REPLIES TO STRIKERS
Typothetae of Washington Files
AffidavitS in Court.
ALLEGATION OF BOYCOTT
Picketing by Typographical Union
Also Charged.
SPECIFIC INCIDENTS CITED
The Employing Printers Submit
Thirty-Four Separate Papers
for Consideration.

The Typothetae OF Washington has filed
In the District Supreme Court thirty-four
aff1davits in support of their petition for an
injunction against Columbia Typographical
Union, No. 101. and its eight hour commit
tee. and in contradiction to the allegations
contained in the affidavits fled by the de-
PENDANTS in support of their answer.
Charges of picketing and attempted boy
colt are made in some of the affidavits.
while others contain allegations OF un-
trustworthiness of some of the persons
making affidavits for the defense.
The methods of advertisement used by the
strike committee and by the Typothetae are
set out in two OF the affidavits. The ad-
vertisements of the strikers are character
lied as attempts to mislead the public into
the opinion that first-cass printing can
only be secured at union shops.
John C. Hill. secretary of the Typothetae.
In an affidavit says that he has been in
charge of the advertising for the Typoth-
etae and has made arrangements with the
help secured for the Typothetae offices.
He AYERS that in all advertisements 1t
was clearly stated that men were desired to
work in open shops. and after the strike be-
gan every advertisement specIn~A that nine
hours would constitute days work No
ambiguity appeared in the ads he states,
and none announced there was no trouble
in Washington.
In his capacity of employer of help. Mr.
Hill says he took particular pains to adj
wise all applicants that the Typothetae was
conducting open offices. and in many cases
gave minute particulars regarding the sit
uation. He advised some applicants that
the workmen were on strike and he desired
men to take their places.

In Replication.

Mr.. Henry E. Wilkens make an affidavit,
which he says is In refutation of part of the
affidavits made by John Berg. president of
Columbia Typographical Union. and by
Thomas c. Parsons, chairman of the eight
hour committee. He appends numerous
clippings from certain local papers and
copies of others containing advertisements
by the eight-hour committee which, he
claims, refute the assertion or the TWO gem
tlemen that no boycott had been INDUCED
In or recommended on behalf of the union.
William II. Roberts, in his affidavit, testi-
f1es to cases of alleged picketing which
came under his observation. TWO compos-
itors employed in his shop, he says, the
evening of February Z last, started Tor
home but one Immediately returned ana
informed him that a number or plckets
were outside. Mr.. Roberts says he then
ACCOMPANIED the two men down the street,
when short distance from MS once ne
'fWhat are you folks doing here? Are
you pickets?' Mr.. Roberts asked. He re-
ceived an affirmative reply, he says, ana
then asked Don't you know that the
court has warned you against following
and harassing the men who are working TOT
me?"
The men answered he alleges. that they
would do no overt act Other occasions OF
alleged picketing are set forth IN the am
dayit.
On the question of boycott. the affidavit
of George L. Howard, one of the employ
ing printers, has this to say:

Stone Trade News.

Those engaged in the stone industry
have many reasons to feel gratificd
over present conditions. The year just
passed was the most flattering ever
known In the long history of this i'm
mense and growing business, and the
presnt year has begun even more aus
piciously.
The Hallowell Granite Works are in
readiness for good seasons work and
the Tayntor Granite Works will upon
the completion OF their new building
give employment to an enlarged num-
her of men. Good progress is being
made on the Tayntor sheds the electric
crane and other machinery being in
stalled at this time.
Throughout the length and breadth
Of the land the demand for cut stone
for practically all purposes has been
unprecedented. and the plants have
found il necessary to work to their
fullest capacity. many of them putting
in extra hours in order to meet their
demand. Buildings of every descrip-
ton have been erected and the number
of structures of more than ordinary
size have never been greater.
The architects have tried themselves
on artistic designs in cut stone, and the
tendency of the public taste shows un-
mistakable signs of a higher ideal in
MANY respects. The commonplace is
gradually giving way to finer forms
and more artistic effects. to which the
cut stone operator has been able tc
carry into reality. He has kept fully
abreast of the demands made upon

John j. Turner.

News was received in this city yester-
day to the effect that John Jewett Tur-

MN IN this respect, and, to his credit it
can be said has never failed to fulfill
the most eXaCting and painstaking de-
signs called upon to work out.
with the increasing popularity of
other building materials. stone has held
It's own most noticeably. This is "A
necessity. from the fact that so long
as buildings of an expensive character
are desired. like material must be
used in their construction. Stone
USED IN all ages as an admirable ma
terial for work of an imposing and
lasting nature. will always retain its
prestige and popularity. Other ma
terlals will be found-even some manu-
tactured by the hand of man-which
VIII gain a certain popularity but
nothing can set aside the work of ma
ture herself. and this alone is sufficient
to Keep alive the desire of the minds OF
men, for the true and beautiful in
nobler structures.
The number of government buildings
alone has never been greater than any
period of twelve months than during
1905. This is only one feature which
has called for thousands of feet of cur
stone while libraries, churches, Office
and apartment buildings, large resi-
dences and other structures too numer-
Gus to mention, have lent their aid
toward making the demand for this
ideal material most stupendous.
1t is apparently only the beginning.
however, of an era of prosperity for
toe cut stone never before experienced.
TIE indications point to this in n";n-
ner which can not be taken i'll any
other light. The harvest time is ap-
preaching and the cut stone industry
must make the best of it. for the gold
en- era never comes to men often and
unless tEey profit by its visit, like OPP
portunty, it may never knock again.
