ACTION OF BOSSES MAKE LABOR
WAR SEEM SURE
The official declaration of war of
the Building Construction Employers'
Ass'n against the building trades
unions came yesterday with an order,
to lock out allunions who fail to sign
the "uniform "agrement" when their
present contracts run out. All sym
pathy strikers are to be locked out
also.
' The action of the boses puts the
next move up to the union men. They
have already made their stand
against the uniform agreement They
will strike.
The employers want the union men
to sign an agreement along with the
unions affiliated with the Building
Trades Council, dominated by Simon.
O'Donnell. This contract would take
away from the unions the right jto,
strike for better conditions or to aid,
a brother union in trouble.
Disputes under the uniform agree-'
ment would be settled betwen the
Building Trades Council heads and
the atts for the employers, putting
the business agent out of power. Thei
unions are, in most cases, not askingj
a raise or better conditions, but wish,
a separate agreement "with each contractor.
