LABOR TROUBLES,
The Brewers Will put Non-Union Men
to Work

The Brewers will put Nom Union Men
to Work.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Secretary Seifert,
of the Master Brewers association, said
MS morning tf at the brewers are deter
city and vicinity, if the men don't consent
to allow their employers to run their own
business.
"They will not be closed more than
three or four days." he said, "and when
they start again it will be with nom
union men as employees. The men
are very firm, and there is every
indication that a shutdown will take
place. This will throw about
1000 men out of work, but it Is not our
fault. We have to protect ourselves.
There is no art in the work we require. 1t
can be picked up in a few days. We have
opened an EN- ployment agency, 18 West
Fourteenth street, and in Philadelphia
and Boston, where we are taking the
names and addresses of every suitable
man VINO appears. We have about 1,40O
names in the books at Fourteenth street
agency already. If a shut down takes
place, these men will be notified and put
to work. There is big fight ahead, but
we are going to carry it through"
APPLICANTS FOR WORK.
CHICAGO, April 13.-As early as noon to-
day more men had applied for work than
could be employed. Those from Mil
waukee, st. Louis and Cincinnati had not
arrived at that hour, end the secretary of
the Chicago Brewers association said he
would he at loss what to do with them
when they should get here. The Railways
outside of the doors of the association
headquarters in the Metropolitan block,
were lined with brawny handed
workmen waiting to see the secre-
tary. AS tast as orders came by tele-
phone from the different breweries the
number OF applicants would be dis
patched to such places. The men were
mostly ordinary workers, not familiar
with the business of brewers and MASTERS.
The demand is for more cellar men, and,
until number of these can be secured,
the breweries will be necessarily crippled
to certain extent.

from the station TO the mills,
over which the cars of lumber were trans
ported to the main line. Last year plain
tiffs sold their mill to firm styled Rucker
j. Robinson, who became indebted to
plaintiff in a large sum of money which
they we're unable to pay, unless plaintiff
should take payment for the same in lum-
Der, which was agreed to. The said,
Rucker d Robinson, sawed and delivered
to plaintiff, near the switch, 100000 feet
of lumber, but after repeated demands
by plaintiffs upon defendants, for cars to
ship the lumber to their yards
in different towns, they failed
to furnish the required transportation.
Plaintiff says that, by reason of the fail
ure of defendants to furnish cars, as re-
quired by the state statutes, the defend
ants became Jointly and severally bound
to pay plaintiff the sum of $25 per day,
and the failure continuing until Decem
Der 20, the plaintiffs are therefore en-
titled to $4,000. Plaintiffs ask damage
for the time the lumber was exposed TO
the weather in the sum of $4,000, and
they sustain further damages by not being
able to fill orders for lumber on this
account in the sum of $2O,00O.
and by reason OF the stoppage of busi-
ness, loss of custom and credit, and being
unable to comply with contracts, $4,000
total, $51 200.

vs.. John G. Brown ct al, receivers of the
