ELECTRICAL WORKERS DEMANDS.
PROSPECT OF BIG STRIKE IN THE BoiHO
ING TRADES IF THE CONTRACTORS
DO NOT ACCEDE

SERIOUS trouble Is threatened in the buliuii's
trades on January because Of the demands ""'S
the Electrical Workers Union has made on ',.0
contractors The union demands that after Janu-
airy all electrical workers shall be paid " j ia.
for eight hours work The prevailing sca'e -
wages is now 50 day for eight hours work. i nc
demands are directed against the Electrical con.
tractors Association. composed Of twenty-nve VI
the principal electrical firms in the city lh.'o
firms do nearly all the electrical work In the o.e
buildings. There are about one thousand men ~
the Electrical Workers Union, and II the threat

be considered such serious affair. but it Is leareu
that II the strike does come the men OF other Ou'o

consequence the men carry out their threat at,u

ten thousand men may become, involved; II III IL
more than that. The electrical workers deem the
demand Of the men for 81 a day unreasonable. and
the United Building Trades does also. The feeling
among the members OF the latter organization Is
that IL the demands Of the electrical workers were

II was reported yesterday that delegates or the

not making preparations for ordering big strike.
