LABOR TROUBLES.
Employers Band Themselves Together to
Resist Dictation


DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 3.-Mention was
made some weeks ago of a difficulty be
tween the stone cutting firm of Knapp X
Avery and their men, growing out of the
discharge of an incompetent man to whom
they refused to pay union prices, the re-
snlt being strike of all their men and
the taking up of their case by the Stone
cutters union and the imposition of a fine
of $50 upon the offending firm and n de
mand that the incompetent man and ill
others should be taken back. Other stone
cutting firms made common cause with
Knapp X Avery, closed their yards and
discharged their men. The result was,
after two or three weeks suspension of
work, that the men rescinded their i'm
position of fine, but continued the strike
IN Knapp ~ AVery's yard. They then
proceeded to NIL up with non-uniOn men,
and the other firms went on as before the
lockout. Since then the Bricklayers' union
has declared II boycott against Knapp n
Avery. There have been various agree
ments and disagreements, and finally a
general lockout was proclaimed on all
building operations in brick and stone
This move Will effect indirectly all Other
building trades, as neither carpenters MOI
inside inishers nor painters can get at
their share of the work on the suspended
contracts. The builders declare their in
| tcntlon to maintain the lockout until the
questions involed are fully settled anC
/ they are assured that this sort of harass
/ ing business shall cease. The men, on TIT
other hand, indulge in good deal of louC
talk, say they will be backed by all tn,
unions, and can hold out indefinitely
There is much excitement among them
however and much apprehension is fel
IN all business circles that this may he bu
the initial step leading To large conse
quences, and may put an end TO most q
the projected building in the city for tn
season. Public sentiment is arraye'
