Gil at its meeting last night. The labor
unions are determined to see whether the
supreme court will uphold the injunction.
The statement was made at the meet
ing last night that the General Electric
company was at work on a plan to secure
the signatures of all its customers to con-
tracts to submit to having wirs inspected
by a company's inspector before lights
are put in. Heretofore the wires have
been inspected by city Inspector, but
under the new plan the company will be
able to condemn work which might other
wise be passed.
The unions say this will cause strike
of all electrical workers and If necessary
the Building Trades Council will be asked
to call out the men engaged in building
trades.
