Mechanics in All Building
Operations May Go Out
May
WILL CRIPPLE THE BIG INDUSTRIES

Last Days Work on Thursday.
Spirit Of Unrest Pervades All the Big
Plants.
That there will be enc of the biggest
strikes the city has ever experienced on
the nrst Of May seems inevitable.
An bunding operations viii probably
cease at that time as trades affected Will
include the carpenters. woodworkers brick
layers, masons. hod ca riers. plumbers and
their helpers. There is a sentiment Of un-
rest among the men and the grumblings
are becoming more pronounced each day.
In the tig manufacturing plants there is
much dissatisfaction expressed and in the
event of the strike they will have TO close
their doors. Walking delegates are daily
among the men at noon hour and liter
ature Is passed among them. They all re-
fuse to talk on the matter hut from gem
eral appearances Il IS plain TO see there Is
something out OF the ordinary going on.
The trades In Philadelphia win strike on
the first Of May and as most of the labor
organizations are affiliated with the Phila-
delphia societies there seems 70 be no
doubt they viii follow the leadership OF
their Pennsylvania brothers. Another rea-
son Is uhat the mechanics here do not re-
coive as much money as their fellow la
borcrs in other cities and this point has
been dealt upon no some length by those
behind the movement.
Men from other cities have been here
trying TO induce locai mechanics TO go
away Two OF these men were forchiy ex-
tricatod from ono OF The largest works in
the city last week.
In the event OF a strike it win mean
thousands OF men out Of employment and
shutang down OF all the principal indus
tries Of the city to say nothing of the
carpenters bricklayers and masons who
are employed by contractors.
