the builder* ogreed that tieginntng with

with the same rate o| wage* which
were then !>dng paid, fI.TT. to £1 a lay. It
was to remind ttiem of thl promi*#* that
the resolutions were drawn up by the
unions.
One of the officers of the Exchange who
was seen said that the Exchange will
*tan#l where It stood during all of the
i iiii troubles la>t sp:lng It will grant
the nine-hour day as It promised, and will
pay the scale of wag< which it made at

paying, but It will not recognize the

The Builders Exchange will have a

"When Col. Obear was a candidate for
