CONTRACTORS REJECT PEACE
PROPOSALS OF MEN
Carpenters yesterday made the
Contractors a definite offer to arbi
trate their differences. The offer
was ignored, which puts responsibil
ity for continuation of the strike
upon the shoulders of the contract
ors. The carpenters handed the con
tractors a statement declaring that
the mediation meetings had revealed
the principal differences as follows:
One permitting the use of any man- 1
ufactured material on Chicago build
ings regardless of the fact "that it
might be shipped in here from pauper-wage
or child-labor factories.
Another refering to the demand
for a 5-cent increase in wages.
Another refering to the date of ter
mination of the agreement.
It replying to the first-mentioned
difference the contractors are mak
ing a play of the federal indictment
this week of contractors and keep
ing " :ab materials out of Chicago. A
5-ccnt wage increase is denied. The
contractors insist that the new agree
ment shall end May 31 instead of
April 15.
In past agreements have always
ended April 15. The contractors
want this date changed till May 31,
for the later date is just at the be
ginning of the dull season when, car
penters would be at a disadvantage if
they ever wished to strike.
Employers of structural iron work
ers have hinted that they are willing
to grant some of the demands, but if
the workers do not accept their com
promise they will be locked out next
Monday. A lockout of the ironwork
ers would tie up work on the Lake
st, Jackson blvd., Webster and Bel
mont av. bridges, the recreation pier
and a new pumping station in slip C
in city work alone.
Plastering laborers yesterday sign
ed a satisfactory agreement with
their contractors.
Hodcarriers and building laborers
are facing a lockout threat from the
Building Construction Employers'
ass'n. The hodcarriers signed a sat
isfactory agreement with the Mason
and Builders' ass'n, which is not affil
iated with the B. C. E. A. The B. &
B. ass'n granted the hodcarriers the
desired raise of 5 cents in three years.
