Union Workers Differences
Still Unsettled in Orange

When the slate-setters working on
the new Lyric Theatre, Orange, COM
pleted their labors yesterday the car
penters, plumbers and masons who
went on strike earlier in the week be-
cause the men of the latter trade were
not allowed to set slate, returned to
the job. The slate-setters were deter
mined to carry out the contract of
their employer, regardless Of whether
the remainder of the work was tied
up. They would not leave the job
when the masons demanded that the
slate work be given to them. The
carpenters and plumbers are members
of unions affiliated with the mason
organization. The differences of the
unions. it was expected, would be
settled by the end of this week by
the national officers Of the organi-
cations. but they have not reached the
city yet.
Meanwhile the slate and metal CELL
ing work on the Central School in
course of construction in the rear of
the High School is held up, as the
men of these trades agreed to stop
work pending a settlement of the
trouble, rather than to delay the
other work. 1t was at this building
that the trouble first started.
