Report on Building Trades Situation

Secretary James McIver of the building
trades grievance committee in his report
on the building trades situation in the
District for the week ending today, says
that at no time since the open shop
controversy has been on have the labor
people been doing so much effective work
as now. The assaults of the Employers
Association seem to have acted as a tonic
for the unionistS and awakened an energy
that has made them all alert In looking
after the welfare of all the trades.
Mr.. McIver's report shows that con
tractors and those contemplating building
are agreeing to insert the union labor
clause in contracts at a ratio of 20 to
against, and this showing includes some
of the proposed large buildings of the
city.
He says "unionism is here to stay and
no power on earth can destroy 1t. 1t is
right and right will rule"
