URGE Plan TO CURB
BUILDING STRIKES
Local Wage Conference Board
to Arbitrate Disputes and Pre-
vent Sympathy WaIkouts
COST OF LIVING BASIS
By the Associated Press

Cincinnati. o., May 7. - Establish :
ment Of local wage conference or ad-
iustment boards throughout the country
to prevent unnecessary strikes and lock.
outs in the building industry was urged
here today by the executive council OF
the building trades department 0f the
American Federation Of Labor.
Under the proposed plan announced
by John Donlin. president Of the build.
ing trades department, arbitration Of
wage disputes Is provided and sympa- :
thetic strikes in behalf Of unions making
"unjustifed demands" are prevented.
II has already been successfully tried
out in several cities. including Cincin-
natl. hc said.
The new movement. he added
Twill give stability to the industry and
inspire confidence in the building and
investment public"
The proposed boards will be composed
of representatives of the building con.
tractors and the various unions. Wage
scales for the various crafts will be
established on an equitable basis. ac-
rording to the merits Of the trade.
There will be no uniform scale. The
board shall consider the question Of ad-
vance or decreases in wages as general
living conditions will permit.
Bars Unreasonable Demands
"One of the chief merits Of the plan,
said Mr.. Donlin. "iS that no sympa-
thctic strike can be called TO uphold the
unreasonable or unjustified demands of
some particular union. That Is one Of
our troubles today and a situation that
must be rectified.
Reports received by tho council Pres.
dcnt Donln said. showed that building
conditions throughout the country ar.
very bad" but there is some slight
Improvement.
The councils reports show that the
building trades unions- are willing to
60 operate in reducing building costs. y
added Mr. Donlin. "by accepting
equitable wage reductions in line with
the falling costs Of living"
Urges Political Reforms
The executive council Of the Ameri-
can federation held brief session to-
day working on it's report to the annual
convention of the federation.
This report. IL was learned. will in
cludo a recommendation for n general
application of the initiative and refer
cndum in the political affairs of the
United States and of other several
states
Word was received By the council that
J. II. Thomas. head Of the Railway
Workers Union in England. will come
70 the United States soon and will ad
dress the federation's convention in
Denver in June.
