PHILA. CARPENTERS
DROP TOLOCAL WAGE

Readjustment and reduction in the
wage scale OF building trades work
ers in Philadelphia. announced this
morning, will have little or no effect
upon building trade conditions in
Wilmington, it was said today by
labor leaders.
Nine thousand carpenters who
have been on strike in Philadelphia
since May 1 have agreed to accept
the terms laid down by the employ
ers. The new rate OF pay will be 90
cents an hour instead of S1.12h.
In addition the carpenters have
agreed not to call sympathetic strikes
for the benefit OF other classes OF
labor and to protect non-union men
from molestation.
Carpenters in Wilmington have
been working for 90 cents an hour
for several months. having voluntar-
lily accepted a reduction from the
former scale OF s1.12h. In Chester
the 80 cents an hour rate was ac-
cepted about a month before Will
mington. The wage scale in Will
mington. Chester and Philadelphia
is now on a par.
