FIFTEEN THOUSAND STRIKERS;
The Most Determined Fight in tho His
tory of the New York Building
Trades,

Never in the history OF labor unions con.
nected with the building trades of New York
City has n fight more general or more de-
termned than that which is now being
waged by the board of walking delegates in
the interests of the Building drivers and
Handlers union, taken place. On account
Of II over 5000 me" quit work at various
times during the last few months. Some
have been successful in obtaining employ
ment in other places, but those are in the
minority. 1t would not be an overestima,e
TO say there are fully II, 900 men idle on ac--
count Of the struggle.
The fight commenced originally through
an attempt of the Iron league 10 disrupt tho
Housesmiths union, The union house,
smiths were locked out and being beaten,
applied 10 the Federated building trades for
assistance II was quickly given and tie-ups,
were ordered in large number OF buildings
In course Of erection throughout the city for
which the iron firm of J. Il, IL ]. NJ. Cornell
and the Jackson Architectural iron works
held contracts. These firms are the head Of
the Iron league.
The building material dealers Of the city
who were Informed that no building ma
teral would be permitted 10 be supplied to.
the black listed buildings, strenuously OBJ
jected and said they would not recognize
the order Of the board. The fight with the
Iron league was none of their quarrel and
they were in the business to make money.
The drivers then refused TO handle build
ing material for use upon the boycotted
buildings, and the dealers in the city in re-
taliation started new organization Of driy-
ers and handlers.
This action enlarged the scope of the fight.
The Federated union made the cause of the
drivers and handlers their own and boycott
ted the yards of the members Of the dealers
association. As a result, every building TO
which material was sent from these yards
was ordered to be tied up and business in.
