Master BrickIayers Refuse Them an
crease IN Wages

Master Bricklayers Refuse Them an Iu-
crease Ia Wages.
The master brieklayers of Wilmington
met last evening to take action on the
demands of journeymen bricklsyers for
As cents an hour, instead of 40 cents
and of hod carriers for % cents an hour
instead Of 90 cents After lengthy dis
cussion 1t was decided TO make the dc
manded increase to the bricklayers, but
to refuse the bod carriers This was
done because the latter are not now
greatly needed, as their principal useful
ness is in mixing the mortar This is
now manufactured in Wilmington and
can be secured at very low rates The
hoisting of the material to the brick
layers can, it is alleged cas-
lily be done by unskilled
laborers and q derrick. A permanent
organization was effected and it was de
cided to charge So cents per hour for Jobs
done by jouraeymen bricklayers, which
gives only 10 cents an hour profit for
each man
Several master bTicklsyers were seen
this morning. They stated that the hod
carriers were nearly all at work and up
TO noon, no evidences of strike were
displayed. The hod- carriers. It is alleged,
were TO have shouldered their hods and
left work this morning, but this was
not done
James 7. Stewart, hod-carrier. says
that the reason why this was not dole is
because most of the master workmen
have consented and are actually paying
their hod-csrriers % cents an hour. The
number that met, he says, is very small,
and II thsy refuse to pay the men who be
long to the union 2S cents the latter will
bundle up and 60 The new system he
claims will not work as well as the old,
and in some instances where it had been
introduced it was quickly abandoned.
The hod carriers will not work he says
for 25 cents when they can get 80 in
Philadelphia. but there will be no strike.
