LATHERS WILL STRIKE,
They Want Sixteen Cents Per Bundle,
But Thirteen aud Fourteen Cents
Are Now Paid.

The strike of the Scranton Lathers'
union begins this morning. Its object
is to increase their wages from thir-
teen and fourteen to sixteen cents per
bundle of lath. The lower figures are
now paid by lath sub-contractors, boss
plasterers and some contractors. Six
teen cents is the standard wage rate,
according to the claims of the union.
At meeting of the union in HUI
bert's hall, Friday night, 1t was de-
cided to strike, and resolution to that
effect was adopted. subcommittee
of three members each were appointed
to see that no union men broke faith
and to watch the progress of lath work
now under way on the larger jobs
about the city. Albert Drake, presi-
dent of the union, was made master Of
the strike. The union numbers about
fifty men and they are considered the
best workmen in the city at their par
ticular trade.
A fact which indicates that the strike
may not be wholly successful is the
failure of the fathers to secure the CO.
operation of other and allied trades
unions. That is usually done when
movement like the present one is con-
templated. The Building Trades coun-
Gil, which Is made up of five members
from each of the local labor unions,
met Monday evening, July 26, two
weeks ago. At that meeting the strike
question was not even mentioned and
not a lather was present.
1t is claimed by the fathers that up
to few years ago they were paid as
high as eighteen and twenty cents per
bundle, but that the rate fell below the
finally adopted standard of sixteen
cents. Boss plasterers, they claim, who
let the lathing part of their jobs to
lath sub-contractors, are responsible
for further cuts until the present low
rate of thirteen and fourteen cents
makes an average reduction of thirty
cents per day in wages.
Members of allied building trades do
not view with much seriousness the
threatened strike. They say 1t cannot
cripple the work now in hand without
the, at least, moral support of allied
unions. 1t is believed further that the
strike has not been authorized by ma
tional officers.
President Drake, of the Lathers'
union, said to a Tribune reporter last
| night: I'VE have secured at least the
moral support of the Plasterers and
| the Carpenters unions and feel certain
| of success. There are no big jobs that
| will be affected by the strike, which
will positively begin tomorrow morn
ing"
