VOTE NOT TO STRIKE
 FOR S4 PER DAY

Members of the two locals of the and Joiners union affiliat- ed with the A F. of L. met in Car day afternoon and after a lengthy dis cussion it was voted not to make the request of the contractors for a min 'imums wage of for an hour day. This proposition had been submitted to the carpenters some time ago by members who claim the, minimum wage of the journeymen carpenters in Bridgeport is not much lower than in othef cities of it's size.
 Tn view of the fact that there is great building activity in Bridgeport at present and that almost every car penter in the city has employment while the demand for mep is steadily increasing with the coming of spring. it was thought by some that this would be an opportune time to make demand for an increase in wages and if necessary to bring on a gen. eraT strike if the contractors refused the demand.
 The majority were disinclined to such action, however, and they voted against the proposition.
 Carpenters now receive a minimum m wage of ss.5o per day of eight hours with half holiday Saturday Some of the more skillfuI and speedy at the craft receive as much as $5. for the eight hour day with the Saturday half holiday.

Be it further resolved: That for
securing the passage of such laws, we
request the cooperation and assistance
of other farmers associations, cham
