1t reached Dxfeld Saturday, leaving but
five miles to complete before reaching

1t is said in financial circles that the

show enormous gains. Perhaps this ac
counts for the buying orders lowering over
the market during the last Is hours.

Condition Of Affairs at Quincy.

QrINcY, Mass, May iG.-Every granite
yard in the city is open for business this
morning, giving to any workman not reeog-
nizing union labor chance to resume work
Of the large number of men employed
last week, not one took advantage of the
opportunity,
In most of the yards apprentices are
working, as they do not belong to the union.
The wOrkmen held a meeting this morn
ing and adopted resolutions denouncing as
false the statement of the Manufacturers
Association that the workmen had violated
their agreement, and declaring that the
violation was by the manufacturers and not
by the men.
The manufacturers having offered re-
ward for anyone found injuring any of
their property, the men adopted a resolu-
ton offering their services to the mayor as
special police to preserve order and protect
the property of citizens of all classes.
1t was also voted to stand by any manu-
facturers who might be boycotted by the
manufacturers association for hiring union
men, and if any firm refuses to sell stock
to such manufacturers the men pledge
themselves TO let such stock alone, and to
use their influence to that end anywhere in
the United States where a union man is
employed.
A resolution, thanking the grocers and
provision dealers for refusing to accede to
the request of the manufacturers to deny
the men credit and promising to settle all
their bills at 100 cents on the dollar, was
adopted.
The men also voted in appreciation of the
spirit manifested by Rev. John Ramsey, a
local clergymen, in the attitude he has taken
in refusing to accept any salary from the
members of his church who represent the
working people.

At NEW YORK
Business Operations are Brought to a
Standstiil.

NEW YORK May l6.-Seeretary James
Grant of the Paving Cutters National I'M
ion, whose headquarters are in this city,
today received a telegram from Secretary
Dyer of the Granite Cutters National I'm
ion saying lockout all along the line"
This means that 5000 men have been
locked out and that the only quarries now
in operation in the New England states are
and Waterville, Conn, owners of which
have withdrawn from the New England
Granite Manufacturers Union.
These quarries afford employment to
only about 800 men.
The immediate effect of the strike in this
city was practically to bring to a standstill
all building operations with menace of
still more far-reaching effects. Many other
trades will undoubtedly be influenced if the
struggle be protracted.
Pickets of granite cutters will watch
every boat load of stone that is brought to
this city and in every case where it comes
from quarry in the combination the work
men will be warned not to handle it.
Arrangements have been made with the
general executive board of the knights of
Labor which meets today at Pttsburg
whereby immediate action will be taken to
make the strike national i'll its character.
Besides the men directly employed in
paving and doing stone work on buildings
the strike includes many branches of build
ing trades, such as derrickmen, engineers
truck drivers, brick masons, hod carriers
plumbers, gas filters, carpenters, plasterers
and iron workers.
The effect on the building industry will
be seriously felt in this city, Philadelphia,
Washington, Albany, Chicago, Milwaukee,
ST. Paul and Kansas City. The New Eng
land Association supplies large quantities Of
stone to all these cities.

waiiing this loss.
