FOR EIGHT HOURS


Pittsburgh Carpenter Strike For EigAl
thousand Idle Men.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May This city
Is now fairly started in the eight hour
movement, with 5000 carpenters out
and placing other trades in such a pecu-
liar position that 10000 members Of
other building organizations will soon
follow. The last and decisive meeting
that forces this struggle was held late
last night, when the master builders
association met and decided positively
not to grant the carpenters demand for
cents per hour.
AS decided upon by the carpenters,
5000 of them quit work for their de-
mand. The action of the master build
ers in deciding to do actually nothing
in regard to the other building organi-
zation, placed the latter in a queer posi-
ton. In order to back up the carpen-
tiers the. other building trades had de-
cided to strike for eight hours per day,
providing only that the master builders
locked the carpenters out If they did
not lock the carpenters out, the other
members were simply to ask for GER
tain local adjustments and fair aver
age of wages, ignoring entirely the
eight hour day.
Last night the master builders con-
cluded they will not lock ont the car
penters, and the result will be that TO-
600 men, comprising stoncmasons, roof
ers. marble cutters. planning mill men.
ETC., will work on present contracts un-
til they have gone as far as they can
without the carpenters, when they will
find themselves out of q job-not locked
out
The master builders were q unit in
coming to this agreement and say they
have done this to protect master build
ers in other cities, and other builders
trades outside of carpenters could not
have a pretext for striking for, eight
hours and thus causing the movement
to spread.
The bricklaycrs, numbering 200, are
also brought into the fight owing to a
wages of $50 per day, the masters hav-
ing decided to pay uniform rates of but
81 per day.
The pfasterers, another independent
organization, will also be forced into
idleness as soon as they have completed
their work to where the carpenters left
off.
Altogether it is likely that more than
$4,000. comprising all the buildings
within a radius of twelve miles of this
city. will be idle as a result of the
move. The building trades, being by
all odds the most complete organization
in this section. will go out almost to a
man and say they will remain out
On the other hand the master build
ers say they have had ample warning
and have their contracts in such shape
they can lie idle all summer, but one
firm. the Ballinger Bros, of Philadel-
phia, willing to grant the eight-hour
movement, are unable to do so. This
firm is building the Davis calvin JOS
lyn) theater and master builders have
SO tied all material they cannot go on
with the work.
Reports from McKeesport and Brad
dock and other surrounding towns say
carpenters are generally striking for
