Want Hieher WAGES.

Muskoeee, !. r., Nov. 20.-The en-
tire bricldaying force here has gone
on a strike and It may cause the sus-
pension of building until men to fiji
the strikers places can be imported.
AS there are over half a dozen large
structures in the course of erect ion,
the strike of the bricklayers may at
least cause temporary inconvenience
The reason given by the bricklayers
for striking is that the stone masons
employed here are non-union men and
with this proposition several men, di-
recting aGairs for the bricklayers, ap-
pealed to the carpenters to go out on
sympathetic strike The carpenters,
however, refused to do so. as they had
investigated the charter under which
the stone masons claim to be union
men and found it to be satisfactory
The brick masons themselves have
no local union here and it is said had
an ulterior motive in striking They
receive so cents an hour as wages,
but for some time have said they
should get IS cents an hour. The
stone rnasons. when they formed their
local union nearly two years ago, did
so with the understanding from the
employers that they should receive
As cents an hour, and this has been
allowed.
When the brick masons appealed to
them TO strike for a raise. several
weeks ago they refused to do so, as
they claimed they were getting all
they had asked for and were salts
ned. In the hope of forcing some sort
OF an agreement with them, it is said
the brick masons decided on their
present action,
