AGREE TO NEW WAGE SCHEDULE Bricklayers’ and Masons’ Action Held Wedge. The Bricklayers’ and Masons’ Union and the Hod Carriers’ and Masons' Tenders' Union have agreed to anew wage scale, according to a statement Issued today by T. Barlow Hatfield, president of the Building Contractors' Association of Indianapolis. Although these two uuions did not Join In the general walkout of the Building Trades Union they are a part of the Building Trades Council, which ordered the strike. The decision to accept a cut in wages is expected by the employers to have an effect on the other unions. Mr. Hatfield's statement Is as follows: "The Bricklayers' and Masons’ Union, whose contract did not expire until May 1, 1921, have signified their willingness to accept a wage reduction for the year ending April 30, 1922. of 80 cents rer day. Likewise the Hodcarrlers and Masons' Tenders Union have agreed to a wage reduction of 40 cents per day for the same period. “These two unions have apparently seen the trend of the times and are willing to accept lower wages in order to lower building costs and stimulate building. And while these two unions did not come under the Building Trades Council mandate to strike April 18 on account of their contract not expiring until May 1, they are members of the Building Trades Council and as such are subject to its rules and regulations. "The Bricklayers and Hodcarrlers. while accepting the wage reduction above set forth, have not yet signified their willingness to accept the terms and conditions of the uniform contract terms of which contract are now under discussion between the bosses and union men. ’’The Building Contractors' Association Insists that certain restrictive clauses be eiemlnated from all contracts, including bricklayers and hodcarrlers. and Is standing their ground In making operative, reasonable contracts between all unions and the contractors, in order that building work may not be hampered in tbe future. “1 am optimistic as to the outcome of the negotiations that have been going on with tbe bricklayers and hod-carriers and believe that proper working condl. tions will be Incorporated in the contract agreements and with the wage reduction, expect that harmonious relations will be established between these two unions, the Building Trades Council and the Building Contractors' Association.”
