In a letter'slgnrrl by David Cotitts, sec retary of 'the conference, the Builders' exchsnre and tbe Real Estate exchange have been notified of this ruling and have been esked to take cognisance of It to save themselves Inconvenience and em barrassment. The Omaha Real Ertate exchange a week ago laid the matter on the table. The Builders' exchange still has this letter on file. , , t llblsttna r:ntl'" I Builders and contractors object to the demand that union lit-latln engineers must be employed. They maintain that almost anyone with a few hours of prac tice can run a hoisting engine on a build ing Job. and that there ts no occasion for clssslfying this Job as highly skilled labor to be graded on a union scale. The scale tbe conference Is attempting to fix for these hoisting engineers Is M cents an hour, fit the Builders' exchange has asked the allied conference to drop this request With this condition they have offered to give the bricklayers 16 cents an hour tglntring with July 1. The bricklayers Jiave not yet accepted the proposition. If they do not accept It and the build era do not agree to their -terms of the 75 cents an hour unconditionally, s strike Is said to be imminent. Major It' H.
