IMPORTED t;,i LABOR {, m TEXAS.
One of The Texas Capitol syndicate Tells
About the Scotch stone Cutters Employ
Dsnt-The Contractors to Biame


CHICAGO, August "A reporter for q lo-
cal paper called on Colonel Abner Taylor,
member Of the Texas Capitol syndicate,
for some information regarding the impor-
tation of stone cutters from Scotland, as
developed in the congressional investiga-
tion now going on in New York In reply
TO q question as to whether he and other
members of the syndicate knew that for
eign labor WIS imported to do the stone
cutting, he said:
Il presume it was generally known TO
the syndicate, but it could do nothing to
prevent it. | am utterly opposed to such
practices myself, but in this instance l nor
any other member of the syndicate had
anything to say about il, because the work
was let out on contrsct'to Mr.. Wilkie. He
agreed to build the capitol for so much
money, which was paid TO him, and we had
nothing 10 say about about what sort of la
Dor be should employ"
Were there not plenty of stone cutters
in America to do the wurk?'
Not in Texas. All that were needed
would have TO be brought from places out
side the State. The fact of the matter is
the original plan was to build the capitol
OF limestone; but this was found unsuitable
and the State wanted the material changed
to granite, of which there is a very fine
grade in the land granted TO the syndicate
The differ nee in the cost of quarring this
granite and cutting it amounted to nearly a
half million dollars, which the syndicate
were not willing to expend. so in order to
secure the store for the capitol. the State
agreed to furnish convict labor to quarry
it. This caused the Union stone cutters to
strike, or rather they refused to cut stone
quarried by the convicts, and Mr.. Wilkie
was therefore compelled to get stone cut
ters from Aberdeen"
Would not the syndicate have prevent
ed this importation and given the Ameri-
can mechanic a chanceg'
NO, it had absolutely no power over the
contractor and besides the American
stonecutters would not cut the stone, be-
cause it was quarried by convicts, and, As
said, they were employed by the State in
order to have the Capitol building Of gran
lite, and also portion of the extra ex-
pense of that class of stone could be
saved -
