Reply to E. S. Williams

Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t seems almost incredible that
after five months in which to study ana
digest the important features OF the Car
penters' demands on the master bullders
of this city, thal so prominent mcmher
of the Builders Exchange as Contractor
T.. S. Williams should express such pro-
found ignorance as that set forth over
his signature in yesterdays Rcpuphcah'
As TO his comment on the rights OF inc
contractor to pay his bills, l nave noth-
ing to say, but if Mr.. Williams had read
the trade rules, "A copy of when Is aNdll-
able to every contractor, he would ma
mutual protection to contractors ana en-
ployes from injustices heretofore XiSting.
Mr., williams claims that 1.-The Building
Trades Council demands an eight-hour
day for all union members OF thdt Dody' .
This is not true, and cannot understand
how he could have been misled into TINS
statement. The reason why the eight
hour movement in Pennsylvania was be
gun In Scranton, rather than Philadel-
phia or Pittsburg, is because Scranton
is recognized as one OF the very best OF
ganized cities in the United States, so
far as the building trades are concerned
and far and away the best organized CITY
in the state OF Pennsylvania. With these
facts in view why should we wait TOT
Philadelphia and Pittsburg? And why
should not Scranton be the first in line IN
the eight-hour movement? In movements
of this character 1t is the strength OF the
union rather than the size of the city
that lends force 20 the demand for a
shorter work day.
After disposing of the eight-hour ques-
tion MIR. Williams says: "The next de-
mand Is for an increase in wages of 20 to
30 per cent. more than they are receiving
at present" This statemnt | believe to
be a willful exaggeration of fact, for the
gentleman could not have been so grossly
misled in his beliefs. The fact is that

prised this afternoon when it was an
nounced that the alderman, who is now in
his slNheth year, had been married in
chicago this morning to Miss Eva Ke-
man, a girl 70 years of age. The rela-
tives of the alderman and the girl refuse
TO talk of the matter, but they were ig
norant of the wedding until it was an
nounCed to them by the telegram
The story told is that the alderman
went to Chicago on Sunday and that the
girl followed him last evening. The city
lawmakcr had shown n decided prefer
ence for the girl for some time, and the
match was greatly opposed by his sons
and daughters. The girl at one time was
employed in the family of the alderman
as a domestic, but on account of the
preference which the alderman showed
for her she was discharged by the ladies
of the household. The family of Miss Ke-
man was also very much opposed to the
match and say that they will not re-
Ceiye the alderman and his bride when
they return to this city. The relatives
of Mr.. FRANKIE are equally obdurate. Mr..
