$300 00 0 TS THROTTLED AS UNION ARS UN Plumbers Strike on Big Elec- tric Plant Because Steam- fitters Do Other Work, ° “4 Patrick F. Kenny of Yonkers, the ii plumbing contractor on the $#0,000,- : 900 plant of the American Electric Pa Light and Power Company, at Hell|* Gate was the first witness before tho | at. Lockwood Commitice on Housing to-| » day. | 4 Mr. Kenny said he expected to fin- ish his part of the worlt (An $85,000} job) before Christmas, 1921, The plumbers struck because Almirall & ©o,, steam-heating contractors, had as part of their steamfitting job, $60,- 900 worth of plumbing. The plumb- | ers union held that #ome of the work | done by Almirall's union steamtfitte should have been done by plumbers. | “T have no control over the delay | on the job," he said. - “Nothing that | 1 do or failed to do brought on the strike. It was a quarrel between untons. As a result of it there is no water in the sanitary ‘systems, none in the fire lines of that $30,000,000 plant. Mr. Kenny said he appealed to the} President of the International Union controlling both plumbers and steam- fitters. The President ordered tho “: plumbers to go back to work for Mr. Bee Kenny. The New York local dis- obeyed the order. = “The Building Trades Council sus- nee pended the local for striking without ro ving notice. ) of “Mr. Kenny says he has lost $25,000 and has been discredited in his trade. ere He is to be put off the job this week. fac Meanwhile he has lost all opportun- hey Qo to do other work. DFO ~ “I'm a consistent union man, alt Mr, Kenny, ‘‘and I have been all my ited ife.. My two sons are members of ee this union, I know this, that if a vote could be taken in open meeting the men could come back. But a handful of arbitrary officers have brought me to this finish after twenty- seven years. “I saw some of them here yester- day and I took them one side and said: ‘For God’s sake, boys, don’t put me out of business on account of our quarrel with another con- tractor’s steamfitters!’ ‘They answer- od me, ‘Oh, forget it! No plumbers wre going back on that job. Juan Almirall, President of Al- rirall & Co., told his side of the in- cident. He said that the plumbing work Incidental to the $165,000 steam- ‘itting job was done by union plumb- ers, under a licensed plumber, one Gelz, But when a 3-inch water line was 4. by some steamfitters the plumb- rs then struck. Mr. Almirall and John V. Imhoff, who followed him, are both under in- dictment, with other steamfitters and anion officers for combining to fix prices illegally and limit competi- tion. Both waived immunity on the understanding that no questions would be put to them affecting the atters for which they, stand in- dieted. ‘Mr. Imhoff is business agent of the steamfitters union. Im examining witnesses Mr. Unter- myer suggested the possibility that dther trades refuse to work with the plumbers until they submit to arbi- tration, Mr, Untermyer said the com- mittee could hardly encourage a gen- eral strike, even to “‘bring the plumb- ers to reason." ‘Mr. Imhoff said he did not believe Ré.rank and file of the plumbers’ union ‘knew what the trouble was all about.” But he said he didn’t know what could be done to relieve Mr. Kenny. Fred Deegan, Timothy Hopkins of the Plumbers’ Union refused to waive immunity, though not under indict- ment. Mr. Untermyer promised to limit his questions to the Hell Gate matter and begged them to let the publle know the plumbers’ side of the dispute. They flatly retused to waive James Morrisey, Recording Secre- tary of the union also refused to waive, but was put on the stand. Mr, Untermyer incidentally learned that: William H. Chapman, who had hoen convicted on charges, went back to the union as business agent; Mr. Untermyer sent word to him to resign ov-prepare to stand trial on another indictment, Chapman resigned, but Mr-—Morrisey’s testimony disclosed bimas a member of the plumbers’ “jnrisdictional committes" to settle the Hel!
