STRIKING AGAINST THE MACHINE.
Chicago Stonecutters Run Up Against the
Genius of Invention.

Chicago Stonecutters Run Up Against the
Genius of Invention.
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The stonecutters OF
Chicago have gone on strike. The order
to throw down their tools and quit work
was sent out by the Stonecutters union
OF this city, and 800 workmen obeyed the
command. Every stone yard in Chicago
is involved. The trouble has been brew.
ing for some considerable time. and is the
result of some mans genius. For years
the stonecutters of Chicago has been earn
ing good wages, averaging, it appears,
from 81 to - u day, according to the un-
ion scale.
OF late, however, the stoneyard pro.
prietors have been introducing stonecut.
ting machines, one of these engines being
capable of doing the work of several men.
They are of such simple construction that,
it appears, almost any novice can operate
them. AS a result the regular trained
stonecutters were being slowly forced out,
and common laborers employed at lower
wages were set to work operating the ma
chimes. 1t seems, however, that few ex-
pert stonecutters are needed in every yard
to oversee the work and run things, and il
is just here the strike is expected to pinch
the companies.

Given In Condensed Form.
MANIsTRE,, Mich. Jan. 6--The action
OF the supreme court In sustaining the
constitutionality of the fraudulent debt
or act of Michigan has directed public at
tention to the case of Henry C. and
Charles II Dummer Of this oity. in whose
behalf the case was brought. With the
legality of their imprisonment fully af-
hrmed the two imprisoned debtors have
apparently no alternative but TO remain
In Jail as long as the creditor at whose In
stance they have been incarcerated sees fit
to pay their board. The First National
bank of Manistee. which brought the ao'
tion, has been paying the sheriff 81 day
for the board OF the two men for the las {
eight months. and apparently intends TO
continue.
From 1888 to 1894 Charles H and Henry
G. Dummer were proprietors OF clothing
and furnishing goods store on River street
in Manistee. In August, 1894, the firm
failed The bank lost $500. After investi-
eating 1t conoladed that the failure was
simply premeditated scheme to defraud.
Having come to this conclusion, the bank
caused the Dummers to be arrested in
November under the fraudulent debtor
aot, and on Dec. 2S. 1894 they were found
guilty by Circuit Court Commissioners
Erb, who ordered them committed TO Jail
until discharged, according to the proyis-
ions Of the law.
The men are confined In what is called
the woman's cell in the county Jail. 1t is
sx12 feet and about s feet high One base
ment window furnishes light and ventila-
ton and one bed has to do for both. The
elder man shows the effect of his long
confinement, being under the doctors care
most of the time. For time after being
taken TO Jail the men were allowed the
use of the corridors, but the bank officials
informed the sheriff that he must comply
with the law and keep them locked up.
The bank it seems, Is determined to have
the law enforced to the letter, though the
sheriff Is inclined 20 do all he can TO make
things pleasant for his prisoners

DETROIT, Jan. S.-Mayor Pingree Thurs
day showed his hand in new plan to re-

sold by the company temporarily as IA test
Of a new ordinance. The mayor hopes
