Big STRIKE BRE WING.
Workmen Connected with Build
ing Trades May Stop Sept l.
Contractors, Builders and Architects
Have Been Notified.
Object to Material Furnished by
Cheap Suburban Labor.

1t Is probable that one Of the greatest
strikes this city has ever witnessed will
be inaugurated on Sept. /.
The Building Trades Conference ap-
pealed some time ago to the Board of
Walking Delegates to take some steps
looking towards the abolition OF the
tractors Of employing materials pro-
duced by cheap or convict labor. The
Board investigated the complaint, and
last March gave notice to architects,
builders and contractors that II the
practice of employing the materials in
question was continued after Sept. / of
this year. strikes would be authorized
on every building affected.
Many contractors signitied their inten-
ton of complying with the Boards de-
mand. but the great majority failed
even to reply to it. Yesterday the Board
of Walking Delegates again took the
subject under advisement, and unani-
mously adopted the resolution to order
strikes as indicated in the notice of last
March This resolution will go into ef-
feet OIL Sept
Accordingly. on and after that date
any walking delegate is empowered to
order strike without any further for
mality on any building where the OBJ
jectionable material Is employed.
President Bausch. of the Building
Trades Conference. and who Is also Sec
rotary OF the Board of Walking Dele
gates, told an Evening World" reporter
this morning that the practice of bring
Ing In material from rural districts
where labor Is cheap, has the inevitable
tendency of driving laborers away from
the metropolis.
"Workingmen who are compelled to
pay high rents here" he said, cannot
possibly hope to compete with suburban
laborers. whose living expenses are I'M
measureably cheaper. And as for COM
peting with convict labor, 1t Is entirely
out Of the question. Contractors, after
all. gain but very little BY employing
material turned out by such labor. while
to the New York workingmen the loss
'"rhe Board of Walking Delegates
has therefore concluded that the only
way to check the evil. Is by declaring
strike against every contractor who
uses the obnoxious material on any Of
his buildings"
There is strike at the new church
on Seventy sixth street. between Third
and Lexington avenues. The stair
builders have quit work there on ac-
count Of the employment Of some cabi-
net-makers to do stair work. 1t Is a
standing rule that union workingmen
engaged in one class of work shall not
do the work peculiar to another class
The shareholders alllege that the Cabi-
net-makers have violated this rule.
