Reply to E. S. Williams.
lMltor of Tho Tilliunc
Sir: it Kcenis iilmodt liikudltilc that
after ilvo months, in which to bludy ani
iliKL-st the importunt features of the t'.ir
pentcrs' demands un tho master buildura
of this. city, tli.u bo prominent a member
of tho Humlds' i:elmnge us Contractor
i:. S llltams should exiires.3 biieh pro
lound iKiioraneo us that set foith oer
his hlKnaturo In jesterday itepubltcuii.
As to his comment un tho rlKhts of tho
contractor to pay his bllK I hao noth
ing to nay. but if Mr. Williams had read
tho trade rules, u copy of which Is avail,
ablo to uciy contiuclor, hei would tlnd
mutual protection to contractors und em
ployes from Injustices heietoforo xHtlnu.
Mr. Williams claims that "tho liuiMlii,
Traii b Council demands an elKht-hour
da for all union membt rs of that body '
Villi Is not tine, and I cannot understand
how ho could hnvo been misled Into thli
Btntcmcnt. The rcabon whv tho debt
hour movement In fonnsylxanla was bo
nun in Scrmiton, lutl.er than Philadel
phia or nttsburir, is because Scranton
is recognized as ono of tho very best or
canlzed cities in tho United States, so
far as the bullilliiB trades aio concerned,
und far and nwny tho best oriwnlseel city
In tho state of Tcnns Ivnnla With thesi
facta in view, why should wo wnlt for
Philadelphia mid Plttsburs? And why
should not Scrunton bo tho that In lino In
tho cluht-hour movement? In movements
of this character It Is tho strenutli of tho
union rather than tho size of the city
that lends force to tho demund for a
shorter work d ly ....
After disposing of the eight-hour iiuos
tlon, Mr. Williams snB! "Tho next do
mand Is for nn Increase In wage's of 2J to
30 per cent, moro than they tiro rocelvlnsr
at present." This stntemnt I bollova to
be a willful cxiiBBeratlon of fact, for tho
eontleman could not havn been ho Rrossly
misled In his beliefs. Tho fact is that
nfter deposing ot the eight hour foatuio
of tho controversy the Imrcu-o In wnsres
demanded is Jum 7 rer cent It is evi
dent that thli statement Is made for tho
purpnxo of filshtculnc partUs whu con
template tho election of bulldiiiBS this
reason, and It needs no oilui criticism
than the mero llftinB of tho mantel which
the Kentleman has to adroitl) cait about
tho truth. If tho members of tho Build
ers' i:ehaiiBO purpose uwultliiff tho ar
rival of the lait hour, and then Imlster
Ihb up theii bide of this ejuti'tion with
falae statements, then Indeed must they
fe.el Insecure In tho po-ltlon which tlicy
h wo usMimcd
As to the demand that foremen bhall bo
members of tho union. It Is nn open ques
tion ns to vUio shill deiive tho most bene.
lit tlit union or the emploj or as a re
tult of thlb rule One thine Is cettuln.
that with lorcmen, educated In the lights
of tho union men winking under him, the
cmplovcr who h honestly elections of
worklns In hiirnumv with tho union will
not bo led into unnecessary trouble.
"Then," he bus, "tho contiuctoi must
pay ovety two weeks." 'ies, evew so, tho
employer must not vlolato this ono pai
tlculm law of tho commonwealth of
I'onmo Iv.inl i. Tho legislature ttUely
created this law for tho purpose of pro
tecting labor from that class of emplov
ers who deem It an cmtraBO for their era
plojis to demand their witses within a
loasunnble period If the lcglaliiture hid
not piaitlealb Invalidated tho law in
framing It through their neglect to at
tach a penalty clause, It would not now
bo necessary for Mr Williams to bo be
wailing tho fact that tho Carpenters'
union had taken up the matter, lining In
the omission of our state lawmakers by
placing a penalty on violations of the
two weeks' pay law.
As to JiH suBBestlon of threats of ar
son, otc , I hnvo nothing to say bv waj
of defense of nny m in who has made use
of sueh language as he has placed In
iiuotutlona. I will sny, however, that I
do not believe he can produce a union
carpenter In this eltv wfio has mado use
of nny such language ns ho quotes. It
appears to mo to bo tho old story re
peating Itself, that when there Is a
chance of dltlleultles arising betweon
labor organizations and employers, tho
latter Is working up some mo.uus of de
veloping lawlessness among the Htrlkeis.
If there Is a "sjstcm that will Inculcate
thoughts of murder und arson, u lb h
mitsldo tho labot organizations and would,
iciuliu no btroug force of detectives to
ferret It out. The union does not "com
pel a man to leave his work beoauio
that man does not caro to Join " It
simply refuses to work with him If ha
don't Join
The business ogent does not hunt up
trouble Tho fact Is that his hands aio
kept so full of trouble by simply taking1

The gentleman thinks "that the men,
will leeelvo more wages and better
