Contractors Will Convert Sky Scrap
err Into Huge Fortress.
CHICAGO, April 11.-Contractors
working on the Merchants Loan &
Trust building, Clark and Adams
streets, are planning to convert the
new sky scraper into a huge fortress.
All the union men on the building have
either struck or have been discharged
in the last two days, and efforts of the
contractors to finish the building in
side of the stipulated time, May /, with
nOn-union men, have, it is considered,
practically made the work test Of the
strength of the contractors and labor
unions in the present labor crisis in
Chicago. At present all the doors and
windows Of the building are barricaded
and the structure is guarded by a large
force of policemen and private detec-
tives: The contractors say that a. large
force of non-union men will be put to
work on the building at once, and
sleeping and eating accommodations
will be provided for them inside the
building, in order to prevent clashes
with union men.

ceries must keep their doors closed on
Sunday and do no business. The ma

of the smaller concerns in the. suburbs
have not done so. 5...55s s ..se b ,s.5.. r..

The law passed by the Minnesota leg
islature Of 1898 prohibiting any labor
other than that of charity or necessity
being done on the Sabbath day, was
sustained yesterday by the United
States supreme court.
This decision was received with much
qualification by journeymen BARRIERS
and members of the BARRIERS union,
who have for a long time been fighting
for day of rest.
The case was that of Paul ]. Petit,
Minneapolis boss barber, VS.. the state
Of Minnesota. 1t was argued for the
state by Attorney General Douglas,
who appeared before the federal su-
preme court last fall. When he re-
ceived the news yesterday he was
greatly pleased.
The case against the Minneapolis
barber was in the nature of a test, as
Petit was the first to be prosecuted I'M
der the act. After being convicted in
the minor courts the question was laid
before the highest tribunal in the land.
The BARRIERS watched the case with
great interest. The contention of Petit
was that the law was illegal and un-
constitutional. but this did not hold
with the supreme court. ::
Fred D. Underwood, now vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad, took up the,
fight in behalf of M. Petit as it was
he who was being shaved when Mr..
Petit was arrested. He betrayed the
Expenses Of testing the case.
The contention that the act should
be held unconstitutional because there
by it restricted the operations of this
particular class of craftsmen as con-
ira distinguished from other classes of
labor was not upheld. The court de-
cded that whatever labor was needful
during the day of rest for good order
was allowable, but this did not cover
the BARRIERS case, and the provision re-
lating to works of charity and necess-
ity> did not cover it. The court pointed
out that the law did not prevent man
from shaving himself on Sunday or
from having some other person do it..
It merely compels the closing of shops
| as a matter of consideration to the
employees.
| In view of these facts the supreme
judges hold that the legislature had
not exceeded it's authority in this mat
ter, and as keeping the shops open is
not necessity the state has right to
enforce the closing law. IS.

BARRIERS union Monday evening the

Committees from the two sides, the

conclusion Of the meeting no definite
had been made. H.. ,;..j
Tuesday morning the board of arbi-
tration, consisting Of F. B. Long, j. c.

The number of hours to be consid-
cred working day shall be eight, and
all time over this shall be considered

BILE time for Sunday. y - = Z
The contractors shall have the option
of having in their employ in the pos
titiOn of superintendent or foreman any
man who is not a union man, provlo-
that he be not regular carpenter. IN
the case Of his being a regular carpen-
ter he must be q union man, and In
the event of his not being q union man
in order not to violate the rules of the
Building Trades council, he shall be
appointed member In an honorary
sense, and shall receive g card for the
same. to be good during the continu-
ance of that contract IN
It will be observed that this Is prac-
tically victory for the men, as all
demands that they have made have
been complied with, with the exception
of the wage question. The men de-
manded s2k cents and received BIZ
cents an hour. ISL ,.=R.54 4. :$=.. iz5.
