STONE MASONS.
STEVEN TYNE WRITES OF THE
SALT LAKE UNION.
The Apprenticeship System Not In
VOgue-Death and Accident Bene-
fits-Date of Organization.

For many years the stone masons
of this city were affiliated with the
Bricklayers and Masons' Interna-
tional union.
About january. 1898. considerable
agitation was started among stone
masons. having for its object a divi-
sion of the union, both bricklayers
and stone ma.sons being OF the opinion
that the business of each trade would
be better managed in separate bodies.
On February 8, 1893, at a special meet
ing, the Stone Masons' International
union was organized, with Mr. An
drew Mathus as president; L. Herrick,
vice-presideglt; r. a. Given. recording
secretary.
On February %, 1893 the union was
installed by the deputy of Bricklay-
ers' union, Mr.. Henry Windaw. At
this time the StonemaSonS' union was
in a very healthy condition, finan-
cially and in membership. But the
depression of trade. which had already
been felt, was destined 10 scatter their
forces in search of work. whereby
they might earn their living. Many
members expressed dissatisfaction at
the many demands made on the treas
ury for the support of bricklayers
throughout the country, ana DelleV-
ing that whatever support this union
should be called upon to give should
be given to brothers in the same
trade. a change was decided upon,
and application was made for char
ter to the Stone Masons' International
union. The request was granted. and
November 9, 1894, the charter was re-
ceived and the union duly installed.
that duty having been delegated to
one of its members by the president
of the International union, John Nc
gregor.
In reviewing the history of this
organization, it is my duty to state
as clearly as possible the objects
sought to be obtained. And for this
purpose I will refer to the preamble
of our constitution, in which attention
Is called to the fact that our trade is
degenerating. and calls upon us to
inquire into THE causes of the depres-
sion of our trade, and, if possible, to
elevate to the condition ITO which its
Importance to the community entities
it.
In order to comply, and. if possible,
stop this degenerating in our trade,
we adopt a system of apprenticeship,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-04-28

with the view that all members of our
union shall be thorough mechanics in
the trade. But in this we are strenu-
ously opposed by those who should
be the first to uphold the system. in
order that they may make a few more
dollars from their contracts. The
workman is forced to a system of
quantity in the place of quality, and
thus the common class of masonry is
brought ito such a low standard, that
1t becomes merely a question of the
strength of man for the work,
rather than a knowledge of the work;
and thus we find that this rushing
age is not only detrimental to our
trade, but is a menace TO the lives of
the people who occupy the property
where due regard is not paid TO the
proper construction of the building. I
believe that this state of affairs can
be remedied, to some extent, by more
stringent laws governing the admis-
sion of new members. At the present
time a man may come into a -own
from no one knows where; he pro-
cures a job on the walls of a rough
job: he has got the requisite strength
and alertness; he is able to hold a
job on the class of work on which he
has been engaged; our brother men,
bers Vouch to this fast and he Is adj
mocha mic. In some other country he
must produce his i1dentures, or give
positive proof of having served an
apprenticeship: but this country's
population is composed of so many
nationaliIties. many IF whom come
here advanced in years. that It IS I'm
possible to find out WHISTLER a man
has served an apprenticeship or not
Therefore I believe that a proper sys-
tenn of tests and examinations should
be adopted, which candidates will be

ANoTHFR WAR IMMINENT.
Expected Declaration of War by
Guatemala Against Mexico.

A despatch of January "a from
the City OF Mexico announces the
receipt Of Guatemala's reply to the
demand OF Mexico. Although the
contents are not known outside Of
official circles, it is generally under
stood they are to the effect that the
territory disputed belongs to Guate-
mala, aud if any indemnity is to he

would be landed on Mexican soil,
and the Zaragoza would be imme-

There is an intensely patriotic
spirit manifested ia Mexico, war
meetings being held in different
places. It is said 25,OOO volunteers
could be enrolled in the capital il

troops on the Guatemalan border,
and more are being concentrated at
strategic points. Ii war be declared
the Mexican forces will march for
the Guatemalan capital, and the
Guatemalan troops il repulsed will
fall back upon the capital for its
defense.
There was demonstration OF stu
dents in the City of Mexico, when
10000 young men invaded the Ma
tional Palace to offer themselves as
volunteers to fight. Crowds stand
in the street waiting for news from
Government headquarters. Every
warlike rumor is received with
enthusiasm. The taunt OF the
Guatemalan press that Mexico has
never won victory has aroused the
Mexicans, and they are aching for a
chance to chastse their insulters.
