The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-03-17

The labor situation in Bridgeport
was complicated today when it be-
came generally known throughout
building circles that disagreement
is likely between the Bridgeport Local
Assembly Interstate Builders Con-
tractors & Dealers association and the
Building Trades council.
The council recently sent a COM
munication to the Interstate associa-
ton strenuousIy urging increased
wages for the carpenters masons and
other tradesmen who work on the
erection of any building, and the
thorough unionizing of every ''job.'
On a structure where union plumbers
were employed, for Instance, they
urged that the carpenters, painters
and masons all be union men.
The Interstate association, it has
become. known, is not disposed to
grant these conditions. A COM
promise will be offered.
An informal meeting of the Inter-
state contractors was held Saturday
evening and the matter was discuss
ed. The sentiment was that they
should not consider the recognition of
the union clause, but that they should
meet the men half way on the other
propositions.
The contractors are disposed to
grant the wage demands, in part. They
think the requests too stiff. While in
formation concerning the plans was
refused by the officers of the Inter
state association today, it has tran
spired that they feel sure of their
ground.
- A meeting will be held next week at
which action will be taken. It is ex-
pected that it will be pointed out that
the masonry workers agreement with
in
promise to work with non-union men
if necessary, precludes any thorough
recognition of the union.
1t is expected that the contractors
will make the contention also, that
most, of the big carpentry employers
run open shops and will not consent to
esta abHshing closed shops.
The same contention will be made
in regard to the plumbers. The open
shop phase will be dwelt upon.
