July 24 The strike of the plasterers at the Lillard building build-ing en Fourth South and Main streets which was caused by tho refusal of rjastor-plasterers to agree to employ none but union men. has now spread over the entire city. Yesterday 12 rout rar tors, representing twenty-four big jobs and a score of smaller jobs, were notified that the plasterers would not return to work unless the demands of the union were granted. The non-union men employed at these Jobs were designated as plasterers' plaster-ers' helpers and were receiving from y 50 to $4-50 per day. The demand of the union was that all men. whether wheth-er hod carriers, mixers or wheelers, should receive $4.50 per day and all carry union cards. Frank Doran. plaster contractor for the Lillard building, last night said-"I said-"I think It is one of tho most serious seri-ous strikes we have had here. It Is not serious from the plasterers' standpoint stand-point alone, but from the fact that present Indications are that the strike will spread to all of the affiliated unions in the Building Trades council coun-cil This strike affects only about seventy men in the city and twelve contractors. The contractors held a meeting yrsterdav to devise aye and means "tor controlling the conditions," added add-ed Mr Doran. "Just what plan was devised 1 cannot give out. but you cen sav that tho plastering Job on the Lillard building is going to be finished fin-ished and finished without much d3 lay A.s yet the strikers have appointed ap-pointed no time to meet the contrac- trrs aud we have appointed no uu.u to meet them. Tbe work will go on, however, and If the men who carry union cards do not care to wjL0. the. work some one else will ine , contractors are not going to bo , bossed bv the Building Trades council coun-cil They gave us no alternative. It was simply a ease where we had to do as they told us to or fall out with them." |
