line May 1 unless a demand for a
new wage schedule is granted before
that date. Men to the number Of
about 26,00c will be involved. The
s..ta--s.ands arg iola Is cents for rock
men, with 80 cents an hour for over
time, and 20 cents an hour for eX-
cavatcrs. Notice of the desired change

months ago, but no reply has been

beaten. Their union was broken up
then, but has been reorganized on
new lines and it's officials declare they
have now no fear of failure to enforce
the demand.
