M. 'Auten, contractor, at which about 45 men engaged in this line of work were present to discuss the price sit uation and the readjustment. It was decided to put into effect beginning March 1st a ten per cent reduction in wages from the present scale. There has been , a decline in building material and living expenses so the carpenters decided to put into effect this wage, reduction voluntarily in order to show their willingness to "tote fair" with, the public and they pledged themselves to keep wages in fine with living expenses and other Commodities, r : r ; ,-. . .-. - w-The carpenters decided , to adopt three scales of pay, this to be deter mined by th experience and compe tency of the carpenter. The carpen. rs readily agree to the classification iecause they feel . that" It is fair to 'themselves and the public that the jsost skilled . shall 'receive the best jay. while the beginner shall re ceive a smaller wage. ir;:-? They of course took no steps to 'egulate the wage for brick masons, plasterers, common laborers and oth crs engaged in the building trade. It U expected that the meeting o Fri day night will result in the organiza-' tion of a carpenters-union in bnelby andMr. Auten says the purpose will iot be to "strike" as most people are nclined to believe a union is organiz ed for, but the purpose will be to larmonize the work and the already fripndly relations existing fbetween he public and the workmen. foil.
