trouble for the contractor who has the job
Of renovating the County Court House
The unions did the same thing while the
work of altering and decorating the in
terror of the City Hall was in progress
The trouble. according to the walking

agreement and belongs to the new Board
OF Representatives and in favor OF the
Amalgamated Painters Society
Two business agents of the Brother
hood OF Painters walked into the Court
House Yesterday morning and told Mr..
Bentz, who has the sub-contract for the
painting. that unless he put back at work
ten brotherhood men, work on the build
ing would be stopped,
The delegates were unable to see Louis
Wechsler, the contractor, who was out
of town, and they told Mr. Bentz, az an
extreme favor, that they would make no
trouble until they could see Mr.. Wechsler,
Before they went to the Court House the
walking delegates called on Brother Can
tor. Mr. Cantor also was away.
Last night a representative OF MIR Wechs-
Ter said he believed the trouble will be
amicably settled this morning by the firm
agreeing to employ equal numbers from
each union The union decided to defer
action until to-day.

Not a single desert ion was reported among
the boatmen and engineers, who belong to
different unions. 1t was said that there
was little prospect that these men would
quit and that their unions did not see why
they should help the transfers in trying to
pw.ish the firm.
Very few of the old men reported for
work yesterday morning at the various
yards. but about eighty non-un ion drivers
were secured, and with the few union men
who were loyal the firm announced that it
was perfectly able to handle all its orders.
The firm requested police assistance,
and one or two policemen were stationed
at each Of the pockets and yards. A few
strikers hung around but did no violence.
Others. however, gathered at distance
and hooted and yelled at the on-union
drivers.
But one driver out OF all the new men
hired refused to take out second load.
He gave a. his reason that he was tired OF
being called "scah,"
Curtis 4 Blaisdell gave out a statement

PRESIDENT PARRY ANSW Frs
GOMPERSS ATTACK.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind Sept, s,-Commcnt-
ing to-day on the speech Of Samuel Comp
ers. president Of the American Federation
Of Labor delivered here Yesterday. Presi-
dent Parry Of the National Association OF
Manufacturers said that il was time that
he had charged miners with lawlessness
in the carrying out Of their policy OF force,
and he was quite sure that the events OF
the past year fully justify the charge.
He then referred to an assault on a citizen
by union men at Chicago yesterday simply
because he did not have a union card,
and continued:
Think Of man not being permitted to
drive his own horses and Use his own wagon
without Lcirg set Upon by a crowd OF
drunken ruffians operGt ir g under the name
OF organ lied labor. Crimes innumerable
have been committed under the cloak
OF unionism during the last year. The
sentiment of ind, lgence for the deeds OF
ignorant men and the fear of inviting per-
sOnal injury to themselves have held many
citizens back from voicing a protest. The
neglect and refusal OF muI icipal authorities
to enforce the law against men connected
with the powerful organization OF labor has
also conf rmnd the vicious and ignorant ele-
ments Of uEionism in their belief that they
are law unto themselves.
MY offence in the eyes Of Mr. Gompers is
that have called the attention OF the coun-
try to the criminal pract ices 30 frequently
INDUCED in by unionsts 1t is true used
strong language ! have tried to talk
straight from the shoulder, as there has
been 30 much cant. political humbuggery
and cowardice in dealing with organized
labor on the part Of public men that unless
plain language was used no attention would
have been paid to what had to say.
Il think tho American people are tired
OF the crime Of violence, which seems to
be part OF the organized labor movement,
and unless trades unionists revise their
creed in connection with lawless methods
public sentiment will place its seal of con-
demnation upon the further development
OF the movement
IF what / have said about lawlessness
should assist in bringing organized labor
to it's senses, then I shall feel that am
sufficiently rewarded Yet l care nothing
for the commentator or the obloquy OF
trades unionists Themselves.
