B~R|CKLAYERS MAY
TIE UP HEDDEN CO.
Trouble Over, Prudential Work
Breaks Out With a
New Twist.

1t is possible that union bricklayers
will be called off of all the work of the
Hedden Construction Company through
out the country, as a result of the dis
pute over the Prudential building work
here. which has broken Il afresh.
Following a meeting of local No. 3 Of
the International Bricklayers and Ma
sons' Union last night the executive
board for the three locals of Essex
county, Nos. 3, Is and 20, have called a
meeting for tomorrow night in Michel's
Hall. to discuss the Prudential situa-
ton.
The local bricklayers struck in SYM
pathy with the iron workers during the
recent trouble between Post & McCord,
the Hedden Construction Company and
their employees. When that was set
Stled the contractors had decided to use
concrete instead of brick on the build
ing. Fifty laborers were brought over
from New York to do this work. While
tlltSb llOIS were ulllOIl lIleli IL
a felt that the work should be done
by local bricklayers and masons.
The New York bricklayers' unions
supported the locals here in this con-
tention and every effort has been made
by business agents of locals here and in
Manhattan to have the laborers taker.
off the new Prudential building. These
efforts have failed and the officers of
the Newark locals threaten that if
their wishes are not granted before
the meeting tomorrow night they will
tie up the work of the Hedden Con-
struction Company all over the country.
They declare that they are able to do
this, as their national order is in thor
ough sympathy with them.
1t is alleged by the bricklayers that
oil of the trouble in Newark has beer
caused by a superintendent in. the en-
ploy of the Hedden Construction Com
pany. This man, it Is said, openly an
nounced hat he intended to put
through the work on the Prudential
building with New York men. This
course has already caused one strike
which has tied up work on the new
Prudential and telephone buildings
and a more serious complication is APP
parently in sight.

LAWYERS PAY LAST
RESPECT TO GRANT
Members of Essex County Bar
Association Pass Resolu-
lions on Recent Death.

Resolutions regarding the death of
Alexander Grant, a well-known New
ark lawyer, who died several days ago.
were passed by the Essex County Bar
Association yesterday afternoon at a
meeting in Chancery chambers in the
Prudential building. Charles Borcher-
ling presided and Andrew Van Blarcom
acted as secretary. The resolutions
were as follows:
Alexander Grant died at his home on
Tuesday, August II, 1909. A native and
lifelong resident of the city of Newark
he was intimately connected with the
financial interests of the community. His
gifts made him many friends. and his
sympathetic nature was shown In numer-
Gus acts of kindness to his less fortunate
fellow men in their difficulties.
OF an amiable disposition, cheerful per-
sonality and engaging humor, with a fund
OF acquired by active expert
ence and extensive reading. he was a most
congen1al and, entertaining companion.
As a lawyer he was learned and skiiful,
always faithful to his clients, considerable
towards his adversaries, DESTROYS of adj
X var c eng the welfare of his brethren of
legal profession. He was the chief or
ganfzer of the Lawyers Club, having
been Its president during the earlier period
or Its existence, and was for many years
a member OF the American Bar Associa-
ton.
Happy in his domestic life and success
full in his profession, attentive to his
duties to the last in spite OF falling health,
Alexander Grant proved himself by, word
and deed a man worthy of the esteem and
affection of his professional associates
and fellow citizens.
We condole with his widow and his fam
lily in their bereavement. and while their
personal loss is g~rievous there remains
to them that consolation which comes
from the reflection that his was the Chris
tian's faith. that his life was fruitful "of
good and that his INC is cherished.

strikers and their sympathizers. Even
at the early hour of dawn the few per-

overcrowded with eignty-two prisoners.
The morning hours were marked by
the funerals of the rioters, which were
held in the Greek Catholic Church, Nc

strikers to attend in a body and ac-
company the strikers bodies to the

demonstrations at the funeral of the
strikers deputy sheriffs will be present
at the church and graveyard.
PITTSBURG, Aug. Clearing the

ployees called off a meeting which was
to have been held at noon at the Indian
Mound in McKee's Rocks. Eugene ".

made to retain them by the company.
Additional new workmen, it is said,
