 "When citizens. of other states Tar removed from the usual interests of New York. condemn the recent pro- ccedngs in our commonwealth, we who Iiye herc cannot be expected 10 take this outrage quiesccntiy.

EXCESSIVE DEMANDS
 FOR PAY A MENACE
Chicago Trades Request Would
 Cost Si4O,00O a Day

Chicago, March 31.-Chicago's si00,000,oo0 program of building con- struetion, awaiting the settlement of all building trades wage demands, faces further delay if wage increases are granted to plasterers and brick layers, according to Edward NJ. Craig, secretary of the Building Construction Employers association.
 Mir. Craig says that the granting of pay increases to bricklayers and plas- terers from the existing sl.25 an hour rate 10 a s12 daily scale for the for- incr and d Sl4 one for the latter would automatically raise the wages of the other basic trades. This wage increase tor the building mechanics, he says, would tax the building indus try s140.000 daily and force the build ing public to strike against the high cost of labor.
 'The wage increase demands of hricl>layers and plastercrs have all ready had Il noticeable effect on pros pcctiye construction" Mir. Craig as- serted. "Contractors report falling off of requests for estimates, and in many cases where estimates have been submitted owners stave off action bending adjustment of wage matters
 The plaSterers' Agreement, under which pay is SIPS an hour, expires cn May 1. and the briclliarers' con- tract on May 3l, A national shortage in each craft however, has boosted the wages of both unions. The pay for plastercrs averages about rom SIG to SIS a day, Brieklaycrs receive on an average of $14 day.
 "An increase in wages to any trade in the building industry would cause chaotic conditions. All trades would become dissatisfied and demand the r.me increase given to tine trade ask ing higher pay rates. A uniform rate for the building trades men now pre- ,ails in Chicago"
