'Anmmmmmm 0F GREEHVATED 755 Petition of Local Contractors | and Builders Still Before [* 'A.F.L.Head. - | The questlon whether President Wil- | Green of the American Federation Labor will use his offices 10 bring about arbitration of the demands of a number nl building trades unions for increases wage scales remained in doubt M.ly, no unnlu decision being announced in answer to the petition of local contractors and builders filed with Mr. Green. Representatives of the building tndes employers’ section of the local Builders & Manufacturers’ Exchange lnd the Washington Operative Builders’ ciation last Saturday dispatched an lp- peal to President Green to bring about arbitration of the demands for pay increases, declaring that such demand- ed wage boosts might delay Federal and District building programs, with loss to both union workers and contractors. Mr. Green conferred by telephone to- day with the office of the Builders & Manufacturers’ Exchange concerning the petition. In the absence of a state- ment from the president of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, Ross H. John- son, secretary of the contractors’ or- ganization, stated that Mr. Green sug- gested that he might call a conference of heads of building trades unions. Authority Only to Advise. Mr. Green made it plain, however, Mr. Johnson reported, that as the head of the labor federation, he had no au- ' thority to act in the matter other than in an advisory capacity; in effect, that he could not . ‘“dictate” to.the union heads in regard to the labor situation. President Green was said to have told the contractors that he was “very much interested” in the situation here aris- ing from the demands for higher wage scales, both from the point of view of labor and the National Capital, as they might be affected by the outcome of the controversy over the wage matter. Mr. Green was in Chicago when the petition of the contractors and build- ers reached his office Monday, and the matter has been before him since his return here Wednesday. It was said today that as yet he hasn't had time to make a thorough study of the matter. The labor federation head was to * | by the contraciors S e 'In the petition to Presid Green: men for the 'contractors and rs declared that whiic a’ number- building trades uniots had lomnlly ‘wage increnses, ruaning from zn per cmt. no. teasons; been ed for the requested increases, d that some union officials had ‘re- t\ued to submit, the matter to arbitra- tion. President Green was petitioned 4 builders to in- tervene in the maltlr to the exteat of bri eahout arbitration of the de- mands for higher pay. The Builders' and Manufacturers’ Exchange has stated that all its mem- bers have decided to refuse the pay boosts. Most prominently active local contractors are members of the exchange. Bullding trades empl?em of the ex- change will hold inner . meeting Monday evening at the City Cluh lor forming a general .committee 'of mem- bers of the building trades employes section of the exchange to handle the matters at issue. .
