BIG CONSTRUCTION
STRIKE IS AVERTED
PIaSterers Ready to Return
to Work-Bricklayers
Will Not Quit.

A threatened tie-up in the construc
ton industry of the nation. involving
several hundred million dollars worth
of building in many OF the larger
cities, has apparently been averted.
Although efforts by large contrac
tors to get officials of the bricklayers
union to submit to arbitration with
the plasterers union have failed, the
plasterers were ready today to sign
an agreement which would result IN
the more than 10000 men of that

of the Bricklayers, Masons and Plas

standing the attitude of the plaster
ers' organization, unless developments
on charter rights in Florida justify a
strike.
BrickIayers to Continue.
Late yesterday there were indica
tions in New York that a strike of
bricklayers might result from the de.
cision of the plasterers to return to
work. Today it was declared the
bricklayers will continue their work
on the construction jobs of the nation
regardless of the action of the plas.
terers, unless they are further aggra.
waited by what they claim to be in.
roads into their organization jurisdic-
ton in Florida.
The dispute affects 80 900 plasterers
nearly 100, 900, bricklayers and masons
and about $500. 900 900 worth of con-
struction work in the United States.
The history of the trouble dates back
to more than a year ago, when d
steadily expanding business boom
struck Florida, and members of the
Operative Plasterers and Cement Fin
ishers' Association, attracted by the
climate and steady work. went to
Florida into competition with the
members of the bricklayers' union,
which also included many plasterers.
1t spread slowly, until on June
Edward J. McGivern, head of the
plasterers, sent out a, telegram or
dering his men off the jobs of the
George A. Fuller Co, the Thompson
Starrett Co. and the Longacre Con
struction Co. Later they were ordered
off all jobs undertaken by contractors
who were building in Florida.
Not Trade Dispute.
The dispute was described as an or.
ganization jurisdiction dispute, and
not trade jurisdiction dispute. 1t
does not involve wages. hours or
working conditions, but simply the
right of the bricklayers to lay plaster.
Heretofore, the two union cards had
been interchangeable. but the brick
layers claimed the plasterers invaded
their territory in violation of the
agreement of 1911 defining the juris-
dictional rights of each.
The fact that McGivern has called
off the strike started on June was
viewed at the Department of Labor
today as in line with the proposal
made to both sides in the controversy
three weeks ago by Secretary Davis
