BEDFORD, Ind. Aug. 6.-The strike
which began at the Hoosier quarries mill
last Friday has developed into what may
prove the most serious labor trouble in the
history OF the oolitic stone district. The
trouble originated over a reduction in
wages OF the sawyers from 1914 TO 1872 cents
an hour. with pay for the noon hour.
which they are required TO put in without
shutting down the mills.
Every wheel at the Hoosier quarry Is
idle and the men at the Robin Roost quar-
~ went out to-day on account Of the same
cut. The number OF men idle tonight Is
about 500. and it is expected that tomorrow
will increase the number who will go out
through sympathy. The indications to-
night are that a general strike in all the
quarries will result. An effort is on foot
by the quarrymen TO unionize and stand
together. The planer men have refused to
handle stone which had been handled by
nonunion sawyers.
