ton special says: president McKin-
ley is not likely to cancel his Chicago en-
gagement on account of the working
mems protest over the postoffice corner
stone. The corner stone was cut 10
the Maine quarries at union wages,
prevailing there, which are ten cents
per hour less than the Chicago union
wages. The Chicago union demanded
that the Maine men cutting the stone
be paid Chicago union wages. This the
contractors refused to do. The Maine
quarryman were ordered to strike
as we'll as the Chicago stone cutters.
The stone, it is claimed, is now being
cut in the same quarry by Italians who
have a union of their own, and
and who receive the eastern union rate.
