In the Buildins Material Business
Most Of the members OF the Building Ma
teriai Dealers Association now believe that
the building strike against them is peterinR
out, though new strikes are ordered from
time to time. The housesmths. who were
among the frat trades to become involved In
the strikes before they were taken UP by the
Board OF Walking Delegates. had nearly all re-
turned to work yesterday and II Is believed
that a large number OF men In the other trades
are getting tired OF idleness.
Superintendent Cooper of the jackson Archi-
tectural Iron Works who is also Secretary OF
the Iron League. said yesterday:
The strike. SO far as we are concerned.
Is virtually at an end. The walking dele
gate OF the housesmths told the men to
90 back to their work. The entire series OF
strikes has been very disastrous to the work
ingmen. 1t is much within the figures to say
they havc lost from $500 900 to 100000. The
folly Of these strikes Is apparent to any one
who looks at the matter. There was no Ques-
ton Of wages involved. IT Is simply n Iues-
ton who shall conduct our business. We have
run our business ourselves right along. aud
we propose to keep on doing SO.
