A LOCKOUT
Threatened Against all Granite
Workers Mayl4,
Unless Men Aceede to Change Asked
In Date Of Bill of Prices.
This the Men Declare They Will Never Do
Long Fight Ahead.

QUINCY. Mass, May 6.-Consislerabie
excitement prevails in this city over the
threat of lockout of granite workers on
May IA unless some settlement is made be-
fore that time. Both workmen and manu-
fscturers are anxious that the affair shall be
settled. as it would be serious blow to
both, and 10 the city in general. At pres
ent some of the manufacturers have CON
siderable work on hand 10 finish and are
receiving orders every day, which they can
not finish, owing to the unsettled state of
affairs
Business was on boom and ii looked as
though the coming summer would BE- 4 yery
prosperous one. Yesterday and today
large numbers of quarrymen left for other
places, where they have secured employ
ment. \ few of the quarry owners had hired
men TO work on their quarries, but the for
mer received notices from the Manufactur-
ers' Association ordering their discharge.
Next week the cutters will begin TO finish
the stones they are engaged upon and they
will be discharged soon as they finish.
II was voted in the granite cutters meet
ing last night To fine any member who
worked before MAY 1t in order 10 hurry
any work the sum of So. Everybody was
surprised Mt the action taken by the New
England Manufacturers Association in re
gard to Il general lockout. Under the agree
ment at the present existing between the
cutters and manufacturers in this city, no
lockout or struck was to be declared unless
three months was given by either party.
The men claim that the manufacturers
are breaking their part of the contract if
they discharge men ON SATURDAY of next
week. Probably before that time some sat
isfactory settlement may be made.

ations as useful TO owners of American
shipping a. practicable and also with a
view to increasing the value and efficiency
of American sailors as wcl a. protecting
their interests, the subject of compiling IA
registry of scamen is being considered. In
this connection | would respectfully invite
your views rs to the feasibility of the plan.
\ registry such as is suggested would give
access to all the sailors at every port
1t would show the average character,
qualification and capabilities of the men.
1t would bring the sailor to tn" ship which
wanted him and do away with shanghacng
or putting on board kidnapped men who
were incompetent. II would indicate the
number of men employed and wanting en-
ploymcnt, AMI thus show the prosperity of
the ports and the condition of maritime in
dustry and it would Indicate where wages
were higher or lower by the numbers
employed.
1t would show the nationality of the sea-
men and whether naturalized. 1t would be
of great advantage to masters, who could
obtain knowledge of where sailors were
abundant 1t would prevent delays in OBJ
tanning crews.N If convenient and agree
able | will thank you to confer with such
persons as would he interested in the kind
of register suggested, and give me the re-
suit of such observations at your earliest
convenience. Respectfully yours,

Reed Torments Holman on an Appropriation
in the lattcr's District.

routine business went into committee of the
whole on the river and harbor bill An
amendment by Caruth, appropratiDg 5000

Reed of Maine, saw an opportunity TO
stir up Holman, and he did so by moving to
strike out the appropriation of sl3 900 for
completing the embanknent on the south
side of Great Miami river In sarcastic
manner lc called upon the chairman of the
committee on appropriations TO rise and pro-
test against this extravagant expenditure,
even though it was to be expended within
his district II seemed that the gentleman
had u redeeming trait, that he was so hu-
man that when it came TO an appropriation
for his own district, the great principle of
economy. retrenchment and reform was no
more applicable To him than to the weakest
of representatives. Laughter.
Holman defended the appropriation and
referring to an allusion made by Reed 10
the town of Lawrencrburg, Ind, said that if
he hal alluded in Il similar manner To Il
town in the gentlemans district, the gentle
man could not think of nothing that was
too mean for him to reply. He denied en-
phatically that in advocating the paragraph
he WAS in ans way actuated by personal
motive.
Reed replied that he had not said that the
gentleman was actuatcd i'll legislation by
personal motives.
Whiting of Michigan, moved to strike
out the appropriation for ship channel y
feet in depth, connecting the waters of the
Great Lakes between Chicago, Duluth and
Buffalo. and insert in lieu thereof, pro-
vision authorizing the secretary of war to
appoint board Of engineers, to whom shall
be referred the report of Col. Poe upon the
subject of 20 foot channel from Duluth
to Buffalo through the Great Lakes. The
board shall also report as to the practibility
