CARPENTERS WAGES
Why Should Reduction Be All on Men
and None on Contractors
Editor of the Banner:

Editor Of the Banner:
! see by the announcement OF the
carpenter contractors, as printed in
the Banner a few days ago, that they
want TO break the carpenters union
by starting one OF their own to control
the building trade.
This may be all right but It would
seem to me that what is good for the
goose ought to be good for the gander.
If the contractors really want to do
something TO stimulate building,
which assume they do, providing 1t
does not clip anything from their
wings, would suggest that they, the
contractors. might take quite a thick
peeling OF their own graft without
serious injury to themselves.
Under the arrangement as II has
been IN force, the contractors take one
dollar and five cents each day OF the
pay Of every man in their employ.
This amounts to 1926 extra profit to
the contractor in one year. II he EN-
ploys five men his rakeoff from their
wages in one year is 1892. II the
contractor has ten men he takes from
their pay the neat sum OF S3260 extra
profit in year and the profit is sure,
as It has nothing to do with any profit
that may be made on the job.
Understand, too, that this is the
minimum. don't know what the
maximum is. but il is understood that
there have been cases where the con
tractors rakeon has been more than
dollar and FIVE cents per day. Per
haps this is nObody's business but
their own.
With their own wages OF nine or ter
dollars day and percentage on the
material that goes into the job. there
would seem TO be an opportunity FOL
the contractors to help start a build
ing boom and not expect the whole
sacrifice to be made by the men il
their employ
have no personal grievance anC
no axe to grind but 1t looks to me al
though the contractors were not 81
badly in need of union of their owl
after all. w. H. MOSES.
