This action was taken, members of the unton say, in view of the published statement that the master masons would have acceded to the demand for $2.50 a day if they had been assured that Ube wages would not be tn creased agnin. Mr. Richard Grantlin, scretary of the unton, stated to a STAR reporter to-day that one consideration that entitled ‘the hod carriers to the increased wages asked for was the entorcement of the law relating to the size of the bricks. While @ hod filled with bricks heretofore welzhed 90 unds, now a hod tilled with 16 bricks, the regu- Fitian number, will weight 114 pounds.” ‘Thus the labor ts made much more severe. AS to the state- ment that the master masons 9 iil atroduce ma- chinery which will enable them to dispense in part with the services of hod carriers, Mr. Grantlin sald ‘that this matter had been Uhoroughly Investigated by the union and it had been demonstrated that the cost of such service Was much greater than the service of hod carriers on the old plan. Experte hod carriers would have to be employed wo a ‘the bricks upon the scaffolds. The colored men 12 the south, Mr. Grantlin sald, have agreed not to take the places of the striking hod cairiers, so the master masons have had to look out for white men. ‘Nine white men came here from Norfolk last Wed- nesday to Work as hod carriers, and some are at work. ‘The members of the untoh claim Usat thelr services are mauch more veluable than these im- ed hod eaariers, While the imported ten exrry 12 to 14 bricks inthe union men fp compeiied to carry 16, anc when there ts At should be reraembered that ty months in the year to work. M Uhat if the bricklayers’ union had passed resolutions ‘that Mey would not work with “scab” hod carriers, the master masons and builders would have ac- ceded to the demand jong ago. | The lod carriers? uulon, of which Robert Roots is prevident, com- prises'about 800 meimbers, of whom about 50 are white men. CONTINUED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. In the Police Court to-lay, the case against John Gray, a colored unton hod carrier, charged with as- saulting a non-union hod carrier, named Edward Moulton, by striking him op the hand, was con- tinued for want of prosecution.
