IN BUILDING
LOOMS.
Trouble Between Bricklayers
and PIasterers Threaten to
Become Nationwide
By international News Service.

NEW YORK, July "a nation
wide tie-up of building operations.
involving 81 900, 200, 900, was threat
ened today by the bitter war he.
tween the bricklayers and piasterers
unions as a result of the failure OF
the unions to amicably settle their
differences and submit them to arbi.
tration.
over the single issue of, ''iurisdic-
tion'-there being no dispute over
the question of wages, working
hours or other conditions.
The crisis followed the, rejection
by the Bricklayers' Union Of Secre-
tary of Labor Divis' suggestion
that it arbitrate its jurisdictional
dispute with the plasterers.
Secretary Davis suggested the
dispute be referred to a board of
arbitration of five members, two
to be selected by each side. and
the fifth by President Coolidge, t1r
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor.
Both unions are members Of the
federation. The Bricklayers' Union
has 111,00O members, the Plas.
terers' $4,000.
In addition to the present $1,000
900. 900 program throughout the
country that is threatened, an adj
ditional $4,000, 900, 900 worth of
building operations for 1925-1926 is
in jeopardy.
The controversy began a year
ago in Florida, which has been con-
sidered as the territory of the
bricklayers.
The plasterers formed several
local unions in that State. Under
a union agreement the plasterers
in Florida were to be members OF
the bricklayers union until their
locals expanded to the point where
a separate organization was war
ranted.
The plasterers now charge that
the bricklayers were trying to
absorb their union, and the trouble
has spread to other States where
big building operations are at an
impasse pending settlement OF the
DISPUTE.

able dame sat in front Of me at

She was all wound round with
strings Of pearls, and down the
