The cooperative paint shop started
some months ago by the locked-out
painters is doing considerable work,
but the jOurneymen painters union has
| grievance on hand and has prepared
an address to the public, in which the
grounds of complaint are set out. 1t is
claimed that the boss painters union
and the builders exchange are Ievying
vigorous boycott upon the cooperative
shop. No contractor is permitted 20 let
contract to this shop on penalty
of fine and expulsion from the
builders exchange. The effect of this
course has been that half-dozen paint
erS have left families in almost q starv-
ing condition and gone elsewhere to
work. The cooperative shop was noti-
fed i'll one instance that they could not
have the contract for painting, even if
the work should be done for next to
nothing. The objection was not be-
cause of the lack of professional skill,
as the men connected with the shop
embrace some of the best painters In
the city; the only reason assigned is
that the boss painters and builders ex-
change hold a threat over any con-
tractor encouraging the lOcked-out
painters. The public is asked to EN-
courage the locked-out painters and to
assist in breaking the combination
against them under the promise Ct
cheaper work.
