tion of New Contracts.

Practically every organized labor craft
in the building trades Is asking hlgh-
er scale In new contracts TO be made
Tor the current year, Old wage con-
tracts expire on the last day Of March.
These increases IN the daily wage
for eight hours work, run from 20 TO 10
per cent over union scales In effect dur
ing 1919, and the average increase asked
is considerably over IS per cent for
the building trades.
The stonecutters have asked the
smallest increase, about is per cent
They are getting s7is cents an hour
and want a dollar.
The electricians and the lathera ask
the largest increase, Electricians want
SI.25 an hour as against the old scale
tof 80 cents, Lathers want the same
pay, Sl.25 an hour, instead Of their old
scale OF rs cents
Bricklayers are asking Si25 an hour
