Cr WAGE SCALE MET " ON SCHOOL JoBs| Three Contractors Notify Commissioners, Indicating | Victory for Local Unions. | | ‘Three contractors e ing District schoois District government that they are pay- ing their workmen the wages promul- gated by the Commissioners as the pre- valling wage scale under the Bacon- Davis act. The scale is_approximately the same as the union labor scale for all of the building trades The firms are the W. P. Rose Con- | struction Co. of Geldsboro, N. C.: A. Lioyd Goode of Charlotte, N. C., and Charles S. Bannette of Philadelphia These firms are engaged in buflding the Woodridge addition, the Paul addition and the Stoddard School. ‘The notification from the Goode firm said that the payments were being made under protest, but the other two notifi- cations were without comment ‘The present development indicates a victory for the local unions in com- pelling contracting firms from out of the city to pay union scales on jobs undertaken here, thus lessening the chance for the importation of chea labor. Its further significance is prob- ably that more of the school jobs in future will go to local contractors, since the out-of-town contractors will not be able to reckon on the differential in labor costs which previously existed.
