SUES STONECUTTERS'
UNION FOR BIG DAMAGES

j. c. Boyer filed suit yesterday
against the san Francisco and vicinity
branch of the Journeymen Stonecut-
ters of America to recover $5910 dam
ages he alleges he has sustained
through the conspfring of the officers
of the defendant union against him.
Boyer complains that the union in
duced his discharge from the employ of
the McGilvray Stone Company without
cause or provocation. He SAYS that
some time ago the McGilvray Stone
Company secured a new stone-planing
machine and he entered into the em-
ploy of the company as the operator
thereof, he being the only man on the
coast qualified to operate the machine.
He says the union made no objection
to him, for long time, permitting him
to instruct several stonecutters in the
use of the machine, with the result that
the company purchased a number Of
the planers.
Finally. however, he says, the union
members conspired against him and
demanded his discharge. He sought adj
mission 30 the union, but was denied
the right, and finally the stone com
pany by which he was employed was
forced to yield to the demands of the
union and give his position to one of its
members.
