ALDERMEN ACT
IN LABOR CASE
Discuss Proper Course to Fol-
low in Forcing Contractor
to Finish City Garage Job.
TO MEET MONDAY NIGHT
Building Trades Association
Holding Meeting This A.
ternoon in Strike Matter.
TO MEET MONDAY NIGHT

The aldermen, in committee Ses-
sion last night, discussed at length
the proper course to pursue in fore
ing Jorgen T. Jorgensen, the con-
tractor, to continue work on the city
garage and stable. Practically moth
ing has been accomplished on the
job since the first of the month, a
few roofers only having been en-
ployed in putting slate on the roof
of the stable. According to Alder
man Christian Andersen the con-
tractor has made a promise to have
his men at work next Monday.
The city attorney was not present
at t e committee meeting last night
and as result no legal opinion
could be secured as to just what
steps the aldermen were justified in
taking. 1t is expected that some
thing definite will be decided upon
at the regular aldermanic meeting
Monday night.
There is a clause in the contract
between Jorgensen and the city
which states that If he refuses to
furnish sufficient labor and material
after having been given a three days
notice, the city can purchase the
supplies and hire the labor, deduct
ing this amount from the contract
price. In order to do this, however.
the affidavit of someone must be Sc
cured swearing that the contractor
is not willing to carry out the terms
of the contract.
Meeting This Afternoon.
At the meeting of the Building
Trades Association called for this
afternoon in the builders exchange
in Maple street, it is expected that
some definite move will be made on
the part of the master builders to
bring the strike now underway here
to an end. The meeting will be at
tended by master builders from New
Brunswick, Roosevelt and other sec
tions of the county.
For the past week or more, cond1-
tions in the strike, which resulted
in the unions refusing to accept 81
a day decrease in wages, has been
almost at a stand still. Each side
seems to have been waiting for the
other to make a move, and from
what can be learned today the move
will be made this afternoon by the
master builders.
Whether or not this move will be
to adopt the open shop plan or to
re-employ the union men at IS a
day instead of 81 as desired, could.
not be learned, but it is known
fact that the master builders are
anxious to go on with their construc-
tion work and in order to, do this
some definite action must be taken.
Indications at the present time, how
ever, are that the master builders,
members of the Building Trades AS
sociation, will not sign up to with
the unions for the IS day.
