Matter of Wages.

1.-The master steamfitters have agreed
to increase the steamfitters' pay to
$4D per day. same to go into effect
November /. The master steamfitters
have declined to increase the helpers
pay for the reason that the helpers
are the best paid apprentices in the
city at the present wage scale of $2.4O
a day This offer was based on the
agreement being dated July l, as in the
past.
1T is hoped that Local No. COZ will
accept the offer as made by the Mas
ter Steamfitters' Association and there
by avoid the necessity of the master
steamfitters bringing non-union men
to the city to take their places. which
they feel will be a great hardship on
the local mechanics who are members
of Local No. 6O2.''
According to a statement by Warren
W. Biggs, president of the Master
Steamfitters' Association, many non
union men have applied for the places
vacated by the striking union mem
bers. Applications have also been re-
ceived. Mr.. Briggs said, from non-union
steamfitters in other cities, but none
of the applications will be considered
until every effort toward a peaceful
settlement of the present controversy
has failed.

Text of Statement.

The journeyman steamftters and help
crs belonging to local union, No. COZ,
laid down thei rtools Tuesday. September
L, because the master steamfitters de-
clined, on a twenty-four- hour notice. to
increase the steamfitters' pay from $40
to $500 day. and the steamfitters' help
ers from $40 to $2.4S per day. The
members of Local No. 602 also demanded
that the agreement heretofore going into
effect July l be changed to September l.
The master steamfitters declined to
change the date of agreement because a
large percentage of the work is figured
on i'll the late spring and early summer
months. September l being in the busy
season, they deem it unfair to them to
date, and therefore demand that the
agreement be dated July /, as in the past.
The question Of increased wages
was taken up by the Master Filters
Association and the local union dur
ing the month Of January. 1914, at
which time the steamfitters asked for
an increase in pay from $40 a day OF
eight hours to $40 for the same day s
work, an increase of II a day. The
helpers asked for an increase from
Steamt1tters' Association demurred, and
after a number of conferences between

scale, to take effect July l. Local No.
602, however, allowed the old agree
ment to lapse July l, since which time
they have been working at the old
scale. but without an agreement. This
same condition continued until Mon
day, August 81, when the master
steamfitters received notice that unless
the new wage scale, as above stated,
was agreed to, the men would be call
