JURISDICTIoNAL ROW OF LABOR
UNIONS AT END

The long standing judisdictional
dispute between structural iron
workers and bod carriers is at last
settled. It has caused a scrap in
many national building trades con-
vention.
Both unions claimed the right to
place steel reinforcing in concrete.
The bod carriers have been doing it
in Chicago. The contractors favor
ed the carriers, because they get but
40 cents an hour and the iron work
ers 68 cents.
The new agreement gives the IRON
workers the work on buildings which
are more than one story high or
which have more than SO feet of
frontage. It is stipulated that the
work of carrying the material shall
remain that of the bod carriers. The
Mason and Builders assn today sign
ed the agreement between the iron
and bod men, making it satisfactory
to everybody.
