M|LLMEN To ASK
FOR MORE PAY.
Unless Employers Accede to
Their Demand a Strike
Is Likely to Follow

At meeting of the District Council
of Carpenters held yesterday afternoon
the mfIlmen, one of the aHliated unions
decided to ask for nm increase of 81 n
day I'm wages, the new schedule to take
effect October 8.
What action the employers will take
is not known, but it is hoped by the
mands will be granted and a strike
averted. 1t was reported last night
that the employers would grant the
raise, but several prominent mill own
ers said they had heard nothing OF It..
All hope of a peaceful settlement of
the trouble between the Mill Owners
Association of Alameda County and the
members of Oaklapd No. $50 of the
Millmen's Union was abandoned yes
terday afternoon at a meeting of the
union, at which the members voted
unanimously to walk out this morning
unless the increase in wages demanded
is granted President C.. L. Ingler of
the Mill Owners Association declared
last night that. the members of the as
sociation were determined to stand
firm and that IL the men struck every
mill in this city would be closed
The mill owners are backed in their
position by the Employers and Con-
tractors Association of Alameda Coun-
~ with which are aff1liated nearly all
the employers associations whose
members are engaged in the building
industry.
For three hours yesterday afternoon
the members OF the Oakland Millmen's
Union discussed the situation and when
a vote was taken the proposal to en-
force the demand for an increase OF 25
per cent In wages was unanimously
adonted Before adjourning the mem
nil vnfa6 n i'm q
sne of $50 on any member who re-
turned to work after the strike is
called until the mill owners grant their
demand.
G. r. Elder, acting business agent of
the building Trades Council of Ala
media County, in discussing the situa-
tion said:
"The one remaining hope of avoid
ing a tie-up of the mills in Oakland
mill owners, who, / am informed, have
signed an agreement with the San
Francisco Building Trades Council to
grant an advance of 81 a day in wages
in the mills Should the Oakland mill
owners, in view Of this fact, recede
from their position, and grant the adj
vance demanded by the union, there
will be no trouble.
Regarding the reported agreement
of the mill owners and the Building
Trades Council of this city. President
Inrler of the Oakland Associa Ion said
last night:
II can say almost positively that no
such agreement has been signed by
the mill owners of San Francisco, as I
would be one of the first to be In
formed of such action. Even should
such an agreement be reached 1t would
not Immediately affect conditions in
Oakland. as we have taken our stand
and intend to fight it out along the
lines laid down. We will grant an i'm
mediate increase OF twelve and one
half per cent, and later. II conditions
warrant, will grant the full increase
demanded"

wind was light. hardly more than eight

making the shores OF the Atlantic the
