Building Labor Conditions
Considered Bright for 1924

where wage increases have been
granted they have only covered pre-
vious bonus payments. although
nnckiayers andplasterers are in some
places getting bonuses as a result of
shortage in those crafts
Jurisdictional Dispute.
I'm addition to the reepening of the
carpenters and sheet metal workers,
the existence of dual conflicting build
ing trade councils in New York, Chi
cago and Cleveland offers a menacing
partment of the American Federation
OF Labor is attempting to adjust. In
Chicago the International Painters
brotherhood, at the instance of the
Painters' District Council, threatened
to withdraw from the department II
it did not do something toward bring
ing about unity Of the union of that
city:
AN important development in New
York was a decision of Supreme
,,u, TuuL. justice Ford, who. acting as
umpire between the Mason Builders
Association and the bricklayers
unions in bonus dispute, decided
that once a builder pays bonus on
an operation he is obligated to con-
tinue such payments for the life of
the job The bricklayers adopted a
resolution last year asking contrac-
tors to stop taking men away from
each other by bonus offers in times
OF labor shotgage.
Cooperation Shown.
"Co-operation of the building
unions and contractors in the estab-
lishment of building trades appren-
ticeship schools during the past year
is aiding to some extent in reliev-
ing the labor shortage. Announce
ment comes from Carnegie Institute
OF Technology, at Pittsburgh, that of
the 1900 night students enrolled for
this year, so per cent have signed
up for courses in building construc-
ton. The report indicates that a
large number of the young men er-
tered for these studies formerly were
interested only in clerical and other

established and operated in many
other cities, with the cooperation of

the various trade unions. Almost
every labor organization is aiding In
this work and their efforts have In
creased their membership thfough
apprentices.
New York Negotiations.
IN New York negotiations have
been completed which may insure
peace between workmen and eR-
ployers for the next two years. Prac-
tically every important union has
dem anded and obtained tWo-yeAr
contract which calls. in a majority
of cases, for an increase OF 90 cents
day in the basic scales. Among
the recent contracts are: Carpenters.
$l0.50 per day; cement masons. $1050
per day; housesmiths. $10.5o; painters
and decorators. s10.50; slate roofers.

on many jobs. and a similar bonus Is

building mechanics are employed at
present.
I'm Chicago most building trades
are reported satisfied to continue on
the present basis of s1.25 an hour.
The bricklayers, plasterers and paint
ers have indicated that they may
ask 25 cents an hour increase when
their present agreements expire on
March 81. Skilled mechanics are in
great demand. Excavating teamsters
recently threatened to strike for 81
a day more and an eight-hour day.
A compromise was affected on a
fifty-cent increase and the continua-
tion of the nine-hour schedule.

where the 1923 wage scales are ex-

cut from $3.50 to s1.37h per hour,
although many firms are paying the
former scale. Plumbers there were
raised IA cents an hour. Nashville

