WORKMEN OF FEDERAL
BUILDING ON A STRIKE
Bricklayers and Stonemasons Object
to Work Done by Non-Union
Men on a Cornerstone

CHICAGO, Sept. 19s-A formal strike of
bricklayers and stonemasons employed
on the new Federal building was ordered
to-day. The foundation for the corner
stone, which is to be laid by President
Mckinley during the fall festival in Oc-
tober, was built last Sunday. The work
was done by union masons, but under a
sub-contract from John R. Peirce, who
has the contract for the stone work of
the Federal building. Few men are af-
fected, but unless the strike is settled
1t will probably prevent the laying of the
cornerstone.
The strike grievance will be brought
before the Building and Trades Council
Friday night and unless the disagree
ment between the labor unions and Con-
tractor Peirce over the cornerstone,
which it is claimed was cut by non-union
labor, is settled all work on the postoffice
will be stopped.
