IN CHICAGO.
EFFECTS $4,000 UNION MEN
He Rules Employers May Engage
Nonunion Men in Emergency
and Unions Can Not
Limit Work.

Striking the props from
the high cost of building in Chicago
and reducing wage scales for many
classes of construction workers, Judge
Lands has handed down his decision
in the building arbitration which has
been before him for the last three
months. The decision was greeted
with joy by builders and architects,
officials of the building trades, whose
men were hit by the wage cuts, re-
fused comment.
The decision made wage cuts vary
ing from 10 to as high as 33 per cent
of the old uniform rate of $1.25 an
hour for skilled workers. Approx
mately $4,000 workers in SO unions
are affected.
Judge Lands estimated the saving
in actual cost of building would be
about 20 per cent.
Plumbers Get e5 Cents.
Reductions from the $1.25 rate for
the important unions were as follows:
Plumbers, IS cents; bricklayers, $1.10;
steam filters, 95 cents; electricians,
$1.10; cement finishers, IS cents; or
namental iron workers, IS cents; slate
and tile roofers, 81; fathers, 81.
Eight of the "A building trades
ruled upon by Judge Lands will re.
ceive less than IS cents an hour, and
10 crafts which are in the laboring
class will receive 70 cents; excavat.

than 20 cents.
