From Alexandria, Coleman was taken

were being checked.
Coleman told police he was driving
new automobile from Detroit to
Richmond for friend when he was
halted by the pair.
A uniformed man, he first thought
was a policeman, waved him to q.

INTERIOR BUILDING
PLASTERERS OUT
107 Leave lob, Demanding
25.CentS.an.H0ur In.
crease in Wages.

Completion of the new Interior De-
partment Building, scheduled for this
Fall, was threatened today as 107
union plasterers, who went on strike
yesterday for 25-cent-an-hour in
crease in pay, remained of the job.
James Buckley, business agent of
the Operative Plasterers and Cement
Finishers' Union, Local SO. explained
that an agreement with the Employ
ing Plasterers' Association, providing
a scale of $1.75 an hour, was signed
several months ago to give the 25-cent-
an-hour increase and went into effect
August IS. The contractor on the In
terror Building, however. declined to
abide by the scale on the ground he
was not a member of the local associa-
ton, Buckley said.
He contends all other plastering con-
tractors, including those on the Ar
chives Building, the Agriculture De-
partment Building, George Washing
ton University. the Zoo. jobs at GUAM
tico, Va, and others in and near
Washington, are paying the associa-
ton scale regardless of whether they
are members, Buckley claimed. The
scale for union plasterers was $l.75
until about two years 60. when it was
reduced to $1.50, but the increased
cost of living made the $1.75 scale
justified, Buckley contended.
Floyd Jennings, contractor for the
Interior Building plastering. said he
had never had official notification in
writing of the increase in the scale,
and had an agreement with the inter-
national union to pay the $3.50 scale
on all jobs started before June /,
1886. The Interior Building plastering
was started in February, he said.
Il have never refused to pay SITS
an hour to the plasterers, but want
official notice Of what the union
wants Verbal statements are not
binding in these cases."
The usual written agreements, he
said, require 80 days notice of an ad-
vance in pay scales The plastering
work is expected to be completed by
November 1.
A strike also was called at the adult
tuberculosis sanatorium at Glenn Dale,
Md. being erected by the District, but
only three men were affected, Buckley
said. The new rate has been granted
on all projects here except the Interior
and Glenn Dale buildings, he stated.
