INCREASE IN PAY
GRANTEDUNION
BRICKLAYERS
New Scale of $l..l2 IL Starts
Monday-Another u lie
Increase April. l..

Union bricklayers and contractors
of the city reached an agreement
yesterday afternoon and the men
will return to wrok Monday morn
ing on contracting jobs now under
operation in the city.
Nearly 200 bricklayers met at the
Labor Temple, Sixteenth street and
Capitol avenue, at yesterday after
noon and decided to offer to the con-
tractors the proposition that begin
ming Monday morning the wage
scale be increased 12I-2 cents an
hour, making the rate of pay
SLIP IL an hour, and that on April
l an additional increase of l2l-2
cents be given, which would make
their pay SIPS an hour.
This offer was accepted by the
Employers association, which was
holding Ia meeting at Its headquar-
tiers, 1922 Harney street.
The bricklayers contended that
the new scale is already being paid
in number of cities and that $l.25
is necessary to enable them to earn
living wage, due to much broken
time.
According to A. L. Keller, secre-
tary of the local bricklayers asso-
citation, the men did not take up their
claim with the Builders Exchange
but with the Employers association,
members of which, he states, employ
only union men. A second meeting
of the two associations will be held
Monday morning at 9 at the Labor
Temple and the final agreements
will be made. ..

ganda and activities in which use
of violence to overthrow the gov
ernment was advocated.
