IL BRICKLAYERS GO
ON PROTEST STRIKE
Leave Boiling Field Job When
Non-Union Carpenters
Are Employed.

Union bricklayers employed by the
Minter Holmes Corporation in the
construction of an officers mess at
Boiling Field walked out today in a
sympathy strike with union carpenters
who quit work 10 days ago
The action was ordered by the
union, according to the quartermaster
Office at the post, after the con-
tractor had brought in non-union car
penters to replace those who had gone
On strike
Officers at the air station said the
contract under which the mess is
being built provides that Minter
Holmes Corporation can employ
either union labor or obtain workers
through the United States Re-employ-
ment Service. When the union car
penters walked out, it was said, the
contractor asked the Re-employment
Service to supply workers.
This was done and the bricklayers'
union ordered the sympathy strike
Only three or four carpenters and
II bricklayers are employed on the
job. according to Army officers.
Meantime efforts to negotiate new
wage agreement and settle the car
penterS' strike were pushed forward
by Howard T. Colvin, conciliator of
the conciliation service of the De-
partment of Labor.
New developments were expected
momentarily, but it was uncertain as
to what the outcome of negotiations

the Master Builders Association con-
tinued to reoffer $1.10 an hour for
an eight-hour day.
The action of the Washington
Building Trades Council in giving sup
port to the carpenters added strength
to the strike, as it held threat over
the heads of contractors who may
have been contemplating the use of
strikebreakers to do carpenter work.
Under the new policy of the Building
Trades Council, the members of eli
crafts affiliated with the council will
refuse to work with strikebreakers.
The carpenters strike dragged out
into its tenth day today, delaying
construction on public buildings and
rapidly bringing several structures to
the place where they will have to
suspend certain work until the car
penters come back on the job.
One outstanding effect Of the
strike today was apparent at the new
Department of Justice Building, where
dedication ceremonies were to be con-
Quoted this afternoon without the
benefit of the usual comfortable shad-
ed stands for distinguished speakers
and invited guests. The ceremonies
were to take place in a courtyard Of

New Type of Institution

The psychopath. DR.. Lind said, must
be accepted for what he is-incurable
and a menace to society, but not
necessarily deserving punishment. The
eventual solution of the problem, he
said, may come with the establish

Jali nor hospital. in the accepted
sense of the words, but a miniature
