TH K STRIKE


 Among the workmen at the manual
 Training school.
 The strike among the mssons at the new Boardman manual training school build ing which Is in process of erection at the corner of Broadwsy and York square, was caused by opposition to the employment of two colored men, Jesse and Peter Black. The two have been employed as laborers aince the work on the building commenced and they have been the objects of dislike on the part of the other hod carriers, pri- marily because they were non-union men and incidentally because they were col ored. The union men have been endeav- oring to convert their black brothers to the dogmas of unionism for some time and to induce them to join the order. This they have promised to do from time to time but have never done 50.
 A committee from the union laborers finally brought the matter to focus by asking them if they would or would not join the union, and the refractory colored requested the contractors, D. G & A. I. Carmichael, to discharge the two men.
 When work was commenced yesterday morning 1t is said by some that the de- sire of the union was communicated to the contractors, and they refused to do ss re- qusated. Others deny that the Hessrs. Carmichael were informed of the trouble at all. At any rate about 6:80 o'clock the la- borers dropped their hods and told the bsssss that they would work no longer un- less the two blacks were discharged. Don- ~1I n nlahn $,1I not cars to 20 to work they could leave. They immediately left and were followed . few minutes later by the twelve masons at work, making about thirty five in all who went out.
 The men were all paid of and told that they need not return. They hung around the building all morning. About 10:80 one of the Carmiohasl brothers informed the men that they could return to work in the afternoon. It appeared thst the two colored men had been discharged.
