LATEST
ANGLE IN
TANGLE

That some of the Hammond building
contractors will attempt to force an
issue in the near future on the question
as to whether reputable Sbuildingxersfts;
will stand by the Finneran -Car1nody
Connors electricians, In other words
accept the open shop principle as far
as the electricians are concerned, was
a report given out in the business dis
trict on good authority today.
This same question has precipitated
strike on the residence of ]. Wesley
Reed one OF the big contractors in
Hammond. Because he was the gen
eral contractor on the Lock-Mar flats
now under construction Waltham
street. the plasterers went out last
week despite the fact that the plaster
work had been sub constructed. After a
conference among the plasterers last
Saturday however, they decided to go
, back to work and did in fact this
morning.
Work on Reeds residence on the
Ridge road was not resumed today. but
Mr.. Reed was told by a union lather
| that they woulo begin tomorrow morn
ing. His source of information how
ever was not official. Mr.. Reed said
that overtures had been made to him
according to which, he was to let the
balance of the electrical work to the
unions men of local 571, and that such
a course would allay any trouble for
| him in the future.
| Mr.. Reed refused to commit himseli
on this question, and explained to d
TIMES reporter this morning that he
had taken the stand because of the
self to be placed before the public as
principle involved in it, and that be
| cause of this he would not permit him
having made any concessions
