INDUSTRIAL WAR
Is THE GREATEST
Over Two Hundred Plants VIII Shut
Down In an Effort to End
Strike,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-One OF the
greatest Industrial wars the country
has known will be on tomorrow when
246 plants engaged in the output OF
building material will shut down com.
pletely to bring Chicago's striking
carpenters to terms.
More than 100000 men, It is esti.
mated, will be thrown out OF work
These workers include mill men, build
ing workmen, transfers and allied
workers.
The plants that have agreed to close
to force the union men to arbitrate
differences which have been under
discussion since May are: Seventy
lumber yards, nfty-four common brick
plants, seven face brick factories,
twenty-four lime kiln companies. If
teen sand, stone and gravel concerns,
forty eight sash. door and blind mill
esta blishments, ten plahing mills, ten
terra Gotta factories, i've hard wood
flooring factories, three elevator oper-
ating companies.
The employers, IN announcing their
decision today, declared they are de-
termined to force the carpenters to
agreement. The employers today say
they are fighting to wipe out for all
time possibility OF future strikes by
union labor. Arbitration. they an
nounced. must hereafter replace d.
rect action.
Labor leaders, however, declared the
suggestion to arbitrate a battle they
already have virtually won Is &bsurd.
They declared that Of $1,000 carpen-
ters who struck for raise to 20 cents
an hour May /, 10000 are at work un-
der agreements signed by independent
contractors. They complained today
to Attorney Cline that the lockout Is
directed by the contractors associa-
ton against these Independent con-
tractors, as much as against the en-
ployes.
On this complaint and on other
complaints that the shutdown Is in
restraint Of trade and discrimination,
federal officials today redoubled their
EFFORTS to run down such charges.
