Expressed By " Building Council " ' "While evidence of any .back-tracking was not visible late Saturday, Monday, Is sure to produce some more or less Interesting development to the contro versy between the member of ' the building trades council and the master builders of the city. Yesterday after noon Corresponding Secretary J.M. Maughlin. of the buildin trades coun cil, issued a statement which; :, very clearly defined the attitude of-organized labor "regarding the 20 per cent reduction in wages which the. master builders proposed putting in effect March 1. Monday; being the last day of the present wage agreement, some developments may be expected to take place then. -.'v . s A walk out by sympathetic union ized workers may be expected 'if- em ployers put the proposed lowered wage scale into effect and hire men at wages below the scale existing through Mon day. This means that if members5 of the trade, quit and refuse to work at wages they deem too low, and oilier men' are hired at the lower wages to replace them, then other unionists . not directly affected may quit work out of sympathy for those directly concerned by the wage reduction. ' . ; There .is no sign of any weakening on the part of either party to the con troversy; in fact, the visible' signs are those of determination. The unionists have stood firmly against lower wages since the master builders announced what is approximately an all around reduction- of 20 per cent in the pay schedule some time ago. And while the master builders, the contractors and employers, are doing little talk ing, it is easy to ascertain their atti tude they are going through with their reduction program" according; to schedule. At the regular meeting of the build ing trades council Thursday ..night, unanimous action was taken in favor of standing for the present scale of wages of each craft. "Also that any Bontractor who attempts to hire men at less than 'the. present scale will be considered unfair to organized labor and rall union men; instructed :not' to accept employment with same contrac tor at any price," says the statement of Secretary Maughlin. The statement -further asserts that communications have been received from the building trades at Asheville stating that they are taking the same action and quot ing the present scale of wages in that city as follows: Carpenters, $7; plumbers, $9; electri cians, $S; sheel metal workers, IT. and lathers, $8. - Union workers contend that costs of living have not been reduced suffi ciently to enable them to ' accept ; a marked cut in wages,, whereas builders take the stand that' retrenchment is due and that all concerned must stand , the- gaff. '.. . ' - It is on this basis that the fleht is waged, and Tuesday promises to bring some rather interesting developments. JOHN BARLEYCORN SENT THEM AWAY FROM TOWN Influence of J. B.' Evident in Re corder's Court The influence of John Barleycorn prevailed in recorder's court yesterday morning, that is it prevailed sufficient ly to give certain parties extended va cations away from the noise and tur moil of Wilmington. Recorder Harrisa sent 'em . away from here following conviction under various phases of vio lating Mr. Volstead's well written statute.

Notice of an appeal was filed and bond in the sum of 500 was named. ; - Ammle Carter, blind negro man, who unseeingjy sold a pint of the ardent to Detective Falrcloth. of the pjaln clothes squad, Friday morning, could do little other than plead, guilty, and he was sentenced to serve a term of 12 months In the county jail, to' be N hired out by the county commissioners. Carrie Foster, mother of seven chil dren, inhabitating the same residence as Ammle, also got twisted up, in the charge and she went ' out there for a term of nine months at the direction of the judge. Thus, from one house ; hold John Barleycorn sent nine charges to ibe county, as the children must be cared for during tae . incarceration of the mother.' . v ; . . . i ,. ',s ,. Andrew S Stevens, negro, fetched " & .friend two quarts of pop head on the freight , train on' which he ' flags '- or brakes and the railroad detective nabbed him. .' Transporting old J. .
