These I include carpenters, painters, plasterers, |t?to. Their return has been made posj sible by a decision of the -Master I Builders' A.social ion to sanction, the rej sumption of work In cases where conI tractor* i"lt that they had sufficient materia! to go on with. Work has consequently bern ref-iimed on various city I contract*, and some of i'ar. 'builders' «bops are al.-o rec-pening. On tie other hand there arc some less fortunate builders who <liv not have a reserve of material on hand when the strike commenced. They are preparing to await th.-> reopening of the T.irrfber milk, and the provision of frroafer carting facilitic- before resuming their stationary wnrk-=.
