was executing retreat when he was
stopped by the ladies and for the bet.

ed in his appointments and declared
that ne had no knowledge of the stand

PLASTERERS ON DUPONT
BULLDOG ON STRIKE

Twenty weight plasterers employed in
the new DUPONT building walked out
this morning when refused an increase
in pay from $3.50 TO So a day. They
were members of the Operative Plas-
tcrers aud Cement Finishers lnterna-
tional Association. and had been receiv-
ing the regular wages established by the
union for Wilmington. About half of
the men belonged in Wilmington, the
remainder came from Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
Fred Mitchell. foreman Of the plas-
terers. and Clayton Harrison. local
representative OF the Plasterers'
Union, said the walkout was contrary
to the regulations of the union and
that il might be possible to use dras-
tic measures with the men If they re-
fused to return to work. Both men
expressed the hope, however. that IL
would be unnecessary to go to any ex-
tremes in disciplining the men and de-
clared they expected the men would
return to work tomorrow morning.
They said they would take back any
who presented themselves, except the
ringleaders.
A meeting which the steward" Of
the plasterers wished called this even
ing for the purpose Of considering any
grievance the men had. was called off.
The men were not under contract, il
was declared. but we're hired regularly
as union men by the foreman when
they presented themselvs for work.
Many Of them had been employed az
