Labor Situation.

- For the present employers engaged in erecting structural steel
knd iron have help sufflcient for their contracts, but as an
extraordinary number of new works are scheduled, there is
some apprehension of not having men enough in May and June,
when these must be manned. In general building lines, 1906 is
naturally destined to be the banner year in New York City, all
authorities agree, should there be no disturbances of magni¬
tude. Brick-handlers, both on the Hudson River yards and on
the city wharves, are making demands, with some threats,
upon the manufacturing interests, and for a crisis are counting
on the bricklaying unions here to support them by refusing to
lay Hudson River brick.

But sucb action on the part of the bricklayers would be quite
without precedent, and builders have not considered it as even
a possibility. The class of men who talk of striking for higher
wages on the brick yards are locally termed "locusts," and are
for the most part negroes temporarily from the Southland who
do the most laborious part of the work, and have never hitherto
pretended to be union men. A mere brickyard strike by almost
penniless laborers is not likely to be of long duration, or of
itself to affect building In New Tork.

Union No. 37 of bricklayers fell into line with tbe otlier unions
on the flreprooflng question last Friday night, and has signed the
same agreement with tbe Mason Builders' Association, Except
for bickerings between dual unions, there is no sign on the
shore of a storm on the industrial sea, and all the ships that
pass carry signals of peace.
