hours. Soon after this a union man
said to me that he wouldn't work nine
hours unless paid him for ten hours.
and as | would not do that he left.
Since last Christmas the employing
carpenters got together and formed what
is called the Master Carpenters Associa-
ton of Richmond, and at our last meet
ing at was about the lst of March, i
think a resolution was offered which de-
clared that ten hours should in future be
q days work. and an amendment was
adopted providing that ten hours should
be n days work from the lat OF March
until the lst of October, and that the
nine-hour system should prevail during
the other five months. The resolution
as amended was unanimously adopted,
and a motion was made to reconsider
and defeated.
"Why did we do that? To place all
builders in the city on the same footing.
And why did we want ten hours Be
cause all other trades-gas filters, tim
ners, plumbers, eXcavators. bricklayers,
iron-workers, and galvanlzed-iron work
ers-all Of them work ten hours, and as
the builder is invariably the general con-
tractor he ought not TO be made to stop
his hands at o'clock while all other
trades work for an hour longer, because
the contractor is responsible for every
thing connected with the building, and
ne ought not to 60 away and leave the
house open. That's about a full history
OF the case in a few words.
"Wben Mr. Edmondson saw me yes
terday he wanted me to sign call con-
vening our association, with the hope no
doubt thatwe would take some favorable
action. would not sign it, and | don't
believe he Will be successful in getting
the necessary number of names, because
at our last meeting we refused to recon
sidor our action.
"There are between 500 an | 900 car
penters in the city, and the AIpenters
Union has about 100 members in it. We
have between 40 and 80 members in our
association. There is no bad feeling be
tween us at all.
Mr. Edmondson is employed TO do the
carpenters work Of the House Of Repre-
scntatiyCs.

THE CARPENTERS LOCKOUT"
what a Prominent BuiIdcr Says on
the subject.

There is no change in the relative po-
sitions OF carpenters and bosses since the
lockout" Of the former began last
Monday, except that yesterday Mr.. Ga
briel Edmondson, executive officer OF the
National Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, came here from Washington,
and is trying to effect settlement OF the
differences. As has been stated the car
penters want nine hours day labor
with nine hours pay. The bosses want
the men 10 work ten hours a day, with
ten hours pay. The bosses base their
claim mainly on the fact that all other
trades except the stOne-cutters work ten
hours and it would interfere with the
regular regime of business transactions
for the number OF hours TO be reduced.
On the other hand the carpenters declare
they only want nine hours because more
men will be employed and as long IS
there are no loafers the price OF labor
will be held up.
Mr.. A. G. Houston. an employing car
penter, spoke on the subject yesterday

to work nine hours day. Well. we

shops the bosses let the men work nine

the accused WAS treasurer, was called
Mr.. Witt said lie preferred a continu-

into the Gaze.
Mr.. Allan, counsel for the accused,
said it would suit him better that the
hearing be postponed for a few days,
and the case was accordingly continued
until Friday the 18th instant.
The allegation made 70 Justice Rich
ardson. and upon which he issued the
warrant, was that the accused many
months ago approached the trustees Of
the tribe, and representing that run
was about t0 be made on the bank IN
which it was then deposited to his credit
as treasurer, advised that the funds be
transferred TO another bank; that they
agreed. and he made the transfer, but
without their knowing that he de-
posted the money 10 his indi-
viiual credit that when they called for
the money rcccntlv he said he had iu-
vested it in his business and lost 1t that
when they insisted upon its being made
good and told him unless il wa he would
he prosecuted, be told them to 60 ahead,
It was only r breach of trust, and Lc
could not be made to pay.
