Carpenters Refuse to Rntify y Settlement
Made by Their own Committee.
All negotiations for settlement between the
Carpenters Union and the Master Carpenters
Association were declared OF yesterday and
the strike will go on.
Tho master carpenters made q proposition
on Thursday to pay As cents IN hour. instead
OF 80 cents an hour. The union committee re-
jectod the offer. The same committee OF car
penters met the committee Of en- poyers again
at the Building Trades Club yesterday. The
union men proposed the following com promise:
Al cents an hour. the eight-hovr workday and
the Saturday half-holiday. The employers
committee accepted the conditions and an
agreement was prepared and signed on the
spot by both committees.
When the committee OF the carpenters re-
ported their action at the headquarters OF their
unions. a meeting was called and the agree
ment was repudiated The committee was
also denounced for coming to such an agree
ment and the following letter was sent to the
employers BY Secretary Walsh:
Il am instructed to communicate to your
honorable body the fact that no proposition
other than our demands and printed circular,
submitted for signature. oan be entertained by
tho Joint committee OF carpenters organi-
cations"
The employers sent reply to the effect that
as the committee OF tho carpenters themselves
made proposition. which they had agreed to.
the employers would stand by that PROPOSE
ton. 1t pointed out that the carpenters were
to blame for failure to agree. In a statement
later the employers charged the carpenters
with unfairness. since they had deliberately
broken an agreement made by their own COM
mittee.
committee Of sixty carpenters was ap-
pointed last evening to order strikes over
again on all the jobs OF the Master Carpenters
Association where the original demands have
not been granted
