Massachusetts,

An unusual situation has arisen n
the printing trade in Boston and Vlcin-
ity and with the Easter MASSACHUSETTS
street railway and its employees For
the first time in this state. according
to information available from the
state department OF labor and indus
tries. reductions in wage have been
announced in these instances stimuli
taneous with reduction in rates The
printers nd allied workers have gone
out on strike as a protest. and the
street railway workers threaten TO
strike if the cut is enforced on May
1, as announced. The opposition by
the unions is said to be based on the
contention that cost of materials in
many lines can be substantially re-
duced as a first measure of economy
without touching the purchasing pow
er of the laborer.
The building trades situation is al
most statewide. Strikes or lockou;s.
