LABOR LOOKS No CARPENTERS

The stand taken by the carpenters
at the end of this week will affect the
labor situation for peace or war. The
sheet metal workers and painters
have been marking time until the at
titude of the strong carpenters union
is determined
The demands of the carpenters call
for separate agreement with a g.
cent raise in pay and a shorter day.
The manufacturers allied with the
Building Construction Employers
Assn have turned down these offers
of peace. Their agreement runs out
UI ,-U 10Th.
Sheet metal manufacturers had a
conference yesterday afternoon.
They have a contract with the con-
structors' assn and another with the
union men. The trend of yesterdays
meeting was for peace with the union
men and it is probable that they will
throw aside their obligations to the
builders to keep peace with the union
men.
