PREFERS JAIL TO CRIME
Charles Davis, q stonecutter, Says
He Can't Get Work Because
Not a Union Man.

New York, Aug. LA young man who
said he was Charles J. Davis of Chicago,
and a stonecuter by trade, went to police
headquarters and gave himself UP as
fugitive from justice. He declared that
because of the rules Of the labor unions
he was unable to secure work at his trade.
He said that his action meant long term
in prison, but he preferred to take this
course rather than enter on a career OF
crime.
Davis was taken to the Essex Market
police court, where he repeated MS story
to Magistrate Cornell.
'.In 1897" he said, II was foreman
on the Chicago & North Western railroad
and forged some payroll checks. l was
sent to the refornatory at Pontiac under
an undeterminate sentence Of from one to
fourteen years. Under the laws there a
person can be released under parole, but
he must report once month After
staying there two years was released on
parole. neglected to report and was sent
back to the reformatory, where l stayed
nine months. They let me out On parole
again. I came to New York about two
months ago with a little money IN my
pocket, but 1t did not last long. I tried
to get work at my trade, but everywhere
I went they demanded to see my union
card. had none, and could not go to
work, and have tramped the streets until
am disheartened I have violated my
parole and want to be sent back to the
reformatory, where I can at least have a
place to sleep and something to eat.'
''How long will you have to serve If you
go back asked the magistrate.
IT will have to complete the original
sentence Of fourteen years, replied
Davis.

MAY PROVE SERIOUS
Strike Of Building Laborers if Pro-
longed May Tie Up Building
Operations.
Officials at Headquarters, However,
Are Hopeful of an EARLY
Settlement.

Local building circles may prove to be
upon the eve of the most serious block to
BUILDING enterprises of the season as
result Of the strike begun Wednesday by
members of Building Iaborers' Union No.
IA. The laborers have built up strong
organization and say they control the
situation. About seventy-five new men,
bers were taken into the union Wednes-
day and since then many more have been
added to the roll of the union.
The origin Of the trouble dates back to
May, when the Building Laborers' union
adopted a scale of wages which it was In
tended should govern workmen for the
present building season. The scale was
Endorsed by the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, and the laborers were, it is understood
promised the support of the building
trades unions in an endeavor to put the
scale into operation should negotiations
then pending with the contractors prove
unsuccessful. The union was not able to
induce the contractors to agree to the
demands, altho some promised to grant
the proposed scale, and June 1 a strike
was threatened. Action was averted at
that time because it was believed the
contra ctors would accept the scale and
the matter dragged along until Wednes-
day when a strike was declared.

FRIDAY EVENING,

work on many large contracts will be
seriously delayed unless some sort OF O
settlement Is effected.
The most serious phase of the trouble
is that in short time, If no arrange
ment is made, the brick masons, stone
masons and members of other building
crafts will be compelled to abandon all
work. thus completely tying up all build
ing operations.
The strikers declare that the contractors
will find great difficulty in filling their
places on account Of the demand for Ia
borers in the harvest fields and in other
lines.
A member of the union said:
I'VE believe the demand of the men
for an increase from 20 to 25 cents per
hour is reasonable when we consider the
fact that the scale asked has been paid
by the contractors In ST. Paul for the
past two years without any mplaint.
The impression seems to prevail locally
that we were receiving 50 day. but this
Is not So and as low as $3.50 a day has
been paid and in no instance has an
ordinary laborer received more than $3.50.
Owing to the increased cost of many Of
LIES necessities, the advance in rents,
etc., the laborers have been having a hard
time in making both ends meet. Besides,
it does not seem to be generally under
stood that employment in our line IS only
obtainable during the building season, or
at most about eight months in the year.
We believe we will have the support OF
the building unions and earnestly hope
for some settlement Of the matter before
complications arise which may make the
matter more difficult Of adjustment The
men are firmly Of the belief that theil
demands are fair and that, under exist
ing conditions, the terms asked are none
too high"
At headquarters of the strikers, at Alex
ander hall, to-day, it was said three con-
tractors had signed the scale and tina
the men had returned to work for them
1t is the intention to put the men back
| at work as fast as the contractors sign.
! There is feeling among those in con-
troll that the matter will be settled within
a few days and without any very seriou:
consequences. .E.
