FISHER & CO.,INC. 738 15th St. THE EVENING STRIKERS WILL GET §27.30 WEEKLY AID Union Jumps Benefit Pay-l ment From $5 to Strengthen Lines. Determined to support members of the painters’ union in a long fight against the contractors and employe and to extend their campaign in win- ning over the non-union men who have replaced them on & number of jobs, the local union today increased its strike benefits flve and a half times the minimum amount paid here- tofore. Not only will this amount, a week, be paid to the union STAR, WASHINGTON men, but a step heretofore not taken in Jocal labor fights will be insti- tuted by the payment of strike bene- fits to non-union painters who quit thelr jobs, it was revealed today. Last week the strike benefits amounted to $6 per man, with extra payments to married men. Follow- ing action by the Painters’ Union last night, every man in the union, from apprentice to the best mechanic, will recelve the $27.50. Approximately 220 union painters signed the strike roll yesterday. This will therefore mean a weekiy outlay of about $6.000 in strike benefits. William J. Gal- lagher, international organizer, who is now in supreme command of the local union, stated that last week the assessments exceed the amount of money paid out in strike benefits. He also said that as the local union was one of the wealthiest in the national organization, the payment of $27.50 to the union men and all non-union men who quit their jobs can continue for a considerable period. At a meeting of the painters’ union last night a report on the employing shops was read. The vote to raise the assessment on those men working to pay the expenses of the increased An Ideal Home 5244 Colorado Ave. The Most Refined Block In 16th Street Heights Eight large rooms, two baths, breakfast porch, sleeping porch on two floors, with lavatory. on first floor.

Equally determined to continue their opposition against any pay increase, the master painters will attend a meet- ing of the fair wage committee next week, at which further plans will be outlined by the operative builders and contractors. In answer to the threat of the union men to tie up bullding, six contractors who have heretofore refused to employ non-union labor have placed non-union painters work.
