When questioned concerning his
opinion of the building trades outlook
as affected by the talk of a strike by
the unions affiliated with the Building
Trades council, Il prominent architect
of this city made the following reply:
THE outlook is not encouraging, oN-
ing to the fact that many persons who
intend building are delaying the mat
ter. This delay is due to the uncer-
tainty of what the result of the ex-
pected trouble between the contractors
and Carpenters union will be after
June / next"