Building labor conditions through
out the country are considered gen.
orally favorable at present. according
to a national survey of conditions in
the building crafts Just completed by
S. W. Straus & Co. and made public
today. Current conditions are epito-
mized as follows:
Wages generally we'll stabilized
with slight upward tendencies in
larger cities where prospective build
ing operations are large.
General employment at peak wages
with especially pressing demands for
bricklayers and plasterers.
Possible shortage of common labor
with the development of activities
now indicated by unprecedented
volume of building permits;
Possibility of ensuing difficulties
through jurisdictional dispute be-
tween carpenters union and sheet
metal workers over installation of
metal trim work.
tion of building trades. unions and
contractors in establishing building
trades apprenticeship schools to help
relieve labor shortage.
Report Favorable Factors.
"One of the factors in promulgating
the generally favorable tone now per-
vading the situation" the survey
states, "has been the unusual amount
of employment throughout the build
ing crafts during the winter months.
These conditions were partly due TO
mild weather in some sections of the
country, but it is noted that efforts to
increase the volume of construction
In the so-called off seasons have been
successful. 1t is significant that the
government has seen MT to take up
this important phase of the building
situation semi officially through the
formation of the committee on sea-
sonal operations in the constru uction
industries, which now has in pre1a-
ration voluminous recommendatlons
on plans and methods of eoualizing
activities throughout the year.
Current building trades wage rates
per hour show that building labor
now is getting peak wages, as fol-
lows: Bricklayers, s1.12k to S1.75: car
penters, 20 cents to 81 so: hosting en-
gineers. SO cents to s1.671s: nod car
riers, SO cents to s1.25: pile drivers. SO
cents to S1.12k; structural iron work
ers, so cents to $3.50; common labor
scales in st. Louis carry the highest
rates in the country In that city
wage advances ranging from 10 to
25 cents an hour have been granted
carpenters, hod carriers, hosting en-
gineers and common labor. Negro
hod carriers have signed a new scale
of Sl.25 an hour. Painters are de-
manding a rate of $50 per hour Mon
day to Friday inclusive, and S3 per
hour for Saturday and Sunday"
Common Labor Rate.
The survey reports the common la
Dor rate for the nation as applied to
pick and shovel men at 55 cents an
hour, as against 81 cents for the pre-
ceding month. In New York. Chicago,
Cleveland and some other large cities,
laborers are getting from rs cents to
S7le cents per hour.
''In many cities,' the report points
out, the building trades have ar
ranged for renewal of the 1923 wage
scales for the ensuing season. Where
advances are being written in the new
contracts they have thus far been
comparatively light In many cities

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE pre-

litical convention gave way today
to the deadly serious business Of

as the principal figures Of the
Democratic party poured into New

Argument over the two-thirds
rule, the unit rule and kindred
matters was relegated to second
place about the crowded hotel lob

and directing the count Of noses.
$50 Delegates Enlisted.
There are approximately $50 dele.
gates in the convention whose
course is uncertain after the COM

way, and it is toward these dele
gates that both McAdoo and Smith
camps are casting covetous eyes.

FLOODS Of RUM
GETTING IN,
CHARGE
But They Can Be Stopped,
Asst. Atty. Gen. WiIdebrandt
Tells Senators

Rum smuggling can be reduced
to a satisfactory minimum and "the
price Of liquor raised considerably
higher than at present" under the
present prohibition laws, Mrs. Mabel
Walker WilIebrandt, Assistant At
torney General In charge of pro-
hibition enforcement in the Depart.
ment of Justice told the Wheeler
Brookhart committee today inves-
ttgating the Department Of Justice
"A tremendous amount OF liquor
Is being struggled in" Mrs. Willie
brandt said, ''by rum runners. With
in the last few days about sixty
boats were off the coast on rum
row between Long Island, N. T.,
and Marblehead, Mass, where the
smuggling operation are conferred.
Crews Of these boats are carrying
on immense conspiracies with their
agents on Shore"
Tells Of Difficulties.
Difficulties experienced by the
Department were related to the
committee by Mrs. Willebrandt.
She declared 1t was her opinion
that the Government has the power
under the statutes to seize rum
runners within the twelve-mile limit
but the opposite opinion Is held by
other authorities, notably the State
Department.
Through its diplomatic correspond
ence for the past forty or fifty
years, she said, the Department hal
maintained the Government has M
power to seize foreign boats, unless
they came within the three.mil'
limit.
No Letters ny President.
Mrs. Willebrandt explained 1t wal
necessary at present to prove thu
rum'runners within an hours ruT
off shore. To do this, she ASSERTED
It was necessary to take into &C
count the speed Of the boat, its loca
ton and its violation of the law.
Close cooperation between the
coast guard and customs officials
she declared, was the best safe
guard against smuggling.
Mrs. Willebrandt told the commit
tee there was no record In the
Department Of Justice showing that
either the late President Harding OF
President Coolidge had written any
letter asking a stay OF sentences
for George Rebus. Cincinnati boot
1legger. now serving a sentence IN

Miss Wills served brilliantly but
was weak against Miss McKane'e
strong forehanded driving. How
ever, she made many excellent shots
down the line.
