4 DIRECT BLOW AT
CENTRAL LABOR UNION
Action of Master Builders
So Construed.
Believed That Purpose in Increasing
Carpenters Wages Is to Weaken
Their Allegiance to Union

The action of the master builders in
voluntarily increasing the wsges of
carpenters in their employ to S3Z5
day was received with varying emo
tions il building trade circles today.
Among the union men there is some
thing Of a feeling Of uneasiness as to
the Interior purpose Of the Builders
Association, as but little doubt is en-
-ertained that one Of the purposes in
mind was a blow at the Brotherhood
Of Carpenters and the Central Labor
Union.
Although the lockout of those men
who are affiliated with the Central La
Dor Union has been temporarily sus-
pended. and there is no immediate
prospect of its renewal. there is no Sc
eret of the fact that the discord which
existed prior to the lockout has been
but aggravated by it. and that those
members OF the Central Labor Union
bodies are but awaiting their time.
when they VIII make a demonstration
against their employers
For some time past the contractors
nave never hiloMA "4ltu 1iVi dAu-t VIA L
pTetext, the men would be called from
the buildings which they were con
structing. and this element of uncer-
tainty has so inteTfeTed with their work
and upset their calculations that they
have determined 10 bring it to an end, If
possible
The advance in the wages Of the car
penters IS not only in recognition of the
increased cost Of living. but with the
primary object Of shaking the alIegi-
ance Of the men TO the Central Labor
Union and the Brotherhood Of Carpen-
teTs What Tetaliatory measures viii
be adopted by those bodies, II any. Will
not be known until after they have
given the matter their official consid-

under the impression it would be but q
siE weeks affair, like that of 1900, and
that the operators would make some
slight concessions and the men would

many Of their customers. and also keep
ing up the orders for summer and fall
goods Now, however, that the letters
OF the operators define in such decided
terms their position and make it appar-
eut that theT wiz not bulge from the
stand they have taken, the business men
are Convinced that the strike viii be a
