Motp men ‘will recetve employment in all branches ef construction than ever before, and the wo-year war between employers and employees will receive a deathblow, The foregoing statements are made by men high in authority in thelr va+ y rious Hines, and are borne out by the atajistics which the Bureau of Bulld- ings ‘has compiled, \Dhe differences between the Thomp- gon-Starrett Construction Company and the, Building Trades Employers’ Asso- elation are by no means settled, but both sides deny the assertion in a morn. i tng paper to tho effect that their dif- ferenoes are paralyzing the ‘advance of construction throughout Greater New f York, War Really at an End, That the long and disastroys conflict Detwoen builders and their employees, which has waged with varying success and vicissitudes since 1903, is practl- cally at an end {s conceded by almost all those in a position to know, Abting Supt. Bernard J. Gorman, of the Bureau of Buildings, gives statisti- al proofs of the restoration of confi- Genee among capitalists, and the atti- tude of the employees: “Plans and specifications for new bulldings,” said Supt. Gorman, “have been coming in at a lively rate ever since the first of the year, An Infinitely laryer number of buildings ts going up all over Greater New York, If bulld- ers had not the best reasons for confi- denoe that the war ts at an end, and that the unions are conciliated, no such y quatitity of plans would have been filed with us, Hera are a few figures to prove this: Show a Big Increase. “ty January, 194, we rocelved plans for only thirty-olght buildings, at an estimated aggregate value, of $1,452,400; for nuary, 19, we recelved plans for 197 Hulldings, at an estimated value of 97,058,850; for the entire twenty-nine-day Month of February, 1904 we received only sixty-four plans, while for the first twenty-five days of February, 19%, we have recelved 109, “Builders would not go to the trouble and ‘expense of having all these plans made out and filed unless they were very sure that work on the structures Was golng ahead without a hitch, Dur- ing 193 and 194 the progress of tho , ‘wart made Itself felt Ina marked fas). fon on the number of plans filed with us," YP, K, Stephenson, Building ‘Trades Y of the Assocla- over the prog- son, ilding plang al- says Secretary m contractor Secrotary loyers' ready fled for Btephenson, “every o: m to artisan, has a bo ance to-day than tor the past ten , Plans are on file for many million dollars’ worth of buildings, ameans good employ- ment for 100,000 workmen, Industrial peace his practically arrived and 's here for a stay.” F.
