N. Y. BUILDING
 TRADESMEN SEEK
 ANOTHER INCREASE
100, ,ooo Workmen to Ask Wage Raise and Two Year Agree
 ment.

New York, Nov. ,16.-Wage in creases of $I a day for the 1oo, o,ooo members of the New York building trades council adding, it is estimated, $2o, 100000 to the annual building cost, were demanded today in a for nal notice to employers. The mat ter will come before the Building Trades Employers Association next Wednesday,
 The proposed new scale would be $I a day for journeymen mechanics and 9 day for helpers. In addition several individual trades, including carpenters and painters, are negotiat- ing individually for pay advances.
 Carpenters, largest single craft in the building trades, with a member ship of o.ooo under the district coun- cil, already have another wage boost ciation The painters, with I2,ooo members, have been negotiating for several weeks with the Association of Master Painters and Decorators with out reaching an agreement. The re- maining crafts will meet their em- ployers within the next seven days.
 Much resistance is expected on the part of some of the employers groups, according to Christian C.. Norman, chairman of the board of governors of the New York Building Trades Employers Association. Their position has been weakened, how ever, by the recent concession of a 50 cents a day increase to the marble cutters and settlers by the Marble In- dustry Employers Association after a three weeks strike. The stone der rick men, on strike for five weeks for $Io a day, reported at work yes terday with the understanding they would get so cents a day increase, raising their wage to $o.5o.
 Crafts that will seek the ST rate for skilled men and $o for their assist ants include carpenters, painters, plumbers, electrical workers, house shorers, housesmiths, fathers, pipe fit ters, sheet metal workers, tile layers, mosaic workers, roofers and several other trades Most of them are seat cil at I2 St. Marks place. The initiat- ing movement cannes from the mar ble workers.
 There is a possibility that an ad- justment without strike or lockout at the first of the year may be reach ed on the basis of an increase of so cents day.
 The movement for increased wages by the bulk of the building trades is looked upon among builders as the inevitable consequence of the brick layers establishing their $I2 rate for two-year period that began May I, 1923. Bricklayers' wages set the standard for the other trades for New York and more or less for the entire country.

PATRONAGE IS VOLUNTARY
 SAYS CANADIAN JUDGE


 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Nov. I7.-The pub1ic's patronage of a busi- ness place is entirely voluntary" ruled Supreme Court Justice Ives in dismissing a plea of cafe owner for $2,ooo damages against striking wait CTS, who picketed. his place.
 The court refused to accep the an ti-union theory that business mans patronage can be protected by the in junction process when threatened by organized workers. Justice Ives laid down the common sense dictum that customers can lawfully cease their patronage at any moment ,and that the, walters have the right to induce such stoppage of patronage "in an effort to advance the legitimate i'm terests of themselves and other mem bers of the union"
