"The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Tuesday, April 10, 1906 CARPENTERS NOW WANT HIGHER WAGES The carpenters have demanded an increase of 5 cents an hour in wages, the advance to take effect June 1. They are now paid 40 cents an hour for eight hours work. The demand will most likely be discussed at the next meeting of the Master Builder's exchange. It is also rumored that the plumbers will ask for an increase of wages, although no one will say for certain that the report is true. Plumbers now receive $4.50 a day for eight hours.
