Nearly 1000 Union Carpenters Expected
to Quit Work In Chicago.
CHICAGO. Aug. 31.-Nearly 1000 union car
penters held q mass meeting in Battery D1ar-
mory this afternoon and listened to instruc-
tions OF the Carpenters Council, relative to the
strike which begins tomorrow. The assertion
OF the master builders that scarcely LOCO men
would follow the leadership Of the council and
quit work looked rather dubious in view Of the
attendance at the meeting.
The strike is to enforce raise in wages
promised BY the bosses new associationisome
months ago. Throughout the proceedings
every aIlusion made to the strike and the de-
termination to go out was met prolonged and
, ringing cheers. President James O'Connell Of
the Carpenter Council asked that every man
belonging to the carpenters unions report ut
their respective meeting places on Tuesday
morning. There was some apprehension felt,
he said. that the mon working for bosses who
We're living up to the agreement were to be-
forced to remain idle This was not the case.
1t was desired that every carpenter should re-
port and II 1t was found that the Union scale
was being paid the men would be allowed to
return to work In lew days.
This telegram WAS received from repreBen-
tatiye of the council who visited the IgeDeral
headquarters Of the carpenters In Phiia-
delphia:
The General Executive Board sanctions the
action and promises the support OF the entire
United brotherhood. w. B. HALL"
