LABOR ROW
ACTION

The Department of Labor finds
no necessity for intruding in the
local building trade difficulties
brought about by the demands Of
labor unions for increases in wages
and the five-day week.
The situation here is working out
harmoniously, with both the labor
unions and the employers showing
every desire. to get together and
iron out their own troubles, Charles
Bendheim of the bureau of concllia.
ton Of the department declared to.
day after having made study of
local conditions.
Davis Gets Request
Bendheim was assigned to the
task after President Hoover rad
referred to Secretary of Labor Davis
a request by e. III. Rosengarten that
the Federal Government intervene
in the dispute because of the inter.
est which naturally it would take in
view Of the $4,000, 900 building pro.

ll6 hdSl6E fASSOtIdtIOHs
Settlement of the local dispute
seems to be working out nicely
according to Bendheim, and there
seems to be no chance that there
will be any break which would
necessitate the entrance of the Fed
eral Government into the situation.
The various local unions are ne
gotiating their demands direct with
their employers, Bendheim said. and
under the circumstances there is
nothing that the bureau of media.
ton and conciliation could do.
Ready To Act
Bendheim said that the depart.
ment will, however, keep in, touch
with the situation here in case any
unforeseen trouble should arise
which would warrant its stepping
in as mediator.
Statement that the Federal Gov.
ernmeflt finds no cause for irterfer.
ing follows closely on the expires.
sion Of opinion by labor leaders that
there is no reason why any outside
agency should be. called in the wage
dispute.
John B. Colpoys, labor leader. said
yesterday that the union men have
never threatened any trouble and
that all they are seeking is an in
crease I'm wages which will enable
them to make up for the losses
which they have suffered during the

there was depression in the build
