over the Rumely plant in their efforts

shop" demand but this spring, acting under the instructions of the international officers, the brick masons
joined with the carpenters in a similar
demand. So far the contractors who would be effected have not acted on
the edict of the two unions. Work Non-union Men.
It Is said there are about twelve con
tracting firms -which are engaged in
building construction on an extensive
scale and about half of them have been
employing non-union carpenters. .
Two of the largest contracting concerns, the Miller-Kemper company and
the V. H. Juerling company, withdrew
from the contractors association about a year ago when it was decided not
to hold a conference with represents
tives of the carpenters union for the
purpose of discussing the demand for
a closed shop. .
It is understood that the contractors
association will reach a definite decis
ion on the combined demand of the brick masons and carpenters unions
before the end of the week.
At the present time Richmond is in the midst of a brisk building, boom and
a strike which would tie up the operations of at least half of the contracting concerns would be of serious consequence. It is believed a satisfactory understanding can be reached, however, without the necessity of calling a walkout. '
