RUM0R OF .DISLOYALTY
To Be INVESTIGATED
Fear That Granite Cutters Have Rebel
led in the Duehey Strike.

A rumor to the effect that the granite
cutters had rebelled in the strike
against Duehey & Sons and Architect
Schneider Vas heard on all sides yes
terday. and the result was the appoint
ment of an investigating committee
by the members of the Allied Building
Trades Council at meeting OF that
organization at 524 Sixth STREET north
west last evening. This committee will
make efforts this afternoon to ascer
tain whether the rumor is true. If it is.
the Building Trades Council. which in
stituted a strike against Duehey & Sons
and Architect Schneider last fall, viii
have slim chances Of carrying out their
plan TO hamper building operations on
the three large apartment houses in
course of construction by these firms.
Al the meeting last evening delegates
from the Granite Cutters Union were
conspicuous. because Of their absence at
such crucial moment q view of the
rumors heard and the absence Of the
delegates. the investigation committee
was chosen. A resolution declaring that
the strike be maintained at any cost
was adopted by the council of the
trades. and efforts will be made to cor
rall Plumbers Union. No. 5; Interior
Marble Workers Unions, Nos. and %,
and possibly the Granite Cutters Union.
and bring them back into line.

ing that the season is the dullest in
years. The extra session is held re-
sponsible for the condition.
Nearly all of the Congressman who ar
rived to attend the session have re-
turned TO their homes FOR the holidays.

Congress have done the same. There

Court. No. l. for three weeks. is draw
ing 10 close. The Hayes faction. the
defendant. concluded its side of the tes-
timony yesterday afternoon. and evil
dence in rebuttal was offered in behalf
of the Burns wing of the knights of
Labor.
1t Is quite likely the taking of testi-
