Whereas: Plans for said buildintr
require employment of strictly union
labor and union made material as far
as possible, and further the pastor
of the church showed his interest in
the cause by urging the justice and
aiding in every crisis.
Therefore, be it resolved by the Co
operative Trades and Labor Council
that we cordially indorse the course
of the congregation and pledge our
selves to reciprocate in any movement
in aid of i-aid congregation.
A copy of the letter which was sent
by a messenger to John Steiger, a
member who holds a withdrawal card
from Machinists' Union and who was
assaulted, was submitted to the coun
cil by delegates of the Machinists'
Union. The letter was read and from
the tone and the manner in which it
was signed left the impression by
some who do not know that trades
unionists had something to do with
the assault. On motion the actions ox
the parties responsible for the outrage
was condemned by the council, and
the council wants it understood that
the trades unionists and the labor
unions hud nothing to do with the
case.
Stanley Ogg, who was appointed to
represent the council at the meeting
of the Social Unit Plan, which met in
Cincinnati, Ohio, October 23, submit
ted his report. The report gave a
lengthy review of the meeting and of
the community spirit planned and
recommended to the council. The re
port was received and approved.

They also enjoy the unique distinc
tion of being the first city in the
United States to have a universal
wage scale.
The differential which has existed
for years between the carpenter and
bricklayer and many other trades has
been wiped out and all are now on a
par and each trade in Chicago is now
on the same footing as the other and
apparently entitled to as much money.
Immediately following the action of
the committee in granting the car
penters a wage of one dollar per hour,
the other trades presented their de
mands for the same rate which was
immediately acceded to by the Exec
utive Committee of the Building
Construction Employers' Association.
The committee did not believe those
trades were entitled to the increase
any more than were the carpenters,
but they did believe that if the car
penters were to receive one dollar per
hour that the other trades were justly
entitled to the same rate, and, con
sequently without hesitation, prompt
ly agreed to give it to them.
The following trades were therefore
increased to one dollar per hour from
the rates prevailing prior to the dif
ficulty:
Carpenters Old Rate $0.80
Ornamental Iron
Workers .80
Cement Finishers" .80
Lathers .80
Marble Setters .85
Glaziers .85
Slate Tile Roofers .86
Composition Roof
ers .77%
Structural Iron
Workers .87%
The following trades in Chicago
have been receiving a wage of one
dollar per hour since July 1st, last:
Bricklayers, Electricians, Gas Fit
ters, Hoisting Engineers, Steam Fit
ters, Tile Setters, Plasterers,
concerned."

Delegate Stanley
Ogg.
Submits Report of National
Social Unit Convention
Close observation of the Social Unit
plan of community organization, the
purpose of which is to mobilize demo
cratically the entire resources of th
community for the discovery and
meeting of common needs, is being
urged by Delegate Stanley Ogg, who
has just returned from the National
Social Unit convention in Cincinnati,
and who submitted his report to
Trades Council Tuesday night.
"The great redeeming power of the
cities and this nation is to spring up
from the hearts of the people," said
Brother Ogg. "In Cincinnati we saw
at close range how democracy, reduced
to terms of neighborliness and un
selfish interest in others for the good
of the whole community, has been put
to work to stimulate a healthy con
dition of thinking along progressive
lines and actual participation by all
of the people in the direction of com
munity activities."
Brother Ogg
described
the
Unit as a plan for democratic com
munity organization applied on the
basis of small, geographical units in
which all of the people are given the
opportunity of speaking and acting
upon every matter of community in
terest. This type of organization in
the experimental
are i
has proved that
greater interest .•• 1 better team
work on the part
the people as a
whole, is possible.
At the beginning of the Social Unit
experiment the Mohawk-Brighton
District, which was selected as the ex
perimental area, was divided into
thirty-one blocks. There are approx
imately 12,000 people in this area, and
each block or neighborhood contains
about 100 families.
A-
early as pos­
sible in the experiment, its funda
mental principle of democracy was
expressed in a mo.- intensive way by
the 31 block elections, in which every
person more than 18 years of age was
given an opportunity to participate.
The people of each block then selected
by ballot seven representatives, who,
meeting together, comprised the block
councils. The members of the31 block
councils thereupon e.vh -elected a
leader or xeeutive. thi* executive

the most commendable manner with
the various skilled professional
and
vocational groups working within the
neighborhood.
"Just how this type of machinery
has been utilized, both by the people
and the doctors, nurses and other vo
cational groups," said Brother Ogg,

ose Campaign
For New Members Is Prov

Some time back Fort Hamilton
Lodge, Loyal Order of Moose, decided
to inaugurate a campaign for new
members. As the grand lodge de
creeed that this should be the last
chance for those desiring to become
Moose at the low fee of $5.00, the
local lodge decided that this should be
a REAL campaign—one that you read
about only occasionally.
It was decided that the

have been going some is putting it
mild. Up to October 1st, 300 appli
cations were repox'ted, and then it was
decided that 200 more should be ob
tained by November 15th. This mark
was easy and has already been reach
ed, and it is believed that the number

ANTI-STRIKE BILL
Before Senate Will Hand
cuff and Ga£ Workers
If Passed
Washington.—The Cummins rail
road bill has been favorably reported
to the senate by the committee on
interstate commerce. It provides for
the return of the railroads to their
owners and penalizes striking raProad
employes by fines not exceeding $500
or six months' imprisonment, or both.
In addition, any individual who in
duces, counsels or procures the com
mission or performance of ar. act
made illegal under the anti-strike
provision shall be held guilty of a mis
demeanor and subject to the s tmc pen
alties as a striker. Under this pro
vision any one who insists that the
anti-strike act should not bs ac :epted,
and if this sentiment developc 1 in a
strike, such opponent of the hvv
would be equally guilty \vt i tho
strikers.
As a member of the comn itiec on
interstate commerce Senator Laroi
lette announced that he dissented from
the committee's recommendati .ris and
stated that when the comnv'ttee (ik\i
its report he would submit a mmoritv
report.
The proposed law also provide- fov
the creation of several boards and one
committee. These are to be known a?
the transporattion board, regional
boards of adjustment ar.d a committee
of wages and working conditions.
The transportation board ia abso
