But one issue—more pay—tis concerned im the strike. By an agreement running for one year, which expired yesterday, the men received #50 for a day of nine hours. They now ask $5.00 for a nine-bour day. This demand has been who stand ~~ refused by the employers, fast on the former figures. Next to the posutbility of a general strike, which might effect building op- erations from Manhattan to San Fran- | @isco, is the throwing out of employ- | ment of the men, not ironworkers, who | had been employed on the forty build- | ngs that were building. Most of these ‘ulldings are in New York, but some may be found on Long Island and in New Jersey, as far away as fifty miles from this city. The number of men thrown out of work is hard to estimate, + But ft ts certainly large. The union has established headquar- ters at Forty-third street and Third @venue.
