trades employed in the construction of the new

hundred men will follow to-day. Those who
went out principally electricians, granite cut
ters and steam filters helpers. number OF
laborers also went out, causing a suspension OF
work on the part Of the bricklayers.
The primary cause OF the strike is the employ
mcnt by the George a. Fuller Company. the con-
tractors OF electricians OF both the Electrical Con-
structors' Union. which is a part of the Building
Trades Council and Of the Electrical Union, which
Is affiliated with the board of delegates. The Flee
