"My Dear Mr.. Puzzle Editor:
tried to work out this, and hope it is
correct. 1 did it by myself. In ref
erence to the little children getting
help l think it is perfectly right that
they should. The army is decreasing
very rapidly and perhaps if the little
girl will take interest it will bring
more into the army, because the large
ones will feel jealous of the little
one. Yours truly,
Ida Lee Riley"

cided that the master plumbers nad a
right TO employ non-union men, that the
unions in the other trades had no right
to strike in order TO force the employ
ment of union men, and that the men

THE decision was rendered on May

they must support those employers
whose jobs had been struck. and must
take some stand for their rights as de-
lined by the three arbitrations.

The Building Trades Alliance has
shown no disposition TO meet the situa-
ton by receding from it's unfair posi-
ton, but on the other hand threatens
10 call out all the trades in the city and
precipitate n general fight unless the
contractors shall discharge ali non
union men, including the plumbers, and
replace them with union men, or, in
other words, unless they shall surren-
der their common law right TO employ
whom they please and their rights as
defined by the arbitrator5. and shall
surrender 10 the unions of the city the
complete and absolute control of the
building industry. after the unions have
shown themselves unworthy TO be dealt
with by violating the awards of three
arbitrators.''

That 46 per cent less building is
in progress in Washington today than a
year ago, and that this enormous de-
crease is directly chargeable to the de-
creased cost of building construction is
the tenor Of a letter which is being sent out
today by the Employers Association of
the Building Trades, in which the en-
ployers' side in the existing troubles
with the union men is set forth.
This letter, which is addressed to the
owners Of property IN the District,
charges that the unions have a practical
monopoly Of the labor market in Wash
ington, and that this monopoly has re-
suited in the adoption of n policy OF
getting as great a return as possible
for as little as possible.
Number of Apprentices Less
''The number of apprentices allowed to
learn a trade has been steadily de-
creased until there is a real scarcity OF
labor; in one trade the union has closed
it's books entirely and will not receive
new members; the policy Of restriction
of output has also been followed until
the workman does less than half the
work in a day that was the regular av-
erage eight or ten years ago." says the
letter.
In defense Of the Employers Associa-
TONS recent action in shutting down all
work being done by plasterers, metal
fathers, tile-layers. galvanized and or
namental iron workers, and hosting en-
gineers, the letter says:
About a year ago the Plumbers
Union demanded that the master plumb
ers of the city should discharge every
non-union man and employ union men
in their places. The matter was sub
mitted to arbitration, and the arbitrator
decided that the master plumbers had
the right to employ nOn-Union men If
they saw Mt. The Plumbers Union re-
fused 10 abide by this decision, and
began a fglt-
Secured Non-Union Men.
Many Of the plumbing shops in the
city secured non-union men. The other
building trades unions finally took the
matter up and demanded Of the Master
Builders Association that the master
plumbers be compelled TO discharge
their non-union men and employ union
men in spite Of the decision Of the arbi-
! traitor. A second arbitration was had,
and It was again decided that the mas
| ter plumbers might employ non-uniOn
men If they pleased Thereupon, in vio-
| lation of tlis second award, the Build
| ing Trades Alliance called a strike on
/ several jobs of plasterers, galvanized
/ iron workers, and tile settlers, the pUr-
! pose being TO compel the employment OF
union plumbers on these Jobs, and then
/ TO take up other jobs in succession.
until all the non-union plumbers in the
/ city had been forced out.
Arbitration of Oyster.
Before taking action to meet this
movement. the Employers Association
