Herbert Hoover’s successor, who func

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
“SNOWBALLiNG" BY
WAGE EARNERS SAID
CAUSE OF STRIKES
New York.—Ninety-five percent of the
strikes and 75 percent of th*: days of Idle
fltsa In the building trades in trie past
have occurred through what i* known
as "armwballing" or controversies be
tween wage-earn err. themselves as to
which trade should do the work, nays
Franklin T. Miller, president of the F.
W. Dodge company and formerly Di
rector of the Division of Public Wo-.dc*.
and Construction of the United States
Department of Labor. Only 5 percent
he declares, hav* been on questions be
tween employer and employe.
Mr. Miller, who has been in touch with
the construction Industry in this country
for 25 years, cited the case of a big Chi
cago hotel costing millions, the work on
which had been delayed, b** said, more
than a year because of a disagreement
between skilled workers as to who should
handle certain doors because of the pre
pun dan co of metal overwood. This h(:
said wan an inevitable consequence of
tho rapid development of tho industry.
Analyzing thesituation and the duilding
outlook for 1920, Mr. Miller said:
“The creation of a Hoard of Juris
dictional Awird by the United States
Department of Labor, a board composed
of architects *vj-;neera. contractors,
material men and wage-camera, promises
1 solution of one of tho most difficult
In Dor problems in the building industry.
A# a result of it decreased cost of con
struction may be expected. The Hoard
of Jurisdictional Award has been for
mulated with the full approval of all
Interests concerned who seem to have
entered into it without reservation.
"Tho labor outlook In the building in
dustry thus promises a condition ot
greater stability during the coming year
because of the organized dealings be
tween employers and employes, with full
recognition of the term contract and
arbitration principles.
'The first serious labor troubles in the
building industry," said Mr. Miller, in
i.-vl* wing the national construction
shortage, "occurred in the latter part of
October I.MH. thro 11'th a strike of car
penter* on government work In Brooklyn
In violation of the Baker-Oomners agree
ment, a pact between the War Depart
ment and the American Federation ot
Labor. This strike was settled by n
compromise ear y in March, 1919, but In
meantime it threatened a sympathetic
nation-wide strike of tho building trades
and held up construction, not only in
New York hut made it uncertain through
out the land. Other labor troubles
sprang up throughout the country, no
tably !n U-hlcago, where the whole build
ing ‘ trade was tied up from July to
September. 1919". Since then conditions
have improved but there would not be
complete harmony in the building in
dustry he indicated until the Federal
Hoard of Jurisdictional Award began to
function.
"From April 1919. to last July the Mai
Department, through ‘’olonel Arthur
Woods ns Special Assistant to the Sec
retary of War, engaged in the active
promotion of public works In order to
provide tobs for returning soldiers . con
cluded Mr. Miller. "Then it appeared
