LABOR TROUBLES
OVER PRUDENTIAL
WORK UNSETTLED
Dispute Between Unions About
Sympathetic Strike to Be
Carried to Washington.

The differences that exist among the
different building trades unions en-
ployed ON the new Prudential buildings
are to be laid before the building trades
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor at Washington, ID. c.
tonight by William L. Ryan, president
of the board Of business agents, and
John Cosgrove, president Of the State
Building Trades organization.
That action was decided upon at Il
meeting of the board of business
agents as the result Of the refusal o1
the District Council of Carpenters last
night to call their men off the work at
the request of the Operative Plasterers'
Independent Union, who desire to re-
place the brichlayers and masons en-
ployed on the work.
A special meeting of the Building
Trades Council will be held tomorrow
night to hear the report Messrs. Ryan
and CosgroVe are expected to return
by that time.
The present trouble in the building
trades unions is said to be the most
serious that has occurred in many
years. and it will necessitate the aid OF
a number of international presidents
before the situation is cleared up.
At the meeting of the District Coun.
Gil of Carpenters, last night. represen-
tatives of the Brickayers and Masons'
Union and of the Operative Plasterers'
organization were present, and eacn
side Told of their troubles over the con.
troll of the work.
The bricklayers and masons' argu-
ment appeared to appeal the more to
the carpenters, as it is said that n
unanimously agreed to support them
and decided to not call their men off
the Prudential buildings.
When tina decision became known to-
day at a meeting of the business agents,
it decided to refer the matter to the
Washington authorities and force the
carpenters to recognize the plasterers.
and if they do not then, it is said, the
carpenters are likely to be suspended
from the Building Trades Council. The
carpenters do not appear to be worry,
ing much over the situation, as they
say that no good reason has been adj
vanced so far TO cause them 10 recede
from the stand that they AVE taken.
The Carpenters and Bricklayers and
Masons' unions are the two largest or
CARNATIONS in the building trade move
ment, and while they are not affiliated
through the American Federation of
Labor, yet they are by the long-stand-
ing friendship that appears TO be
greater than the A. F. of L.
At present there are about ninety
carpenters employed on the Prudential
work, and they intend to remain until
they get orders to quit. The %organiza-
lions that are out in sympathy with
the operative plasterers are the plumb
ers. electricians, sheet metal workers
and the metallic fathers. All told, they
number about 215.
The bricklayers and masons are at
work. not paying much attention to the
trouble, as their international officers
are looking after their interests.

stored in the lots adjoining the shop.
The building and it's contents are al

OFFERS BIG SUM
TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.
National Association to
Profit by Sisters Death.

LONDON, April 15.-Waldorf Astor
has offered a sum of money, practically
unlimited. to the National Association
for the Prevention of Consumption,
which is making a scientific and we'll
organized effort to stamp out tubercu-
lous affections.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1910-04-15

Perhaps young Mr.. Astor was influ-
enced in his generous offer by the fact
that his Younger sister. Gwendoline,
died of consumption in September, 1902
when she was Q years old. The child
had suffered four years, and was kept
in retirement. Indeed, few except the
Astors and their friends knew of her
existence.
Miss Mary Paul, of Philadelphia,
married William Waldorf Aston in 1878,
and died in December, 1894, fourteen
months after Gwendoline's birth. One
of the most beautiful women in Phila-
delphia, she had an affection of the
lungs, and failed quickly after her
second daughter was born.

membership the entire board of direc-
