PLASTERERS OUT.
Big Building Trades Strike InauGu-
rated at Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 6.-Every union
rlasterer and hod carrier in Chicago
went on strike at 4:30 .. m. today
with the intention of remaining out I'M
til the bosses agree to pay the old
wage scale of $3.50 day for plasterers
and 1920 for hOd carriers Business
agents from the unions visited every
building in course of construction and
ordered the men not to go to work on
Monday, but to report to one of their
rumber in the vicinity and act as
pickets about the buildings and see
that no nOn-union men are employed
tC fill their places.
At a special meeting of the officials
of the unions involved it was decided
tonight not to call out the other trades
unless the contractors attempted to
employ non-union plasterers or nod
carriers. If such attempt is made the
building and trades council will order
a general strike of all building trades.
Several boss plasterers called on the
strike officials today and signified their
willingness to pay the old scale The
strike officers are confident that the
strike will be of short duration
