More Building Trades Men,
Working Than In Last July

More building trades men are work
ing now than in last July. 1t is Pc
culiar condition, considering the wea-
Their, and there are several explana-
lions.
During June, July and August there
was money scarcity. Unsettled con-
ditions had resulted in the banks re-
fusal to lend money, and so people
who wanted to build were unable to
finance their projects. This condition
was not merely local, but was general
throughout the country with but two
exceptions. Detroit and Cleveland
were the only American cities where
building was better than the average
during last summer
Now there has been a general I'M
provement, which, coming late IN the
season. has made the winter better
than winters have usually been. Lo-
cally, fewer men are working than
last week, but still there are more
than customary at this time of year.
One reason for the few idle men in
the building industry is that many
building trades men have taken inside
jobs, due to the general mill resump-
ton. As milfwrights, and at other
Jobs, they are working inside, and this
has taken them from the building
trade.

PAUL 0. REYMANN
CAUSES NEAR-R|O1

Friday evening Paul o. Reymann
precipitated what would have become
a riot had it not been for the clear
Medicines of the union men.
It occurred in the vicinity OF the
Reymann packing plant. at Manches-
ter. Several mill men, living in that
section of the city, began to talk with
strike breakers as they left the plant,
with the hope of arguing them into
ceasing their efforts to displace
Wheeling workers. A stenographer
raised a general alarm in the Rey-
mann office, and Paul o. Reymann.
followed by bunch Of strike break
ers and satellites, rushed on the
bridge and yelled:
What the hell's comm OF here!"
His appearance, accompanied by so
much buster and profanity. hearten-
ed the strike breakers. and witnesses
say that you could see them "stiffen
up" The spirit of battle charged the
air. Some blows were struck. None
had been struck before. Police were
called and four men arrested, all
workingmen, of course.
The trial was held before Judge
Honecker in police court. Saturday
morning. William Costello, one OF
those arrested, was released on re-
quest Of the prosecution. thus show
ing with what little pretext a union
man can be arrested on request OF
boss or a scab. John Serge and
Harry Fink were placed on trial, and
dismissed, there being practically no
evidence against them. All are mill
men

ON the right side fthe face. and look
ing back, saw Hanno, on that saoe'
The colored messenger testified that

that his right was against Duiioing
On this conflicting evidence Hanno

The Injunction as granted is similar

joins them from violating the statute

when they called their men out
This is not the fact. The Engineers
and Firemen both had an arbitration
clause in their contract with the Paul
o. Reymann company. and the men
were called out after he had refused
to arbitrate. Taking the determined
stand against arbitration. against
even considering the men. against
even comforting with a public body.
