Tho cvact number of granite-cutters who nro out In this city Is not known, but Is thought to bo about twelve hundred. The number of ldlo men In New Kngland I will bo Increased to-day by fiom scventy-nvo to one hundred men, who will bo ordered out at Contractor Johnson's qticiry at . Millstone l'otnt, Conn. Tho cessation of work on the Memorial I Arch lu Brooklyn Is being soverely felt. A granite cutter said this morning that men had been offered as high as Sir. a day to re sume work there, but tho tempting oiler was refused. IIKLAYINU OU) 1MENE.T. Commissioner GUroy's contemplated action to temporarily appease the Indignation of property-ownors and merchants by com pelung contractors to lelaytho old paving stones is not causing tho stUUng pavers any uneasiness. j "That wen't hurt us any." said committee man McNalr this morning. "It will only make matters worse for the contraciors, for tho work will bo poorly done, an a matter of course. The streets vv til boon bu In u n orsu tondttlon than before. "As to Mr. Pierre's threat of bringing In Italian pavers, wo don't glvo that report uny more thought than wo did that about the German pavers. Tho Immigration llepart- Iiuentwlll not allow any contract, labor lu pass through without our consent, so where will tbo Italians como Iroiii? Why haven't they been brought Into use before " Mr. llereo Is reported ns b.iv lng that pav ing does not requlro skilled labor. Tho fact that pavers aro paid irum m.:,o to 6 a day proves that assertion to bo falne. About ono uian In twenty becomes proilclotit. "As to thestriko clause In tho contiacls. '1 hero Is not such a thing as a strlko clause In the paving buslnes.,. Tho contractor ma havo a strlko clause In their contructa with the builders. They may havo been consplr log agalust tho (merest ot tho builders a lung while." Hcgardlng the la lng ot stono lor tho Third aenue cable road Mr. McNalr said that It would not bo toucned, as It was Combine stone. ULOCklMl THE KTIII.KTS. " Now as to the blocking up of streets." continued Mr. .McNalr. " II Commissioner (illioj was making any exertion In tho 1m- ( teicsl of the public he would demand that the I Buicau of Bncum bianco remove tho ob structing material. Certainly the coutrac-. tors have no moro rights than property owners. "It has como to a questlou now as to I whether tho Dcpaitinent of Public Works; will tnvor the taxpayers or the combine." i commissioner Gllroj bald this morning : " I havo not decided yet how I will proceed. ' It Is the contractors' duty to put tho streets In proper condition, but thoy can't accom plish Impossibilities. 1 understand that Exocutlvo Committeeman McNalr, of the strikers, has said that tho committee will1 not even permit tho strlkcis to touch tho old , granite blocks." J " Will you order tho Department to do tho work?" I " I don't know what I shall do, until I hear definitely Iroin tho btrike Committee, other- I wise the situation Is unchanged." STKIERRS' IIIUKVANCK l.Xl'I.ilNRII. Secretary Grant, of tho Paving cutters' Union, this morning throw some additional , light on the position taken by the paers and their associates. Ho said: " If tho public could appreciate the many evils we have done away with by organizing and protecting oursch cs, It would moro readily understand why we nro so strongly opposed tq giving way to tho con tractors In this matter ot signing tho yearly scale ot wages Jan. l instead of May 1, as we now do. " Flvo and six J ears ago, when tho custom of signing contracts on tho former date was In vogue, tho contractors nad things nil their own way. They could dlctato their own terms In tho Wlntor, the men being poor and work scarce. Wo signed lor starvation wages and didn't receive a cent of pay from Nov. 1 to Juno 1. "When wo wero paid off It was In trade th'kets which wero good only nt tho Associa tion's stores Wo had to pay their pt Ices for tho necessities ot life or had to Uvoattho Association boarding-houses. " lly organising wo have overcomo those abuses, and do you blame us for not wanting to return to them? a hat's what we might have to do If we gavo In now. Our families and homes, as well as our wages, are at stako In this contest." John Plircp, of tho Paving contractors' Kxecutlve committee, was busy at bK ofllce In Temple Court this morning, sending and answering telegrams to New Kngland quarry owners. "bo far as 1 am aware," he said to an Evkmno Would reportor, " thero Is nothing new as far as we aro concerned. Wo nro Just as determined as ever to hold our own If It takes a long tlmo to do It. " Wo aro shipping stone to this city, un loading and delivering It, and weeaubco no icason why wo should not continue doing this for somo tlmo to come." MATTHEW DAIItU's CONT11ACTS. Public 'Works commissioner Gllroy says that he shall bo In no haste to award tho paving contracts In this city for which bids , wero opened J cstcrday. As stated in yester day's Kvkmno Would, Contractor Matthew i llalrd bid lowest on four contracts. He now holds contracts for tho work on West One llundrod and Nineteenth street and West One Hundred and Twenty-third street, and his men, who nio hired by sub-contractors Moran tc Low, nro tho only men at work in tho city on new stone. I Mr. llalrd employs nono but union men In his quanlcs or on his contiacts, and his quarries aro not Included among those whero men nro locked out. As a result there Is no embargo on the stono produced thero and no strlko among his workmon here. 'Ihcse uondltlons, added to tho fact that his bids wcro tho lowest, render It extremely probable. It Is said, that ho will bo awarded tho contracts aud can go right ahead with the work, thus affording employment to a largo number of tho men wuo aro now on stilko from other Jobs. CKMMSUED MONUMENT WORk. To a reporter, Mr. Ill own, of tho firm of Drown, McAllister & Co., said that a largo number of monuments and tombstones in tended to be put In placo uud decorated on Memorial Day were still unfinished In the yards In this city, and, owing to tho strike, could not be completed, and thus many peo ple would bo disappointed. In his own yard, he said, theio were seven or eight such, and he estimated that the number lu tho city would not bo tar from -'5o. .Mr. llrown pointed out one btone bearing this Inscription: Our dear parents. Julii.s Wcrtheiin; born in l'rsuktort, Garnisur. Died Sopt 'iT.lBT'i.aged Thu lemalnder of the inscription was chalked on tho stone, ni.d Mr. Drown bald It coiila bo finished lu a coupio of hours, but that tho bttlko pmcnttU. At tlio stilkcis' headqu.utcis Is was said that this ht.ueinout was entirely misleading. The men In tho monument yards, it was r alii, had been klu-n permission to finish all un completed w ork on w hleli they wero engaged, but wero piohlbltcd from beginning an) new Jobs In which New linglann granlto Is used. Comrade I- J. Atkinson, of tho G. A. It. Mcinotlul Day committee, stated that, solar as ho could learn, all monument work con. traded lor would bo ready lor Memorial Day. Pojvibly mui might bo delayed on the llrook. ljn.Meim.ilal Arch, but that fact would not Intci fcro with the day's ceremonies. HIE Mll'TII WANTS THE I.Oe'kED-OfT MEN.
