N0N-UN1oN MEN TO WORK N CHICAGO.
HOW BUILDING OPERATIONS HAVE FALLEN OFF
FEW PERMITS IN FEBRUARY

FEW PERMITS IN FEBRUARY.
Chicago, March (SpeciaD.-Pla for starting
to work many more non-unton men tomorrow
at various points throughout the city were COM
peted to-day by the contractors who mem
bers of the Contractors Association. The largest
number will be sent 10 the Western Electric
Building at Harrison and Jefferson SITS, where
the Faulkenau Construction Company will re-
sumo operations with sixty bricklayers and
stonemasons and many helpers.
Other Jobs will also be started. II the weather
IS favorable and II is estimated that perhaps as
many as five thousand men will be put to work
To protect them q large number Of special off,
GERS have been engaged by the contractors. and
the city police force will also keep a close watch
at points where trouble is expected. Hundreds
Of special men have been sworn In by the May
or who will assist the police in preserving order.
lust how the war between the Building
Trades Council and other labor organizations
and contractors and builders is hurting bust
ness in Chicago is shown by the monthly list
of building permits. The aggregate cost OF
structures for which permits have been issued
is pitifully small in comparison with the figures
in other cities and it would even have fallen
below what IT Is but for the fact that the
permit issued for the Illinois Theatre build
ing helps swell the total cost of improvements
The South Division makes little better show
ing in number OF permits than the other d.
visions but the whole cost OF improvements for
February was only S3i42Jo In the North Dl-
vision, Of the eleven permits four are for addi-
tions and only four for structures over one
story high. In the whole city only one four
story and two three story fiat buildings are
authorized. OF the los permits issued in the
month, only hfty-five for buildings over one
story high. II the trouble between the unions
and the employers is not settled soon the office
OF the clerk at the City Hall. whose business IS
to issue building permits. may as well be aboi-
ished.

PLUNDERED, SAYS A sToCKHoLDER.

a former railway president in this city who is a
large stocSholder in the Third Avenue Railway
Company said last night:
1 was never surprised IN my life than to
witness the crash in the Third Avenue road. l

this city. and 1 considered Third Avenue shares as
good as Government bonds. 1t IS the oldest surface
railroad in the city. After careful consideration.
and with full realization of what l am saying.
give it as my conviction that the road has been
pundered by politicians TO the extent Of 100000
100000.
The expense of the contract work cannot be ex-
planned by saying that traffic interrupted the work
and that ii was more expensive than was counted
The Improvement undertaken in prosper
Gus times when the road was constantly increasing
its earnings. And in the face of all this find
the finances In a frightfully mixed condition. the
road overburdened with debt and a receivership
necessary. II strikes me that there is only one
conclusion TO be drawn. and that is that small
ring Of politicians in this city. seeing their oppor
tunty during time of great prosperity man
aged affairs that contracts came their way. and
after they once GOT a grip the road they did
not let loose till they satisfied.
II would not be at all surprising IL an investiga-
tion revealed wholesale robbery and landed some
of the principals IN Sing Sing.

say word of any kind about the situation.
1t is said by those who heard Mr.. Lauterbach's

which he placed" Notwithstanding this
dismal picture, Mr. Lauterbach was the gayest
of the gay yesterday, when, surrounded by the
songbrds OF the Grau Opera Company. he made
a bright speech presenting on their behalf a
diamond birthday gift to Maurice Grau. Never

the sympathy of his audience

How soon IL will be necessary TO appoint a
