Gaaklll. of the Atlantic Ounty district, attempted to have a conference with the representatives of the Ocean City Maater Builders' Association here Uet Wednesday night. The business session of the build era continued so long, however, that It waa Impassible to hold the eou-

ference.

Members of the Carpenters Union say they will delay action until the master builders have conferred with them. The carpenters' leaders say that, rather than cause trouble In the building lines at this time, they are willing to agree to a compromise that will be as near satisfactory as conditions will permlU.
