One strike in the building trades is
positively decided to take place on

hour over the scale OF IS cents. In
this demand the plasters have decided
to stand firmly by their tenders. The
bosses have been equally firm in re-
fusing to grant the increase and this
morning about eighty-tive plasterers
and their tenders are expected to
throw down their trowels and mortar
boards and quit work AS result
several new buildings which are near
ing completion will have to wait until

stock Of the North American company
which the larger organization is anx-
ious to control. 1t now holds a large
interest and seeks to increase it. Ed.
J. Nally, general superintendent of
the Postal Telegraph company with
headquarters at Chicago, was present
at the meeting, but it is denied this
has any significance, for it was ex-
planned that Mr.. Nally is a director of
the North American system. H. A.

American company, says that his &C.
ceptance of the position of general SUI
perintendent of the 500 telegraph
lines will not effect his connection
with the North American company,
and he will remain as general man
ager.
