The Bricklayers' Benevolent unior
held it's weekly meeting Thursday
evening, which was well attended. The
action of the Muckle Carriage COM
pany, which is about to erect build
ing at the Minnesota transfer, in re-
fusing to pay the scale of the union
was taken up, and after considerable
discussion it was resolved to bring the
matter before the trades and labor as
sembly at the meeting of that body
Friday evening. The committee which
waited upon Mr.. Muckle reported that
that gentlemen claimed to favor union
labor, but would not pay over So cents
an hour for such labor. AS the scale
of the bricklayers is but 40 cents an
hour, and as employment is to be had
only six months out of twelve, the
| wages asked by them are not unrea-
sonable. Ten of, the members are al
present employed at Benson, Mimi.

Cherokee, To-, in each of which places
the regular scale of the union is paid
and the nine-hour day recognized.
