THOUSANDS OF
WORKMEN IDLE
Building Operations in Phil.
adeIphia Tied Up Because
of Difference With Union

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 3.-More than
SiS,OoO,OOo in Improvements, and work on
every building operation in the city is at
a standstill to-day as result of fruit
less conferences of employers with brick
layers and stone masons unions over a
division of work. By order of the master
bricklayers 4,400 journeymen brioklayers
and stone masons are forced into idleness
and $1,000 mechanics of other building
trades will lose their work and suffer as
a result of the failure of the bosses and
worl1men TO come to an agreement
To the last the bosses left the way open
for the men to avoid the struggle by re-
turning to work on those buildings upon
which strikes have been ordered against
the granite cutters union. But the leaders
of the bncklayors and masons persisted
in characterizing the masters ultimatum
as a 'bluf" and even threatened 10 ex-
tend their strike TO more buildings in the
event of no lockout being ordered.
Then the employers who say their work
has been retarded for three years by the
internal dispute among the unions of the
stone trades declared that their patience
had become exhausted and promptly at
four p. m. yesterday began paying on
their men.
