new SCALEO
WAGES MEANS !,
A REDUCTION
Trades and Labor Exchang.
Is Agree Upon a 20 Per
Cent cut April Is.

In order Ito stimulate the building
industry and restore confidence Of in
vestors," members Of the Grand Forks
and Fargo Builders and Traders ex-
changes have agreed upon a reduction
of wages in the building crafts. The
reductions average about 20 per cent
and are effective April IS.
This announcement was made last
night by John Hulteng, president of
the local Builders and Traders ex-
change. The reductions we're agreed
upon at a meeting Of representatives
of the two exchanges in this city last
week, but announcement al to the
until Matt Camitch of Fargo, presi-
dent of the state exchange. had APP
proved them. .
1t is o known today how the new
scale will be received by the work.
men. N. NJ. Aune of this city. secre-
tary of the North Dakota Federation
of Labor. expressed the opinion that
neither the carpenters nor the plumb
ers would accept them. Mr.. Aune
ing Officially for these unions. He
said:tthat the painters and electrical
workers, of course, would be pleased
for the new scale carries a slight in
crease for them.
. The new scale makes a reduction of
% cents per hour in the wages of
bricklayers and plasterers. the new
figure being $1.00. There is an in
crease of five cents in the case of
painters and of ten cents for electrical
workers. The wage set for carpen-
tiers, cement f%inishcrs. plumbers.
steam filters and sheet metal workers
have beer reduced from 81 per hour
to so cents per hour.
In announcing the new scale. Mr..
Hulteng said that the figures were
agreed upon only after careful con-
sideration of all factors, and final
action was taken in a sincere effort
to stimulate the building industry and
restore confidence of investors"
1t was pointed out that "by max
ing a new wage scale the builders
hope the, great volume Of building,
which was accumulated in the last
three years, might be put IN the
market on a basis wherein the own
ers might see a proper return for
their money and at the same time
the artisan receive a wage common
surate with his skill and the cost OF
living"
Referring to the large number OF
men now out OF employment. 1t was
said that Ito relieve these conditions
and put men back to work it was
conceded that the only course oper
was that OF a readJust'
ment in the wage scale. Building
scales are generally dated from May
l., but 1T was thought h owing tc
the fact that builders are waiting fol
a. r~eadjustment to take place it wa.
thought best to make the change:
now
All readjustments are tt take eff
feet on April Is except in ase.
where there are agreements with en-
ployes which do not terminate unit
after that date. In the event O.
agreements terminating after ApH
Is. the new scale, it was said. would
automatically become effective at tn,
expiration of the agreements.
