REFUSE, UNION DEMANDS
Richmond Contractors Declare They
/ Are Unalterably Opposed to Die !.
sy tation as to Their Employees

Richmond, Oct. 4.-Mendbers of the
Allied Building Trades. Association
who comprise 95 per cent Of the con-
tractors and builders supply houses
of Richmond, are absolutely opposed
to the demand of the Building Trades
Council of Richmond that all workmen
on construction projects here carry
the card of the council. The conten-
tion of the employers is that they
should enjoy the right Of engaging
any workmen whom they may select
and that they are unalterabGy oppos-
ed to dictation from the union in this
matter.
In statement just issued over the
signature of the secretary the asso-
ciation maintains that the members
claim their legal and constitutional
right to select their own employees
on such terms as may be agreed upon
and do not recognize the authority of
the council to enforce its laws, card
system or other regulation. on our
buildings OF in our shops" The Build
ing and Trades Council is connected
closely with the building trades de-
pantment of the American Federation
of Labor.
1t is understood that the matter
reached a crisis yesterday when the
Allied Building Trades Association re
fused to meet with /: committee from
the labor council to confer on the
question: of drafting an agreement to
govern wages, hours, working condi-
bions and other details. When it was
learned that the union was to hold
out inflexibly for the use of the card
system the contractors refused to con-

When DR.. Grayson left the White
