One of IL firms whose prof.
ects are involved in the work
stoppage settled differences with
the AFL District Painters Union
Council No. 81 yesterday and

to resume work for the COM
pany.
A meeting between represent
atives Of the 10 other firms and
the council failed to settle the
dispute. Joseph Hillock. union
representative. said.
Mr.. Hillock said the union
members refused to go to work
Monday because of a long stand
ing dispute with the contractors
over payments to the unions
welfare fund. Mr.. Hillock said
the firms are delinquent in their
payments by about $4,000 and
the men will not work until the
payments are made.
A spokesman for the Arms said

requiring payments of about
$4,000 to the welfare fund
The suit also asked for $200, ,00C
