The building crafts are beginning to see the use»essness of pulling apart. The bricklayers and carpenters unions have joined hands and will pull to gether in the future. Articles of agreement have been signed wherein it is agreed In-it union carpenters wiil riot work in thn future on jobs where non-union bricklayers are employed, nor will union bricklayers work cn jobs where non-union carpenters are employed. A committee has been forr.ied, cot sisting of four bricklayers and foui rarpeijters, whose duty it is to per form any service that may be rcquin rt of them. Any member of tne.se allied trades who violates any of the agree ment is to be tried by the joint com mittee and if found guilty will be fined $5.00 for the first offense and a sum up to $100 for any offense there after. This is the first step in What is con sidered the forming of a building trades council in the near future, wherein all the building crafts will join. It is now up to the plumbers plasterers, lathers, painters and dec orators to get busy and join hands for the mutual benefit of all concerned.

The postal employees indorsed th bill introduced in the senate by th Honorable George H. Moses of Nev Hampshire, which calls for an increasi of thirty-five per cent to all posta employees. It is a well known fac that the wages paid postal employees are about fifty per cent lower thai that paid in other employment requir ing the same amount of skill and dili gence. The present wages are such that they will not permit of the base necessities of life and as a consequence they are carrying a burden that is fast becoming unbearable.
