BRICKLAYERS MAY
RENEW CONTROVERSY
Inability to Settle Difficulties of Last
Year Still Cause of Dis
cuSsion

The controversy between brlcklayers
and building contractors, which was
quoted last May, threatens TO arise
again, according to local bricklayers, If
their demands for Increased wages arc
not considered for the year 1914.
In December, 1912, according to C..
u. Banks, closely affiliated with the
bricklayers union, the scale was placed
at so cents an hour. On May |, 1913,
the building contractors passed a reso-
luton reverting the scale for BRICK
layers to the 1912 schedule of 5000 a
day. This resolution caused the con-
trovcrsy
1t is the general belief that the
builders Will meet an increase for the
brick masons if prospects for building
for the year justify it. The brick
layers decided at a recent union meet.
ing that no union bricklayers should
work for less than S6,40 for eight hours
during the present year.
