MAY DELAY FEDERAL OFFICE.
Brick max ers' strike May Compile
cate Affairs of tho Chicago POST
Office.


Chicago, Aug. 4-Complications have
arisen in connection with the laying of
the corner stone OF the new federal
building which may interfere with the
arrangements. The officers of the Chi
cago Stone Cutters, Union say there
will be no corner stone laying unless
President Mckinley. or some other vis-
itihg official, takes off his coat and lifts
the stone into position himself. The
trouble arises because the union has
been unable to reach an agreement
with Contractor John Pierce, who is
cutting the stone. President Sullivan.
of the Stone Cutters Union, said yes
terday:
No union man will have anything to
do with the laying of the corner stone.
This much is certain. We have made
every effort to have the work done in
Chicago by union men, but up to this
time have failed. Without the assist
ance of the derrick men and bricklay-
ers can not see how there is going to
be any corner stone laying. Organized
labor worked hard for an appropriation
for that building, and it had right
to the work. But it seems the stone
cutting is to go to non-union labor: not
only non-union, but outside labor
When they get ready to set that nom
union stone. the Chicago labor organi-
cations will be ready to cease work in
all departments.

precipitating the greatest struggle be-
tween the employees and employers
Chicago has known. The trouble has its
origin in the conviction of the bosses
and contractors that the exactions of
the unions affiliated with the building
trades council have become practically
uncomfortable. Each succeeding years
agreement is said to be more oppressive
than it's predecessor.
An ultimatum demanding that the
lbrickmakers' strike be declared off has
been issued by the Masons and Build
ers' association. If the strike is not
called off within week the resolution
provides that the agreement of the ma

Won In Spite of His Lawyer.

A well known attorney is telling a
good story on himself. He had been
retained to defend a counterfeiter and
advised him to plead guilty. His client
did so. and as there was in the mind of
the court a fixed idea that If a prisoner
pleads guilty he does so because he
has no attorney the judge asked him
why he made that plea.
Because my lawyer told me to-"
Did he give you any reason for It'll"
Yes. He told me would have no

plea of not guilty to be entered, and
