"Glatzle to Basel"

Almost entirely concerned with the problems of building. He lost his first set of building apprentices because he was too tough with them. The second set he has been more successful with, but now they want more money, and are choosy how much work they will do, and are very irregular in attendance, using family excuses to have days drinking. Troubles are threatened in the town because most of the ordinary day-labourers are no longer needed, and they have become used to having money. The craftsmen who remain on the site have an idea of their own value, and are constantly trying to obtain more money.
