Davis TO Meet Heads.
Secretary of Labor Davis will re-
turn to Washington Tuesday after
q brief vacation in Illinois and will
begin series Of conferences be-
tween representatives of the two
unions now fighting each other. a
mass Of data bearing on the matter
has been prepared by Davis assist
ants and the departments concilia-
tors in New York and Chicago are
keeping him daily informed Of the
progress OF the labor trouble.
Union men admit the plasterers'
strike was of more than surface
significance. Reports indicate that
more than $4,000, 900 worth af
building construction in several
cities has been matted because of
the refusal of the plasterers to con-
tinue work. The plasterers look
stand against their more powerful
rivals, the bricklayers' union.
Washington building operations
are not likely to be delayed or
halted by the jurisdictional dispute
between the plasterers' and brick
layers unions.
So far only fourteen plasterers.

fourteen men had been placed in

Mr.. O'Brien makes It plain that
the local will follow. orders given

planned the Fuller men were called
out because Fuller had incurred
the displeasure Of the national
order in some OF their out-of-town
operations.
Despite the poise with which the
local union leaders have met The
situation, it. is admitted at the De-
partment of Labor that the situation
is extremely grave, and that Sec
retary of Labor Davis is devoting
much of his time to its solution.
1t is known that reports are being
received from agents OF the de-
partment in many cities, and that
q conference will probably be called
In a few days.
Mr.. O'Brien says the reason the
situation here is not so serious is
because there are practically no
pIasterers in the local bricklayerS
union. He explained that the
trouble grew out OF the fact that
1t has become the habit of plaster
ers to join bricklayers unions in
those towns where there were not
enough plasterers to form union
