In connection with the forecast of mrther difficulties, over labor by the ilders and Maniifacturers’ Exchnnn of the District of Columbia, a meeting of the bullders’ adjustment committee of the association was held yesterday and it was decided to call a meeting of contractors interested to arrange for united resistance against increase of wages. The time of the mecting has not been decided, but it will be held at 2525 Pennsylvania avenue. Declaring that the exchange had been "ltndln& every effort to wlch the by various lding trades for increases in rates and a five-day week,” the letter calling the meeting said the exchange was “not in favor of any increase in any form whatso- ever. The amount of work and condi- tons in the District does not justity & raise at this time.” Government Is Target. “It hu been broadcast through the country,” declared the letter, signed by E. H. Rosengarten, E. A. Miller and C. O. Romberg, “that tremendous activ- ities and large expenditures of money by the Government, is being made and it to be made here. Organized labor has taken lenme of this fact.” The Iron Contractors’ Association in its statement claimed that a proposed lgeemznt for arbitration of matters in spute had been submitted to the iron workers’ union, but that the union had failed to reply to the last -.uoclluon correspondence in the matter. The posed agreement to set up a comm me was sent to both International Repre- sentative Carlisle, at Norfolk, and to Local No. 5, according to Johnson, man- ger of the Iron Contractors’ Associa- n. The demands of local No. 5 were for an increase from the scale of $1.50 per hour to $1.65 per hour for iron work- ers known as “journeymen,” and from $1.75 to $1.92!2 an hour for “pushers.” It was this demand which union rep- resentatives claim was met by the James Elkins Co., and, therefore, the men went back to work.
