BANGLE MAKERS TROUBLES.

One Firm Prosecuted for Putting Mono
grams on Coins-Pittsburg Jewellers
Warned Not to Continue the Practice
District Attorney Lyon VIII Decide.
Jewellers all over the country are greatly
excited over the fact that the Government is
making war on men who make bangles out
of gold and silver coins One manufacturer
in Chicago has been fined twice for engrav-
ing monograms on the back Of S. gold
pieces. The new law passed this year
regarding the making of bangles after the
style of coins is being both. obeyed and
evaded. Bangles are being made the exact
size of coins, with the same milling, but each
one is handsomly engraved instead of
pressed. The other prosecutions are being
made on the old act of 1873. 1t was never
enforced before and hence the CONSERVATION
among jewellers. In this city dozens Of these
bangles are being made every day. The
section of the act bearing upon this matter
is as follows:
Every person who fraudulently. by any act. way
means, defaces mutilates impairs or diminishes,
fastes, scales or ghtens the gold and silver coins
the United States or any foreign gold or silver
coins shall be imprisoned not more than
two years or fined not more than s, 900.
United States District Attorney Lyon was
seen yesterday and he said he had investi-
gated the matter, but was unable to state
whether the mutiiating of coins for the pur-
pose of making jewelry was unlawful. He
had no case for guide, but recommended
that for the present jewellers had better not
file any more coins. He wrote at once to
Chicago to find what authorities guided
them. In regard to the melting down of
United States coins he said that was per-
fectly legitimate, for the metal was then
taken out of the form of coins.

There is likely to be another legal proceed.
ing as q result of the building trades strike.
Yesterday Agent Swartz received a letter
from General Secretary MCGUIRE, contain
ing copy of the advertisement
for men published in THE DISPATCH a
few days ago, which had been clipped
from the Toronto Globe. Mr.. MCGUIRE ad-
vises the local leaders to show to the public
here that the contractors are resorting even
to q violation of the alien contract labor law
in order to break the strike. Mr.. SwartZ
said the District Council would in all proba-
bility take some action, as two men had
come from Canada.
He also stated that evidence had been Sc
cured to the effect that A W. Ahlers & Co.,
of Allegheny, had refused to furnish lumber
to C.II Molney, of Wilson avenue because the
Builders Exchange would not allow them
to do So Another conspiracy suit may re-
suit. In regard to the claim that the plan
ing mill owners had 700 men at work, Mr.
Swartz said he had a list of all the men en-
ployed in the mills on May /, which only
footed up 4O6. Altogether, he says, there
are only 70 union men working nine hours
and they have either been fined or sus-
pended.
Local union No 211 met last night. Their
court tried Thomas e. Cook, the contractor
who is building the Mt. Washington Presby-
terian Church, and who is also member Of
their union, for working nine hours. He was
fined $50. Mr.. Cook was seen last night, and
he said he would never pay the fine.
There are great many contractors who
feel that the strike is about ended. George
Trimble, the Manchester contractor made
an arrangement with Alex Patterson yester-
day for a lot of lumber saying that his men
told him the carpenters would soon
return to work regardless of what the lead
ers want them to do. The special agents, of
course, have put themselves in position
where they cannot be criticised if the move
ment fails. Twice have they had the men to
have they voted to stay out. The leaders
admit that men are going back slowly, and
when all have gone it can be said the fight
was lost through no fault of the leaders.
