Reply From Bricklayers.

Past President F. Mcclellan of the
Bricklayers Union, No 1, has replied to
the statement of Secretary Hall of the
Employers Association, which was pub
ltshed in The Sunday Star. He denied the
than 1000 non-union mechanics employed
in this city, and said there are not more
than 300 nOn-union mechanics, employed
by members of the Employers Associa
ton who are antagonistic to the closed
shop, as the amount of construction work
now in the hands Of these contractors
represents scarcely 10 per cent of the
work of the city.
THAT the open shop is an assured thing
in this city" he said, rs hardly The
employers contend that on several build
ings nOn-union men of one craft are work
ing side by side with union mechanics of
a different craft, and that this proves
that their statement that the open shop Is
in effect In this city is correct. part of
the statement is correct, but the employers
have placed the wrong Interpretation on
it's meaning.
Under certain conditions we do permit
union men to work with non-union men.
Such a condition existed on the municipal
building, when non-union plumbers worked
with the other craftsmen, all Of whom
were union. But this condition was not
permitted until it was seen that by forcing
the nOn-union plumbers to leave the work
We would seriously tnjure the contractor,
James l.. Parsons.
Such a condition as this cannot be con-
sidered as an open shop. and wherever
a non-union mechanic is working alongside
of union man. in every 1t is al
lowed because the contractor on that par
ticular piece of work has signed an agree
ment which specifically states that on fu-
ture work none but union men Will be
employed"

TENDERS ARE TESTED
SEVERAL STYLES TRIED OUT FOR
 CITY OFFICIALS.
Experiments With Dulnmy Figure of Smwdust Continue For Hour and Half--FOur Different Tenders
 Are Used.

Four lenders were tested yesterday afternoon at the car barns of the Montgomery Traction Company. the ex- pertinent being performed in the pres enoe of Mayor Teague. City Engineer A. T. 0ilchrist and Aldermen J. c. Tyson and c. A. Grifitn. The tests were very satisfactory, each illustrat- ing fully the advantages and disad- vantages of the lenders used.
 The experimenting began at o'clock in the afternoon, and continued until 5:20 o'clock. The lenders are at pres ent in use in Philadelphia, Memphis, Nashville. Cleveland and various other cities
 The first protective apparatus to be tried was fender similar 10 the ones used in Memphis and Nashville. It consists Of an advance guard, suspend cd from the front of the ears vestiputa. It Is connected with basket arrange ment placed directly in front of the car wheels. When an obstruction hits the advance guard, causing 1t to sway, a chain connected with the wooden basket throws 1t down, and the oh- struction is scooped into the basket. dragging the ground safe from the wheels.
 The obstruction used yesterday con- sisted of bag filled with blocks, saw" dust and other materials, making 8 very inconvenient dummy. Inasmucn as all the weight of the obstruction was thrown on the base, with no stop heaviness about it, the bag test was not as satisfactory as a dummy would have been but made very good sub stitute of a man when lylng across the tracks
 The second of the lenders to be test ed was of a protective apparatus which Is used in Cleveland ana other cities. known as the 'Eclipse.'' The fender is a protecting one, which claims to trip all Instructions and to throw them into a basket which Is formed when inc guard Is struck. From yesterday g exneriment. however, the impression was made that the apparatus would not pick up a body winch was recum- bent, the advance guard having tne tendency to roll over the obstructlop
 The third of the experiments was of a fender which Is used in PhiladeI- phia, and was the least comely or all the lenders experimented with. It consists of an iron brace with rope ln- ,tertwined. which tends 70 make a sois ! seek shelter upon it-away from the buzz of the wheels This fender an- swered to the tests exceptionally well. picking up the bag several times ana failing only once. ..,
 inc least satisfactory or them all. It was of a fender which is to be sta tioned beneath the car, directly In front of the wheels, and is designed espec- tally for the purpose Of protecting lives from destruction under them.
 General Manager w H. Ragland. of the Traction Company took especial pains to see to 1t that the Aldermen were given every chance to see the op- cration of the lenders, and had several cars waiting for the experiments be- fore tue city officials arrived. It is looked upon as quite prooable that the Council will Ike some suggestion as to what fender is most advisable for usa in Montgomery. It ss not known whether it will ask for another test.

 C0URT ROOM.
StandfOrd Cook was to Testify in Per- jury Case Hut Was Suddenly Ar- rented and Made Prisoner
 Himself.
If CT nigger gifts in trouble. heri

If CT nigger gits in trouble. he'll squeal"
 This characteristic of the average negro was forcibly Illustrated in the sudden arrest in the city court yes- terday of Stanford Cook, a negro. a witness against Tom Green, another negro, who was being tried for per jury. Cook is in jail and 1t Is thought he is wanted in Lowndes county for shooting a negro about ten years ago. Green, In his troubles, fessed on Cook and Deputy Norman quickly cuffed Cook and took him to prison.
 Among the number of witnesses summoned to testify in the perjury case against Green was Stanford Cook a negro from down the country. As soon as Green cast his eyes around and saw Cook, he knew that his presence forbode no good for him; He interpret ed correctly that Cook's testimony would be damaging. He had figured out the dope correctly because Cock had been summoned by the State,
 Waiting until after tho court en- tered into the trial of the case. while Cook was under the rule witb other witnesses in an ante-chamber, Green called JDenuty George Norman to his eside, and whispered something in his ear. conveying the valuable informa- tion that Cook was wanted in Lowndes county for shooting a "nigger."
 The deputy glided % the witness room and. as if to call the next witness to the stand. He called: Stanford Cook"
 A dark figure came to the door and the person of negro about S5 years old appeared Norman applied the cuffs and directed Cook to walk with him to the jail. The sheriff is now communicating with Lowndes county to ascertain if cook Is the negro wanted.
 Green was more fortunate than the negro he turned up." Green was ae- emitted hv a jury at S;S0 o'clock last night. after a trial lasting all the ar ternoon and part of the evening. " was alleged that Green had sworn falsely in a liquor case against Flem ing Lewis in a court Of justice.
