SUMMIT LABORERS
WAR WITH MASONS
Working Agreement Refused,
They Plan to Affiliate With
the |. w. w.
Especial to the Evening Star. I

SUMMIT, April 22.-By way of re-
,risal, the members of the local La
1orers' Union are considering the ad-
disability of refusing to work with
he members of the local Bricklayers'
md Masons unions.
Efforts have been made since the
organization of the Laborers' Union
acre several months ago to have the
}ricklayers' and Masons' unions enter
nto an agreement whereby the labor
rs would secure the union scale of
wages. The masons have declined to
axe the laborers under their wing,
md at last nights meeting of the
Masons' and Bricklayers' local the ap-
plication of the laborers was again
rejected.
State President James Haley, of the
laborers' organization, was present.
The masons declare they cannot enter
into any agreement With the Iaborers
because the latter are not affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor Neither the Masons' Union
nor the Laborers' Union here have
any agreement with the bosses as to
wages.
The laborers who work with the
masons insist that they shall not be
required to work at excavating or
laboring work other than to attend
the masons. A number of the labor
ers, II is said, have declared they will
affiliate with the /. w. w, now that
the masons have refused to assist
them.
The bosses will not accede to any
demands from the laborers, as there
is little work in the building line
under way here or planned at this
time, and the builders feel they will
have no trouble at any time in secur-
ing necessary laborers. Laborers are
now paid from $1.75 to $3.50 per day
here.
