45O MEN
NOW OUT ON
STRIKE

There have been no new developments
In the strike OF the building trades
iaborers since the additional $50 men quit
work on Saturday. There are now about
$50 men out on strike. and the business is
rather badly tied up.
Owing TO the fact that there are a
number OF men working who are not
members OF the union. the tieup of the
work has not been as complete as has
been the case with other strikes, but the
results have far exceeded the expecta-
lions and hopes OF the officers Of the two
unions.
The men who Quit work have been
meeting morning and afternoon at the
headquarters OF the union at Labor
temple and attending TO the reports OF the
committees that are being sent out.
One OF the features OF the strike that
may be remarked as differing from others
Sc that the officers intend. as soon as all
the men have reported 10 the union, 10
form committee 20 visit the several
large contractors and try 20 hold con-
serences with them 20 see II some settle
ment cannot be reached without delay
20 that the work OF the summer may con-
tinue without too much delay
1t is planned 20 do this a the first meet
Ing tomorrow. and they hope the en-
ployers will be willing 10 meet them In
abe spirlG in which they are seeking 10
confer with them. The men claim that
had the employers shown any considera-
aion for them the whole matter might
have been settled without the necessity Of
a strike. zs. &sxx
