compact to stand by
each other in all cases. The bricklayers'
union has no convict labor clause In Its
constitution, ana hence the willingness
of the men to return to work.
Ths object In again calltrg the men
out of the building Is stated by the stone
cutters to be for the purpose of forcing
the Burlington & Missouri company to
reject the stone already secured from
Joliet and replace it with new stone
which has not been handled by convict
labor,

are the building Of three double sets of

of ths appropriation, something like 81

When these improvements are made
