UNIONS OPPOSE CUT IN
WAGES IN BUILDING LINE
tContlnued from page u

Carl Christensen then closed the
conference by saying the builders
will do all they can to stimulate
building.
To Form County Organization
Following the conference of the
builders and union representatives a
meeting of the builders was held, at
which time it was decided to form a
Master Builders Association of Mid
dlesex county. The representatives
present from New Brunswick were
in favor of such an association and
March 9th was set for the organiza-
ton meeting, which will be held in
this city at 5 o'clock in the after
noon.
Long Discussions
During the meeting c~onsidera-
BILE discussion took place concerning
the action of the unions in not
agreeing to a reduction in the scale
of wages. The idea seemed to pre-
vail that in maintaining the high
wage scale the unions themselves
are forcing open shop conditions.
Those who employ union workers
not being able to obtain work. while
those who do not pay union prices
can find work. The question also
arose at to the signing of the union
agreement for the new year when
the present n run out in May,
hut no action was taken on this
matter.
The high prices demanded by the
unions, some thought would result
in all building being killed. 1t was
believed by others that between
now and the first of May the un-
ions would see the conditions which
exist and when the new agreements
are drawn up they may show a cut
in the wage scale.
II was pointed out that many
men are doing odd jobs for people.
This should not be. for II man meets
with an accident while at work, the
person who has hired him is re-
sponsible. The builders have the
men insured against accident and
in this way protect themselves.
The builders discussed this phase
OF the public employing carpenters
and other mechanics and brought
out that there is a fine of $50 and
an additional fine of 81 a day for
each day the men work, when an in
france policy is not carried on
them.
