DERRICK
ENGINEERS
ON STRIKE

Another strike in the building trades
Of the city was inaugurated this morn
ing when the derrick engineers struck 10
compel a continuance OF the wages that
had been paid them for the signing of
the agreement for another year.
The matter has been agitating the
minds OF the officers and the mer of
the union for several weeks, beginning
when the employers throughout the city
cut the wages right in the midst OF a
heavy season OF work.
The men say that had the cut como
when work was slack or the business fail
ing of there might have been some other
arrangement made, but when they are
working fun time and harder than at
ary other season OF the year the cat
seemed 10 them decidedly unjust.
During the past three weeks there have
been several special meetings, during
which the cut and the attempts made 10
have the question adjusted have been
discussed Several committees have been
employed 10 confer with the masters, but
20 no vail so there was nothing left for
the men to do but 70 strike.
Accordingly. the men quit work this
morning and repaired to their hall at ll3
Eddy street, where a meeting was held.
Shortly aftor the men gathered at the
hall a committee was appointed to meet
some of the masters, and II Is thought
the strike will last but a few days The
men feel that the masters refused 10 re-
store the scale UP 10 this time, thinking
that the men would be willing 10 work
for the new wages and as soon as they
ali know that the strike is on they will
be willing TO restore the old scale and
sign the agreement.
The work or the houses and buildings
ot the city Is all tied up at present, so
far as hoisting any material is concerned,
and all the men, about 45. are at the hail
OF the union. This was one or the most
thoroughly organized crafts In the city.
