New YORK, Dec pa curious illustra-
ton of the system adopted by the Knights of
Labor and other labor unions in this city is
accorded by the case of Lewis H. Williams
builder of Fourteenth street. Mr.. Will
Jams has always employed union men and
non-union men alike, and since last Novem-
Der has divided the profits between himself
and his men, the latter receiving one-half
divided in the proportion of the wages re-
ceived by each man. He had two years ago
voluntarily reduced the hours of labor for
his workmen and granted Saturday half
holiday during the summer. In Febru-
AIRY Of this year he again reduced
the hours of labor to fifty three hours
week and made the half holi-
day regular thing the year round, and
without making any deduction in wages.
When he began sharing the profits with his
employees the lowest wages paid were S. 50
per day, and some carpenters were paid 81
and others as high as s. day. Then Mr.
Williams trouble began The Building
Trades union demanded" that he should
discharge all the non-union men in his en-
ploy and pay all uniform wages of 50 50 per
day He submitted the question to his men,
and they resolved to continue in his employ
on the protit-shariug basis. The inevitable

workmen in his employ on the different

were ordered out. Thus far three men out
