STRIKE ON CITY BUILDING.
GRANITE. CUTTERS STOP ALL WORK ON
THE NEW HALL OF RECORDS.

Ever since John Pierce obtained the contract
the unions of organized labor have had a griev-
ance against him. He is said to be the only gen
eral contractor in the country who has not
signed an agreement with the Granite Cutters
National Union to pay the unions scale OF
wages The result is that yesterday there was
general strike ordered the structure in sup
port of the granite cutters. The specific griev-
ance against Mr.. Pierce is that the stone he is
using in the construction of the building is being
cut by non-union workmen employed by the
sub-contractor, John Hines, of Third-st and
Third-ave., Brooklyn.
A large force of men went to work on the
building which is at Chambers and Centre SITS,
at s o'clock yesterday but two hours later they
laid down their tools and went strike. The
men who struck were the members of the United
Derrickmens Union. the stonecutters, house
smiths, bridgemen and the engineers running
the hoisting engines The bricklayers did not
strike. because they have agreement with
the Master MasOnS and Builders Association
not to take part in sympathetic strikes. 1t Is
well known, however that they cannot work
derrckmen and stonemasons. so work on the
new hall must necessarily come to a standstill.
The erection of the new Hall Of Records has
progressed slowly. The contracts were awarded
in 1896 and tho cellar has not yet been COM
pleted. The strike Of housesmiths and bridge
men is the most serious of The present troubles
in connection with the erection of the hail. be-
cause without their aid the iron framework
being a stubborn fighter, and unless Tammany
Hall steps in and insists on his giving way to
the strikers for political reasons the work on
the building is likely to be long delayed
