DOLLAR AN HOUR

One dollar an hour is the scale of
wages which the local carpenters
union has demanded of the local con-
tractors, beginning April /. The car
penters' union scale is now IS cents

clared that his organization would not
act upon it as it does not affect them.
The rs contractors represented by the
organization have not been employing
union carpenters since the strike of
last fall, Mr.. Meers said, which &C
counts for the fact that the proposed
increase does not interest them. He
said also that 10 other contractors in

union carpenters.
The Builders exchange has received
