ORDERED
BY BRICKLAYERS
Applies to Buildings Where
Non-Union Brick and
Stone Men Work.
Not Yet in Actual Opera
ton, Investigation To-
day Shows

The members Of Local Union No. ,,
International Bricklayers and Stone
masons' Union. decided last night TO
strike on every building in the District
on which non-Gnion bricklayers and
stonemasons are employed and also
strike every stone yard OF every con-
tractor supplying stone for buildings
where non-union members OF these two
crafts are engaged.
This decision was reached at a meet
ing held in Costello's Hall that lasted
several hours. The decision TO strike
only applies 10 buildings where non
union bricklayer5 and stOnemasOns are
employed, and does not take in such
buildings whore nOn-uniOn mep are en-
plOyed in the other lines represented Dy
tho building trades. The strike decision
was not made general by reason of the
fact that It has Tot been finally decided
whether the bricklayers and stone
maEOnS, by reason Of their contract
with the master bricklayers, can par
ticipate in the strike Of the Building
Trades Mechanics Council.
While this action was taken last night,
inquiry at la Dor headquarters failed TO
show that il has been put in actual
operation against any OF the buildings
where non-union briCklayers and stone
masons are employed.
At the headquarters OF the Employers
Association II was stated by Mr.. Rich
ardson. In charge OF operations OF that
association, that he did not believe that
even II the decision 10 strike was made
operative that IL would effect any MEM
Der OF the Master Builders or Employ
ers' Association, as the men who would
go on strike would be the stonemasons
and not briclIlayers. He said that pos
sibly II might effect the work OF Harry
Wardman. He said that as he under
stood il, Bairstowe. who has work or
the Union Trust Company building at
carving work and had nothing to do
with stonemasOns' work or stone.
