Contractors Statement

John T. Wright Of the firm of Saffell e.
Wright, contractors, who received con-
tract from the city for putting on an ad-
dition to the Sand street school building.
was seen yesterday regarding the alleged
breach of contract committed in working
the men employed on the building q
greater number of hours than that
allowed by state law. in answer to which
he gave the following statement:
81 am aware Of the provisions of the
law in such cases and have kept strictly
within the limits. Our men go to work
at 80 in the morning and quit at A 30 In
the afternoon. They are allowed GER
tain liberty as to the time OF beginnin 2
work. all that is required of them being
that they put in eight hours.
"On several occasions the boys have
taken an extra half hour off at noon on
account of the heat which they made up
by working for half an hour longer in the
evening. Once or twice couple of the
men have been delayed after regular
hours by the tardy arrival of some load
of lumber or other material. At sucn
times they stayed to unload and put the
lumber under shelter, but they did it vol
UNFAIRLY.
"On another occasion one OF the car
penters asked permission to make tool
boz for himself out of some scrap lum ber.
which was granted him. He must have
been employedlin making the box for some
time after he quit his regular work."
All OF the above statements were yer
fed by the foreman. Fred Meier, who has
direct charge of the men and attends to
such matters as the time of beginning
and quitting work.
When asked regarding the bricklay ers
and grader: who had worked on the
building, Mr.. Wright said that such pof-
tions Of the contract had been sublet by
him to T. A. Asbiige. who in turn sublet
the grading work. AS to the number of
hours that men were worked on that
portion OF the Job, Mr.. Wright said he
did not know, nor could he be held re-
sponsible. as he had nothing 20 do with
it further than letting the contract.
Il could not control that part of the
work. said he, any more than | could
that the men employed in the lum ber
yard and planning mills. who work 8 and
ten hours a day, should only put in eight
hours while engaged upon the lumb Der
used in constructing the school house.
The men regularly employed by Mr..
Sartell and myself are non-union men,
and on other work than that at which we
are at present engage I'd they put in nine
hours daily. On the job we are now
doing the eight hour limit has been
maintained from first to last"

means for maintaining east-bound and
west bound rates and says that an agree
ment has been reached TO be finally con-
sidered in SepteInb ber il being in the
meantime ali evident Impropriety to
make known the details OF the arrange
ment
These agreements TO prevent low and
to secure high rates of railroad trans
portation have been under consid grafton
for several months. The com animation
will be the ngreatest assoc ation of capital
which America, perhaps the world, has
ever known. 1t embraces all the Ameri-

fortunately for New england. The obi &c t
is to abolish Competition OH freight and
passenger rates, to guard against any
possible lowering of prices and to ac-
complish, as soon as traffic will bear it,
u raising of the present charges.
In view of the immense interests in
volved, affecting the pubic who are to
pay as we'll as the railroads which are to
receive the sums charged Tor transporta-
ton by the different companies constitut-
ing this great com bnation, l desire to
ask whether the interstate commerce
comm ission, as the appropriate ard faith
ful guardian of the rights of the people,
as against railroad exactions, is watching
and investigating the steps taken by the
present combination for the purpose oi
discovering whether its proposed agree
ment would be in accordance with the
common law and with the statutes of the
United States against pooling and trusts.
and with the view. if they are illegal. to
prevent, IF possible, their consuma-
ton, instead OF allowing them to enter,
unresisted, in full operation.
The Tribune says the counsel for the
companies will see that the agreement
complies with the laws of all the states,
as we'll as those of the United States"
While the attorneys for the road are
working to this end il seems imperative
that the officers of the United State.
should also labor to see that if the agree
ment is unlawful 1T shall be kept from GO
ing into eject. 1t seems to me that al
laws against any kind of monopolies anC
trusts, whether enacted by state or ma
tiCn will be inslg2 iiicant and worthless il
this gigantic railroad trust cannot be de
feated.
Very respectfully.
