For the query about the stonecutter's union I would get in touch with the General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of NY for some suggestions.  They are at 20 W. 44th St.; and their phone number is (212) 840-1840.

Greetings,

Got the following request yesterday. Would anyone out there have any
leads?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Would you happen to know where I could find more info on the stonecutter's union in New York State/City? Don't know if Steve told you, but I used to carve stone at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Anyway, I've gotten the impression that historical info on the union is pretty sparse. Just thought I'd ask if you had any leads.
