Makes Trouble in Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. Reconstruction
work on millions of dollars worth of
buildings is at standetill. following a
strike of 1900 workmen The organ
ization of building contractors held
a conference and threatened to de-
clare general lockout unless the men
returned to work at once.
While the strikes were called NOM
inally in sympathy with the elevator
constructors, who are now on strike,
it is aimed more at Martin B. Madden
than at the employers. Several
months ago the union employees on the
Otis Elevator company's new elevator
struck. Madden agreed to furnish
union men to take their places and
his action was denounced as "strike-
breaking" tactics.
