Associated Builders of Chicago, in bit
ing, unambiguous phrases sketched the
building controversy that has grown
out of the Lands agreement and told
members OF the Kwanis Club before
whom he spoke at the regular weekly
luncheon Of that organization today,
how they could help solve the gravest
situation that has risen in the building
world in recent years.
That the question OF wages was not
the dominating difficulty that confront
ed those interested in affecting an ac-
ceptabie agreement between the con
tractors and unions was indicated, ac-
cording 70 Mr.. Mckinley by tho fact
that OF the total three months spent
by Judge Lands in drawing up the
agreement only one day was spent in
settling the wage scale. All OF the
rest of the time was consumed in
eradicating clauses injected by the
unions during the war and which Mr..
Mckinley referred 70 as "the most
damnable provisions ever entered into
between employer and employe."
Article Three of the Eight Cardinal
Principles upon which the strength of
the building trades unions IS based was
changed during the hectic war period
to read. There shall be no restriction
upon any material except prison made
and non-union made" The last two
words have been since their adoption
