UNION SYMPATHY WEAK
Assistance Strikes Too Many, Sag
G. f. u. Delegates.

It seemed evident at yesterdays meeting OF the
Central Federated Union thai some of the dele
gates believe that the sympathetic strike business
is being overdone Protests were made oy Two
unions against a sympathetic strike In behalf OF
PAYERS 1t came up In the report of Thomas ROCK
OF the PAYERS and Hammers Union, that members
OF his organization were on strike for union con-
ditions on many contracts of the Asphalt Construc-
ton Company
He asked that the engineers, granite cutters ana
bluestone cutters give aid when called for, which
would mean that they would strike in sympathy.
you didn't mention the asphalt workers. said
Wallace a negro delegate of the Asphalt workers
Union.
TT was an oversight said Rock. II have no de-
sire to slight the asphalt workers
What good can It do TO throw people VINO nave
no quarrel idle in the face of the winter. causing
great distress and hardship to their familiesT said
Wallace There three hundred or four hun
dred men out now. and I suppose as many more Will
be out soon IN a week two the frost will set In,
and then the asphalt workers will have nothing
TO do"
Charles Delaney. of the granite cutters said that
he was opposed the practice of ordering syrnpa-
thetic strikes on every possible pretext. He said:
There has been too much of this sympathetic
strike business The time to ask for assistance OF
this kind is before the original Strike IS ordered
Wallace made another protest, and a committee
was then appointed to settle the trouble
before anything else was done.
