BUILDERS TO INSIST
THAT WAGES BE CUT
No Big Constructive Work
Possible6therwise, Is View
of Leaders.

The board Of governors Of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association met
yesterday afternoon to discuss the re-
susal CT the Building Trades Council to
meet the employers for the purpose of
considering the voluntary wage reduc-
ton proposed by the employers. After
the meeting, G. D. Norman, chairman of
the board, said the association could for
the present add nothing more to its
statement of it's position. Mr.. Norman
said, however, the matter had not been
dropped.
Before the meeting Mr.. Norman. de-
clared the employers association had no
intention Of failing to live up to its
agreement with the council. which does
not expire until December 81.
But" he continued. I'VE all realize
,he seriousness of the building situation.
and we fear that unless there Is re-
duction in wages there will be no big
construction work undertaken. Al
though labor in the building trades Is
very generally employed at present. most
Of the work is on the cheaper grade OF
houses. The rush Of this type OF con-
structlon will be over In the fali, ana
unless the unions realize the situation
there will be nothing to take its place.
Mr. NOrfnan sdiu nc 10 nv i't
Of q heavy reduction and that the wages
now paid to common labor cannot go
much below the present scale.
The trades and associations repre-
scented at the meeting included the Mas
ter Builders, the Hosting Association.

house movers, architectural ironworkers,
Masters League Of Cement Workers and
Master Plumbers and Carpenters Asso-
Citations. =.
When the Building Trades Council
was informed of the employers proposal
il replied it was ready to consider the
1922 wage scale but could not consider
any change in the 1921 agreement. The
scale for the coming year Is usually de-
:ermined in November.

LEAYCROFT TWINS
SEEN IN MONTCLAIR
Friend Tells Mother Of Missing
Men He Talked With Them
Tuesday Evening.
SURPRISED AT SILENCE
Another Son Seeks 26-Year-
Old Brothers in Jersey City
Devoted to Each Other.

The twenty-six-year-old Leaycraft
twins-Latrobe and Charles Russell-for
whom the police started a search or
Tuesday at the request of the mother.
Mrs Charles Russell Leaycraft of Is
Charles street, were reported yesterday
as having been seen in Montclair, N. j.,
on Tuesday evening.
Their mother said that man who had
known them for years telephohed to her
that he talked with them at the Lacka-
wanna station in Montclair about
p. NJ. and they told>hi they were going
to visit friends. At that time he did not
know the young men were supposed to
be missing. Upon reading THE New
York HERALD yesterday he called up
the mother.
IT did not want any publicity" Mrs.
Leayclaft said last night, but it seems
10 have been a good thing after all. for
without it I should not have had any
word of the boys at all up to this time"
She still thought 1t strange they should
absent themselves without letting her
know and should fail to communicate
with her after the fact that the police
alarm had been published. Another son.
Reginald Leaycraft, went to Jersey City
last night, thinking the twins might
friends there. The mother has theory
that they cut away because they decided
to get positions or business connections
and to say nothing until they had done
so. For a time they worked in the offices
of Frame, Leaycraft & Co., an exporting
and importing firm Of 81 Wall street, of
which Reginald Leaycraft Is member,
but stipulation in the copartnership
agreement against the employment OF
relatives prevented them from remain
ing tire permanently.
/ AS children the twins were insepa-
rable, and they still are. Where one goes
there goes the other; where one works
The other must work. Friends have told
them that their devotion to each other
has sometimes interfered with their sue
cess in a practical way, but they have
preferred to stick together. Their
brother Reginald Is a Harvard man.
The twins did not go to college. but in
private schools In the United States and
Canada they received a good education
When the war came on they went to
Plattsburg. but, alike in so many things.
both are near sighted. They tried to
get into any branch of the military SER
vice that would take them. but eventu-
ally had to put up with the next best
thing and go to work in munitions
factory.
The twins and the late Theodore
Roosevelt were second cousins. Their
father, the late Charles Russell Leay-
craft, was a leading business man In
New York for many years. Prince Louis
of Battenberg while visiting the United
States in 1905 was entertained at the
Leaycraft home. or late years the twins
have lived part of the time with their
mother in Charles street and part with
their brother Reginald in Caldwell N. j..

every soul of us can be fairly

Like enjoys itself most,

We have never felt that
because one chose to live
in a snug little apartment
it was necessary to deprive
ones self of the beautiful
grand piano tone-favored
of all true musicians.
The makers of the
BRAMBACH piano felt
the same way about it.
They specialize in grand
pianos. All the genius
they possess is devoted to
the production of the clear,
vibrant, inspiring grand
piano tone.
They were the first to
make a a #. 8 in. grand
piano, which takes up no
more space in the corner
of a room than an upright
(see diagram).

Jesse Fuller. Jr., former Progressive,

ut is not a question Of who will make
the best Mayor. but who can be elected
and can make a good Mayor. I believe
Senator Lockwood is the only man who
can defeat Hylan. I do not believe
Hylan is crooked. I believe he is
blunderbuss. The people recognize his
sincerity and his genius for bungling.
I believe we have got TO meet Hylan on
his own ground. People would rather
have an honest b,undcrbuss than man
they thought spoke only the language of
the traction companies"

were made by Hugo Levy. Elmer q.
