OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR BUSY SEASON
IN LABOR CIRCLES
No Trouble Expected in. Renewal
OF Working Agreements
That Expire Soon.

Du1ldlng trade is SAID 10 ne the DeS'
that this city has seen in several years
and little or no trouble of any kline
is anticipated by labor organizations
in the renewal of agreements witt
contractors in fegards to hours OF
wages. Among the labor unions whose
agreements expire May ! is that OF
the carpenters, and they expect that
the wage rate, which has been SO cents
an hour, will not meet with any objec-
lions on the part of the bosses. For q
year or so, owing to the lack of work
the 50-cent an hour scale has not beer
lived up to in every instance by tbs
bosses, but the matter was overlooked
BY the carpenters owing to conditions
which could not be helped, but they
will insist on it this year.
The question of sending out notices
for new agreements, to take effect May

the District Council of Carpenters to-
morrow night. Albert r. Wyatt, one of
the business agents of the council. said
today that his organization would in
sist that the new agreements shall be
o renewal of the old one in its entirety.
But | have not heard of any objec-
lions from the employers said Mr..
Wyatt. "as to any of the provisions of
the old agreement. and 7 think we will
not have any trouble. The new agree
ments will be sent out in a few days
by my organization"
