CHANGING A SYSTEM OF PAYMENT

There is some talk of possible trouble between
of the Master Builders Association a resolution
was adopted to pay the men employed by the mem.
bers by the hour. The rate OF payment was liked
so as not exceed forty cents an hour for masons
and twenty live cents for laborers The employing
bncklayers say that trade now in such a shape
that they cannot afford 10 pay their men Tor idlo
time. Under the present system II a man starts 10
work in the morning and, on account OF the wealth
er or from other causes, is compelled to stop work
at noon, he draws fu-day pay. Ihe master builI-
think that il is only right that the men shouid
stand their share Of the loss consequent upon bad
weather. There is no intention 10 reduce the pay
of the brIcklavers and laborcrS, said 2 member OF
the Master Builders Association. We SIMPLY
don't wish to pay tor work that rs not done"
At the semI-annual convention of the Bricklayers
InterDatiOna Union held last week IN Jersey Clty,
the question of a change IN the system OF payment
was discussed, and it was resolved to recommend
to all the local unions throughout the United States
and Canada the system of payment by the hour IN
stead of the day. This system Is followed IN the
West and it has been found TO work well for both
bosses and jOurneymen. The chances are that an
arrangement will be reached between the 0tncers
of the BrIcklaycTs' Union of tails city aud the Mas
ter Builders Association, which VIII change the
system Of payment WI thOut strlke.
