NO APPARENT REASON — TO KEEP UP QUARREL MANY HOMES ARE Interests of the City Demand That the Master Trades Building Association and the Building Trades Association Get Together and Settle the Present Lockout. BY FRANCIS R. SINGLETON, | Is the question of $100 per day increase in wag paid to the 4,500 men employed in the building trades to be allowed to stand in the way of an agreement between | employers and employes and to r tard the construction of buildings now being erected? This question, which only means an individual increase of Sic per day, in the wages if concrete mix-| ers now receiving $250 per day,| ie all that te blocking a settlement) of the present labor difficulty There are about 300 hundred con crete mixers involved in the} trouble They work on an average about four days in the wwek. The increase in thelr wages would amount to about $100 per da: about four days in the week per day to each member of the Master Builders’ association. This is the basis for the action of the) contractors in attempting to sus pend operations and their refusal to meet the demand for the in crease was the cause of the failure of the joint committee to reach a/ settlement yesterday afternoon. No Protracted Fight. But Seattle is not seriously threatened with a protracted labor) struggle, deapite the feare of the contractors. The demands of the present situation make an extended | struggle improbable. Buildings in} the course of construction must be/ completed. They must be com-! pleted with the labor at hand. The present “suspension” did not throw any large number of men out of employment. Many of those laid/ off have found other employment Organized labor te not likely to} try to force a complete tieup of operations on the bulidings under construction by members of the Master Builders’ association by a strike. Organized labor in Seattle fs too wise to make such a move. Union men will be allowed to work on these buildings as long as union labor is employed and the union neale ia paid. On the other hand, the employers are not courting a protracted strug gle. The suspension of operations was followed by the announcement that unless the unions capitulated | work would be started Monday with | nom-union iabor. Last night, how ever, an interview was given ont to the effect that work would not be resumed long as any prospect for a settlement existed. Thus the threat of employing pon-union ta bor and tnviting a labor war was withdrawn by the contractors when the negotiations had reached « critical stage | Cannot Afford TieUp. » contractors cannot afford to face labor troubles at this time. | The public of Seattle want no la bor troubles, The building trades want no trouble and are | rilling to eign an ) agromme at for| © or more ye provided the or} The; | unions STOCK GENERAL DECLINES ida.)

NEW YORK, March 2. ypened with general declines, withir they regaf strength rallies Ste th was at | their concrete mixers are protected in scale, Under this combina tion of circumstances prolonged trouble fs improbable After the failure of the confer- ence of yesterday to end in a set- Ulement, the committee represent- ing the Building Tra j issued the first statement has come from the union side in the present controversy. The statement sets forth that there has not existed any such state of unrest in labor circles as the mas- |ter builders have sought to con- vince the public was the cause of attempted suspension of opera tions. The statement details the at- | tempt of the unions to secure from the contractors im the Master Builders’ association a three-year agreement, dating from January 1, 1907, and the faflure of the nego- tiations Referring to the suspension, the | statement says The Labor Side. This lockout took place last Mon- day evening and was, as far as the effects anticipated by the master builders, an absolute failure, for the total number of men locked out by that association was less than 226 men. We make mention of this fact in order to make plain the fact that when the members of the Mas- ter Builders’ association declare @ lockout, and out of a total of 4,500 men employed tn the building trades they do not control over 220 men, that they are ta no wise in a position to state to the public that they voice the sentiment of the employers of building mechanics in this city, and {t naturally follows that if the employers in the bufld- ing industry employing over 4,000 hanios are satisfied with exist- ing conditions, that those condl- tions are, in the opinion of the many just and reasonable and busi- nese-like notwithetanding the opin- fon and statements of the press committee of the master builders. | Bat in order to be entirely free from any responsibility that may result from an extended labor con- troversy that may develop from this uncalled for lockout, a committee representing the Building Trades assembly today waited on a com- mittee of the master builders and bent every energy to adjust the matter; and the Building Trades assembly is in a position to state that the master builders’ conten- tion regarding an unsettled labor market is not genuine, The wage proposition as submitted was satis- factory, with the exception of the ages of concrete mixers. The | master builders refused to concede [the jurisdiction of the Building Trades assembly over this class of labor, and there the matter rests.” The Master Builders’ association met at one o'clock this afternoon to prepare a statement to the pubile, me PANIC IS ON AGAIN ng off 4 quarters In 2 in ih on the Bor in Berlin account of advices from be irse ng shares dropped & Ohto and Penn- 5, and Canadian 1 ke entire day, “us condition.
