trades Of the United states and
Canada with a most perplexing
problem. These builders point out
that in order to cope on a warranted
basis with the present high wage
structure. contractors are demand.
ing a maximum Of efficiency from
all building workers.
This requirement automatically
mas begun to hold the confines OF
construction work to mechanics up
to the age Of so years. This condi.
tion has brought about an elimina.
ton process through the rapid Re.
turn to normally of construction
activities throughout the country,
Today in practically all the large
cities Of the United States ana
Canada. with the possible exception
OF New York city, there Is a large
surplus of building mechanics who
are unable to find employment.
Most OF them have just passed the
60.year-old mark and seem unablee
to persuade the building contractors
that their craftsmanship, gained
through years Of experience, should
offset any medimun OF sIowpess
that generally accompanies Father
Time on the job.
Opposition to the establishment of
the five.day week is voiced bv oscs :
w RoEenthal, president Of the
builders Association of Chicago.
Hosenthal, who Is clagsed az Ar
authority on labor matters in the
construction industry, points out
that reduction of working hours
each week from A hours to 10 hours
VIII not aid any unemployment that
may exist among building workers
he said this is one OF the conten.
lions of the labor representatives
seeking the inauguration OF the five.
day week. RosenthaI asserted that
representatives Of the building trades
nave always maintained that the
wage rates for their craftsmen
should be high because Of the time
lost through the seasonal nature
OF the construction industry.
The establishment of the five-day
week only adds to the investment ex.
pense, and this naturally has to be
paid by the person who il the pros.
pective building owner" said Mr..
Rosenthal.
President William Green. Of the
American Federation Of Labor, in his
advocacy Of the five-day week, saws
that the shorter week for the labor
ing man would aid in his spiritual
uplift. On the other hand, the
representatives OF the organized
building workers set forth the arru-
men that the five-day week VIII aid

The Washington times., 1929-09-07

The result OF this survey shows
that the trend Is rapidly swinging
to the shorter work week and that
al this time approximately rs per
cent of the building mechanics of
the country are now working on
the basis of the 40-hour week.
Officials OF the building trades
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor estimate the member.
ship of the organized building
trades workers in the United States
and Canada at 100000. 1t is
estimated that already approx
mately 100000 building trades
artisans are employed on the five.
day-week basis.
15O,00O In New York
The motivating force and back
bone of the five-day-week movement
is furnished by the building workers
OF the metropolitan district of
New York, where it is estimated
10000 are so employed. Another
$4,000 of the five-day.week
workers are Pittsburgh mechanics,
and the remaining $4,000 are
Journeymen trades that have pro.
cured the 4o.hour week in Individual
trades units in other cities.
Most of Chicago's 10000 build
ing trades workers received wage
increases late this spring and early
summer. There was some talk Of
then E4O-hour week when contracts
were being negotiated, but this
agitation was shelved for the time
being when the trades were given
substantial wage increase.
Chicago builders are now giving
the 4O-hour week consideration
and some decision on the subject
Is expected soon.
Wage rates for building workers
throughout the United States are
the highest in history. New York
taking the lead with the $1.S7h
rate paid to bricklayers. The wage
rate for this craft will be increased
on the first of the year by a few
cents and the contract will then
remain in force until 1882.
The plasterers in New York are
at present receiving $1.75 all hour,
while in Chicago both the brick
layers and plasterers have negotiated
an agreement for S1.70 an hour.

terers, painters and fathers are the
four trades that are the pioneers in
