WORKED AS SCABS
Local Bricklayers' Union
Considers an Interest
ing Question.
CASES OF APPRENTICES
Two Young Men After Loaf
ing for a Week Took
"Unfair" Work.
CASES OF APPRENTICES

If a union apprentice gets out Of
work and is offered job as a scab la
borer, does his acceptance mean that
the union will have nothing further to
do with him? This was the question up
before the Bricklayers' union at their
bi-monthly meeting last night in the
case Of Munturiel Donllnick and Louis
Fusco
Both fellows were working for Vel
ente Furst, q contractor, some three
weeks ago, having three months more
apprenticeship to serve AT that time
Furst was having trouble getting
enough help and hired a gang of non
union men to do some piasterlng in a
house on Wooster street. His union
force of bricklayers working on Grand
avenue for him made a big kick, and
the matter was discussed at a union
meeting. 1t was then the two appren-
tices, Dominick and Fusco left their
jobs.
For a week they loafed around, fin
ally getting a three-day job as scab
laborers. Coming up before the meet
ing last night there was considerable
hot talk on the subject Of letting them
join the union. There was a strong
sentiment against recognizing the
young apprentices. The action taken
was not given out.

that out of total Of 800 births re-
