of Carpenters union No. 424, gave
out an interview today scorching the
trust papers and treating on condi-
tons among the men. His interview
was read by Pres. John Metz and the
members of the arbitration board ap-
prove it.
From the daily papers, which
give but one view, that OF the con-
tractors said De Young, "the public
gets the idea that our union has no
limit to its demands.
Through the trust press the peo-
pie have scant chance of learning the
truth; the people should know. The
facts l will give below:
''The contractors offered us an
agreement which asked us to work
three years longer with no increase
in pay. They demanded that no
union contractor be permitted to
contract without permission of the
arbitration board, that at the expira-
ton of one year his union card be
withheld. This our union rejected as
we felt entitled to an increase in pay
and did not want our contractors in
a position where they would have no
recourse but to join the ASSOCIATION.
"a carpenter labors under great in
conveniences as compared with other
trades. He must own costly tools
and lug a cumbersome tool box. He
must be possessed of superior me-
chanical ability. His employment is
not permanent or continuous, the
average wage in our trade being but
$18 or $40 week. There is no trade
on the building of whom more work
is expected.
These facts then lead us to the
conclusion that the carpenter is en-
titled to and should receive at least
an equal amount of pay with the
other trades. An average of the
wages of all the building trades is
about 721a cents an hour. The car

CARPENTERS ROAST THE TRUST PRESS-ONLY
GAVE BOSSES SIDE OF STORY THE CLAIM

10000 carpenters of Chicago to ask
them to continue to work for 8 years
at a wage of ~ cents an hour less
than other workmen on the same
building are getting?"
The Carpenter Contractors assn
has been booted into the Ananias
club by Sec'y Daniel Calvin of the
carpenters.
In daily interviews given to every
paper the contractors have said that
the carpenters ignored the letter
written March %, offering an in
crease of 21a cents an hour for the
last half of a 3-year agreement
period.
The carpenters side of the story is
that it is true that this letter was not
answered by mail. They chose a
more direct way and on April the
arbitration committee officially no
titled the contractors that the district
council had rejected the proposed 211a
cent raise. That was nine days be-
fore April 10, the date set by the con-
tractors for the reception of reply.

the number of tags sent out in heavy

possibly week more before all the
