WORKERS DEMAND
REHEARING OF CASE
Insist However, This Is Not Re-
ieCting Lands Finding

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Two construc-
tons today were being placed on the
unanimous vote of the Chicago build
ing trades council declaring the Lam
dis wage award "unjustifiable' and ex-
pressing the universal dissatisfaction
of the workers over the decision of
Judge X. NJ. Lands as arbiter in the
building trades controversy.
Wage cuts of ten to 33 per cent.
were made in the lands decision.
Builders and contractors held labor's
verdict and demand for a re-hearing
as taptamount or rejection of the
award. Others asserted labor had not
broken its pledge to abide by the de-
cision and termed the action IAN ac-
ceptance under protest.
The declaration OF the union bodies
and the request for a re-hearing today
was considered a serious setback to
the prospective peace in the Chicago
building world and the proposed i'm
mediate starting of 500, 0ce, 900 worth
of building and the employment of
nearly $4,000 men.
Members Of building trades unions
on a number of jobs yesterday threw
down their tools. Thomas Kearney,
president OF the building trades coun-
ell today expressed his intention to try
to keep the workers on the job until
decision regarding a re-hearing had
been reached. but admitted that IL
would be big task. At the meeting
of the trades council, dissatisfaction
was heard on every side and among
all unions. he asserted.
James Conroy. secretary of the
building council asserted that the &C
ton of the council in asking for a re-
hearing did not constitute a rejection
of the Lands award reducing wages
from 10 to SO per cent. The workers
merely expressed their intention of re-
fusing to work for what they consid-
cred inadequate wages. he said.
z. NJ. Craig, secretary of the build
ing construction employers associa-
ton. on the other hand, characterized
the action as a virtual rejection of the
agreement and expressed his belief
that no re-hearing will be granted so
long as the men fail to STAY on the job.
The action of the building trades
council and the request for a re-hear-
ing is to be submitted today to Judge
Lands. who is on a vacation at Burt
Lake. Mich
