he asks is that his employer keep to his agreement with the union giving him req sonable hours and fair. wages"
 How many granite cutters are there. Mr. Duncan?"
 We have about 14,OOO in the United States, and 97 per cent. of these belong to the Granite Cutters Union
 Three to Six Dollars a Day.
 And what wages do such men get, Mir Duncan2'
 According to our national agreements with the employers, they now receive a minimum wage of from 8 to $ per day, according to the locality where they work. The minimum wage in New Eng land is ss. and men are paid higher than that according to their skill In Butte City the lowest wage is $6 day, and in Helena, Great Falls and Spokane $5 a day. In some other places 1t is $350 and A, but where the wage sare high the maximum and minimum rates are about the same"
 The Eight Hour Day.
 'T4ow about hours?" I asked.
 We have the eightlhour day all over the United States" was the reply.
 Do you mean to say that the men who cut granite in Butte City get S for eight hours work '
 @SSt NAiNS Jbbl Wudt I mean.' re- piled Secretary Duncan. But wages of all sorts are high there As for inc hours, we have been fighting for the eight-hour day for long time We tried to get it through Congress, and are try- ing still In 1897 we got tired of waiting. and We then notified our employers that we should insist upon the eight-hour day beginning with the spring of 1900. Before then only one-third of our men were working eight hours. Since then we have all had that day. and that with iu- creased profit to ourselves and our em- ployers." What do you mean by increased pro- it, Mir. Duncan?" I asked. T mean that the workman is hotter or and that the employer gets more out of his work in the eight hours than he formerly did in the nine hours. Wages have risen as much as 2S per cent but nevertheless the product is cheaper than it was under the lorg hours and lower wages. That sounds like fairy story. MT Duncan" said l.
 Tt may sound so to you" was the reply. but 1t is a true story nevertheless, You must remember that granite cut ting is hard work. and at the same time work that demands high skin and great accuracy To do lt well one must be fresh and not tired out. Tn the long hours as noon approached. the men were played out and they had. to loaf or try

gence and skill. The man must be an in- -ventor as we'll as mechanic He has new problems coming up with every job, and she has to use his Judgment in ai- most every bit of repairs which comes be- fore him."
 How many such machinists. are there in the country?'' asked.
 There are all told about l5o.ooo in the United States"
 They Control the Trade.
 Then I suppose if the union has sew enty thousand members 1t practically controls the trader"
 Any organised body is as strong as ten times the same number unorganized. Ii there are ten union men in shop where hundred men are employed they will dc more as to regulating the hours of work and other matters than the ninety non- union individuals. We find this the case all over the country"
 What has your association done for syour trader" asked.
 E .4It has benefited it In many ways" re- piled President O'Connell. We have re- duced our hours from ten to nine. Before 1900 the machinists of the United States worked ten hours or more. At the begin. ming of that year we notified the employ. CTS that we should demand nine-and- ene-half-hour day at the end of six months and the nine-hour day beginning with January, 1901. We carried our point. We have gotten the nine-hour day not only for our trade. which. including those not belonging to the union, numbers l5o,- 600 men. but also for allied trades. which number 15o, 900 more.''
 How about wages? Do you get the same for nine hours that you did for tenr'
 'fyes"
 'sDses the association insist upon a minimum wager
 s'syes. but the minimum wage varies in different localities and is settled for each locality by an agreement with the employers there. In New York the lowest wage is 8 per day. In some other places 1t Is sa.50 and s4. Any employer can pay aa much more as he pleases. hut he must nay the minimum or our men will not work for him. :"
 No Piece Work Wanted.
 s'Then you are not paid by the piece7"
 ..No; our association. is against piece work. We believe 1t contrary to the in- forests of the workingman. The employ CT win say that such methods of pay ment give greater chance for the iu- dividuar and that every man can make more working by the piece than by the day. but 1t Is not true. The system Keeps every man up to q high tension It makes him strain every nerve to pro- duce a large output. and when the out put increases the employer invariably re- duces the rate per piece. so that the man finds he Is working harder and rceeiv- ing less than under the old day rate. This Is matter of experience.
 One Man to Every Machine.
 s.Rut does your association try to restrict the output7"
 ''No, 1t does not" said MT. oconneii
 But how. about your rule that one man shall operate one machine. and no more? That Is certainly a restriction of output"
 Not in work like that we do" replied Mir. o'Connell "Our machines are neces- sarily fine and we have to insist upon that rule to protect ourselves. The ern- ployer will say he Is willing to stand the loss of any work spoiled by having man run several machines, but we find that if the work is spoiled the man Is discharged

 the International Association of Ma chjnists was, Mir. o'Connell replied:
 "The International Association of Ma ch.nlsts has more than rocco members. and it embraces about half or all ,ne men in the trade. It has local unions scattered all over this country, Canada and Mexico. the largest being In the chief manufacturing centers. In Chicago there are about eighteen different unions. each of which acts for that city. We have a large number of local unions Tn New York, Boston and Pittsburg. and mere or less in every manufacturing city of the South and West"
 ''What do you mean by machinists?' '"The word machinist as applied to our trade" said President O'Connell, representing the highest intelligence and the greatest skill among the men who dea! with machinery.

 An Oriental splendor shone upon the succuient scene; rare jewels gleamed in silk and laces set, and glstening lights from myriad bulbs shot rays to lights that shot them back again; soft. sensu- ous. soothing strains of music rose and fell as the sea waves. murmurously; the merry laugh rang out; the quip and quirp of wits lent further sparkle to the fIatulent fizz; the whispered talk susur- rused as the signing of the pines: all language multiplied. and to the world out side an inside world of gayety and glint was there.
