 To Visit Steel Plant

BUILDING TRADES
 ELIMINATE OPEN
 SHOP PLAN HERE
Virtually All Contractors In Accord With Plans of Un-
 ion Organization.

[ The Bridgeport building trades have won their fight against the open shop. Announcement of the big victory which began in battle against out standing contractors about two months ago when strikes were called upon about 12 firms having large contracts in the Park City, was made at labor headquarters today Following the re- port submitted to the annual meet ing of the association.
 Arrangements have been signed with practically every contractor in and wages are guaranteed to all artis- ans in the building trades. These include the Carpenters, local No. 1 5 i; Carpenters, local 1913; Painters & Decorators, local ITO; Plumbers & Steamfitters, local i173; Sheetmetal Workers, local IA, and the Lathers and the Slate and Tile Workers.
 As a result of the agreements all work must now be done under union rules and regulations. Though the larger contractors have for the past year or more been under agreement with the Bridgeport Building Trades Council and individual unions, there has been much municipal work done under the open shop plan. The pres- ent settlement of difficulties >insures a ''no-card- d-no-work" system through out the city.
 Leaders in discussing the situation today said that the Bridgeport build l. ing trades were today practically 100 per cent unionized and that better conditions existed here than in any other city in Connecticut.
 All building trades strikes hereto fore announced have been called off as the result of the conferences held last Friday, and work will progress rapidly. It is expected that settle ment may soon be effected upon the Stratford avenue bridge which is un- der contract with an outside firm of contractors. This is said to be the only piece of work in this city now being done upon the open shop plan and administration heads are blamed for the situation
