ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
Want Union to Control Acade-
my Work.

An effort is being made by the Mr..
w. G.. Worley, representative OF the
Baltimore Union to organize local
union of the Inside Electrical Work
ers i'm Annapolis. The special object
of the formation of the local union is
to put the electrical wiring of the new
buildings at the Naval Academy under
union control Most of this work is
being done by the firm of Wolfang q
Westervelt. Of New York and An
napolis. Mr. Westervelt. of the firm,
has notified the representative OF the
union that his company in no way OPP
poses the formation of local union.
There has been, however, some disa-
greement over the conditions which
will govern the employment of the
local men with the firm, but the set
Element of this question has been de-
ferred until the formation of the local
union, which has the right to settle
questions such as these. Messrs. VOL
fang & Westervelt have in their EN-
ploy number of Annapolitans who
have not mastered all lines of electri-
cal work vet, and who are very prof.
cient in the particular part of it need
ed in the Academy work. The firm
holds that the requirements of the
union should be somewhat liberal to-
wards these men in order that he
should not be compelled to discharge
them or to hire far larger number
of men than his work requires in
order to keep them employed. For
that reason the contractors hold that
two or three of his best men should be
taken into the union as journeymen
and others as helpers.
Such concessions are generally made
by unions when forming new local
branch in order to meet the condi-
tions of the particular community. 1t
is likely that the contention will be
arranged on a mutually satisfactory
basis.
