In the cutting of granite trouble arose fre- quently when the employers sought to use " lumpers " — ■ handy men, or laborers — on surfacing machines. ®^ The Granite Cutters claimed jurisdiction over cutting, dressing, carving, and polishing granite, whether done by hand or machine, and the sharpening of granite-cutting tools. Sec- retary Duncan said, " We do not stand in the way of im- proved machinery, but hold that all granite cutting ma- chines shall be operated by journeymen members of our ...union. "®^ To prevent the trespass of these machine operators upon the work of the hand granite cutters, the constitution of 1897 provided for the admission of such machine cutters upon the same conditions as the handicraft men, but the former could not go from machine work to hand work unless they served the usual apprenticeship at granite cutting. *** The Stone Cutters have faced the same problem but less successfully. The branches have frequently struck against the introduction of the planer into their territory or against the use of stone which had been cut elsewhere by machinery.
