Union Row Over Nonunion Carpenters On Mayor Sullivan’s House
Walking delegate Baker of the Carpenters Union claims the new residence of Mayor Sullivan on the northeast corner of Tennessee and Michigan is built by nonunion carpenters. The six workers say they hold working cards while dues arrears cause the union to class them as nonmembers. The mayor, architect Sherer, and contractor Yagel plan a meeting with the trades council to resolve the dispute. The union asserts the men lack active membership and dues, while the contractor defends employing them.

He said grades set by the city engineer explain the slight decline and that standing water and ridges result from heavy loads, not faulty construction. He praised the pavement as a banner job and dismissed criticisms as ridiculous.
