CARPENTERS STRIKE IN BOSTON
A Concerted Movement to Secure
Eight. hour Day.

Boston, July ITO support demand
for eight hours work and 50 40 n day for
the carpenters who work in Boston,
Brookline and Cambridge, the Brother
hood OF Carpenters and Joners and the
4Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and
ioiners declared strike this morning
Just how many responded to the order
is not known, even to the United Carpen-
ters' Council which is vested with power
from the two constituent bodies to
manage this strike. Reports have not
come from all the districts affected by
the order and it was learned this morn
ing that no other notice has been served
upon the men than what appeared in the
newspapers.
The strike affects the Back Bay palace
Of Mrs. Jack Gardner. which has been
the scene of so many labor disputes during
the last season. The carpenters en-
ployed presented their demands, but the
contractors refused to grant the shorter
work day ana the men promptly walked
out.
This is the Boston carpenters second
attempt in about two years TO establish
uniform scale of wages for an eight
hour day. They struck less than two
years ago and We're defeated because they
did not at that time have the support OF
the Amalgamated Society. This time
they are a unit in their sslemant7s.
A member of the press committee an.
nonnced that so far as he could learn il
appeared that about 500 carpenters had
quit work. The unions which ordered
the strike have branches in Brookline

FEWER MEN AT WORK.
Idle Strikers are Drawing $1,000 a
Day from Central Labor Union.

Rochester, n. Y, July 2.-The strikers
did not parade yesterday. because of the
intense heat. They We're gratified to
hear that fewer men were ut work on
buildings than on Saturday and say this
is II point in their favor. 1t was said
by the contractors last Friday that on
Monday they could get all the men they
wanted, but today found them worse
off than last week Contributions are
pouring in from all the cities in the
State.
The laborers who would go to work
because they are in present need of the
money can get their regular days wages
by calling ut the Office of the Central
Labor Union, so they can get as much
by staying idle as they could by working.
Even the most obtuse are brought about
by this argument. 1t costs nearly $1,000
I day to keep this mp. The men are paid
1t 10 o'clock in the morning and 3 O'Clock
m the afternoon, in order to prevent
hose who are working from imposing on
the union by getting their pay in both
places.
The strikers now include 500 Germans
md $50 Italians. There are only fifty
Americans in the lot There will he n

bands.
