HEALEY BUILDING
STRIKE At CRISIS
Superintendent Collins Declares

Defiance Of the labor unions was
uttered Friday morning by Superin-
tendent Collins, of the Healey Build
ing, when he declared that hereafter
the construction work on the new
skyscraper will be an open job" and
that any man who applies will be put
to work if there is an opening
whether he is a union or non union
man.
The first step in the warfare against
the unions was taken Friday when
fifteen non union carpenters were
employed in the places Of the men
who went on strike Thursday.
I'VE shave tried to deal with the
unions" said superintendent Collins,
but we have done with them now.
They came to US in a committee ana
declared that they would make the
Healey job either an open or a
closed job, and they've made an open
Job of II
I've talked with Mr.. Healey and
Mr.. Morgan and others interested in
the construction Of the building, and
they agree with me that 1t is time to
break all negotiations with the union
and employ non-union men. Here
after this will be an open job. 1t
won't matter to US whether the men
eyed heard of the unions or not"
Mr. Collins declared the work was
not being hindered to any marked
extent by the strike, The trouble
originated when non union painter
was put to work on the building by a
subcontractor. The union painters
went out on strike Tuesday, followed
by two engineers, a number of plumb
ers and bricqlayers, and the employees
