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.
