LETTERS FROM THE FEOPLE.
Under this heading short letters ot In
terest will be published when ueeompa
nled, for publication, by the writer's
name. The. Tribune will not be held re
upunsible for opinions here expressed.
Mr. 'Williams Hakes Answer.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. In jour Issue of today I saw a
letter from J. F. L.iverj who Lukes ex
eeptlon to homo statements mado by mo
to the llepublicin. Will ou please givo
me a llttlu bpuee to acknowledge, my
enots and eorieet borne wrong Impres
sions on his iait.
I havo been informed that the Hulldlng
Trades Council weie united on the elght
huur demand and if the iuv not I ac
knowledge that I WJi wrong In that par
ticular, but 1 have seen the printed de
mands of the Carpenters' union, tho
Plasterers' union and the Sheet Metal
union, and they all demand an eight
hour daj, 1 have since been informed
that the Plumbers' union havo signed
an agreement on the nine-hour day for
ono ear from last January, and tho
Painters' union havo had thilr strike al
leady so that the would only go out
to help the icst ot tho unions win tho
strike next month.
I5ut that will make no difference in
the exptn.se of a job If the iato per hour
Is not i.iised. I hope that the Trades
Council will not be to unfair to Its mem
bers as to allow somo to have the eight
hour day nnd leave the rest work nine
hours. I am well satisfied we shall bo
able to get all the help wo want from
the poorlv organized cities outside thN
region, but I Mill elatm that the unions
dt m mil un Increase of 25 to 20 per cent
above the present wages. The caipen
ters of thlb elt receive fiom 20 to 2
ipnts per hour anil now demand a. uni
form rate of 30 cents per hour which
in tho case of tho man receiving tho
minimum wages will be an increase of SO
per cent and in tho case where tho men
receive the regular union late as it is
todi ll' cents) the peruitage of lr
eiease will be 20 per cent above tho
present ruu I do not believe any ono
can flsuro this same problem and get
7'j per etnt. for an answer. Tho plis
terers demand eight hours and 40 cents
per hour eat present thev receive fiom
SO to J3 1-1 cents per hour) which will bn
nn ineieaho of Hi 1-1 per ont on tho
low rato and ") per cent on the high
est rate.
Now. perhaps Mr. Laverv has pome
new rule In mathematics that tho ordi
nary business man does not know about
In it Kurd to the f 01 email. 1 know that
in foreman did not daio to discharge a
w 01 km in for not doing his duty, lor fear
of the insults lie would leeelve at the
next meeting of Ids union He susgests
th.it it would take no btrong forco of
detectives to ferret out those who use.
foiee and lolcnee to ati their points
I notice in the Wurdner case It took tho
strong aim of the Flitted States mill
taiv foiee to suppress the lawless i-le-nunt,
and I think if the unions wish to
leave their work and claim the right to
nult at an time thev bee fit tnnt they
should not question the right of the con
tractor to get his work dono by any man
who is willing to do It.
In regnrd to the unions saving the mn
from loss of wages by woiklug for ir
responsible contraclois. I bellevo It has
1 on the men more to pav the salaries of
their business agents and other xpenses
connected with the running of unions
than lias been Faved to them by thfl
union, nnd ho that Joins a labor union
gives awav his rights as 11 free will agent
and gets very little In return for it
I do feel sincerely sorrv for tho fam
ilies ot the men that ore ho foolish as
to bo led Into Mich nn unreasonahln
strike, as th coming ono promises to be,
by u few men who have very little to loso
b it. but much power to gain In case of
success. I do not believe the majority of
the sensible men in the trades nre In
favor of It nnd but for tho horror of be.
Ing culled "benbs" would not bo out. I
hope tho best element will tako a hand 'n
this matter nnd not allow anything of
this nature to ceme upon them In tho
future. Bdwin 0. Williams.'
