Building Trades Need
Amalgamation
BY a Worker Correspondent

CLEVELAND, May 19.-The build
ing laborers who have been on strike
for an increase from S71a cents to 81
dollar have gone back to work at the
old wage scale.
This leaves the painters and GLACIERS
to continue the struggle alone. Altho
number of independent contractors
have agreed to pay the new scale, the
employers association and the cham
Der of commerce have prevented any
break in the ranks of the large en-
ployers.
Business Agent surrenders.
Charles B. Smith, business agent
of the Laborers' Union, appears to
have been frightened or persuaded by
the chamber of commerce to adopt its
position that the strike was an at
tack ION the community" as he is.
sued a statement to the effect that
building in Cleveland must continue
If the city is to progress. Our action
is taken in the interest Of the com.
munfty. Furthermore, IL public feel.
ing insists that the downward trend
of costs makes a boost unjustihable
in 1897, we shall, as in this instance,
abide by that public feeling"
The threat of the chamber of COM
MERGE to bring the question of a strike
before the grand jury is believed to
have had considerable influence in
lining Smith up with that body.
Concentrate on Painters.
Since the defeat of the laborrers the
chamber of commerce has redoubled
its efforts against the Painters Union.
II is publishing paid advertise
ments which state:
This strike is being waged against
you. 1t is your rent that will be
raised. If you are doing any paint
Ing, decorating and paper hanging,
stop 1t. . All the forces which
defeated the Isborers' strike should
now be concentrated on defeating
The painters strike.
Lack of Unity Aids Bosses.
The lack of unity in the labor move
ment here has given great encourage
ment to the open shop interests and
If the painters are beaten general
attack on Cleveland labor can be ex-
pected.
Especially in the building trades
must the work begin for contracts
ending on the same date for all unions
so that a united front against the
bosses can prevent such unnecessary
and shameful defeats as that suffered
by the laborers.

jacent country, the dispatch said.
Villages were swept away beyond
Maungdaw, fifty miles from the sea.
All cattle in the affected areas
were killed. according to the dis
patch, and nearly all telegraph lines
between Burma and India were cut.
Gables were seriously interrupted.
There is great suffering in the

List Rises to Nineteen
Motor Changes Blamed
for Delay in Trials.
By Vedder Gard

The cars for the 500-mile Speed
way race on Monday are fast enough
when they get on the track in the
big event. but. oh, how slowly they
come up TO the wire to qualify for
the speed classic. Only nineteen
cars have qualified in the two days
of elimination trials.
1t looks as though Odls Porter, of.
fetal timer. is going TO have to get
up early Monday morning to accom-
modate some of the drivers who
have been unable as yet TO get their
mounts ready. The Duesenbergs are
late again. Some Of the others are
having their troubles.
Again this afternoon another op-
portunity was given Rhe en-
tries to become official starters by
making the required average speed
of So miles an hour for four laps
ten miles.
The slowness in qualifying is
caused largely by the new motor re-
quirements which call for a 911s
inch piston displacement instead of
the 122 inch of last year.
Many little things coming up on
the new jobs have caused the me-
chanics long hours of work as they
endeavor to prepare the cars in
time for the start at 10 a. m. Mon
day. Such is always the~Nssse- when
requirements are changed and old
cars must be revamped and new
motors tested out.
Six more cars qualified Friday,
with Cliff Woodbury. in a Boyle
Valve Special showing the best
speed, an average of 1O5.1O9 miles
