THE wArERpUY STRIKE r1zzLINa oUT.
w WATrRRURy Anril 0-Tba str;ta oe Il

WATERBURY, April 30.-The strike of the
 masons and bricklayers here last year was settled by some of the bosses taking sides with the union workmen and some with the non-union workmen. Since then those em- ploying union men have stood by the regula- tions of the International union, of which local union No. is branch. The non- union bosses refused to employ the men un- less ss individuals, and there were two class- es, union and non-union bosses, and union and non-union workmen have been as separate here as if one was composed of bricklsyers and the other hodcarriers. The local union still maintains it's influence, being assured of the hearty support of the bosses who favored union for the prestige it gave them with the Knights of Labor. April union men, through order issued by the parent organization, demanded all employ ing union men to sign contract allowing journeymen $3.50 per day of nine hours Union bosses, having already conceded much, were willing men should receive full days pay for nine hours work, but objected to giving every workman $3. 50, holding that some were worth $4, while others were dear at g. Journeymen would take nothing short of their full demands and eighty union men struck. The strike is now month old, put many union men, having tried ideleness and contention, have gone to work as individuals. while others have left town. Those remain- ing are satisfied that the trouble has been at the expense of workmen and beneficial only to employers. The union may now be said to be on it's last legs.

favorably known in artistic circles and by
