The carpenters walked out at noon
yesterday to enforce their demand
that they, and not the plasterers'
helpers, be given the work of build
ing wooden horses used on the job.
A second strike, most aspects of
which had apparently been settled
involved laborers who were setting

McCloskey firm said that the metal
fathers had disputed the right of
plasters, carpenters, bricklayers and
others to do all of this work.
Sources at the Labor Department
and the local Building Trades Coun-
Gil said this dispute had been settled
yesterday. However. the Procure
