AU articles neatly 3 President Samuel GOMPei* and First Vice President James Duncan of the American Federation of Labor returned to federation headquarters last evening from New York city. They went to that city in an effort to bring about an adjustment of the com plications in the building trades, in pur suance with the instructions of the execu tive council, issued at the recent quarterly session in this city. The Master Builders' Association and the Carpenters' Council, composed of the three local unions of the United Brotherhood ol Carpenters "and Joiners of America, ar* about to enter into an arbitration agree ment. Under the terms of such agreement all disputes arising in the future between employer and employe of the carpenter trade will be submitted to arbitration, without suspension of work. Representatives of the builders and the carpenters' organisations were to hav held a conference last evening to affix their signatures to the document. The confer ence was postponed, however, until a later date, it having been deemed advisable to await the outcome of the present nefot1*-" tions looking to the consolidation of the Brotherhood of Carpenters, Joiners, etc., and the Amalgamated Society of Carpen ters and Joiners. When the consolidation is consummated, the arbitration agreement will be binding upon all carpenters organi sations In the city. The preliminaries for the consolidation are now being arranged by the officials of both organisations. A temporary agre?" men* has been drawn up and it will be tested for one year, from January 1 next. If at the close of the coming year the temporary alliance proves satisfactory and makes for the mutual benefit of each or ganization, a permanent agreement will D0 formulated. , _ President WlllISm D. Huber of the broth erhood. at the close of the conference, gave out a statement to the effect that there is no doubt in his mind that a permanent consolidation will be effected at the expira tion of the temporary agreement. At that time a Joint convention will be held. Presi dent Huber is quoted as further staling that the agreement will be complied with by both unions throughout the coming year and that there is no doubt that the good results will dispel all opposition to a per manent organization. As far as can be ascertained, President Roosevelt has not yet taken any action In the controversy between the American Federation of Musicians and the Marine Band and other enlisted musical aggrega tions of the United States service, over the acceptance by the latter of private engage ments. President William J. Kerngood of the local organization, acting in the capacity of an official representative of the Ameri can Federation of Musicians, several days ago dispatched a letter to Secretary Moody of the Navy Department requesting infor mation as to the action of the President. Although President Kerngood has not yet received a reply to his communication, it is believed President Roosevelt will act favor ably to organized labor. The local union muslplans held a meeting Sunday at their hall at 9X0 Pennsylvania avenue, at which time nominations for the officers for the coming year were made. The nominations follow: For president, William J. Kerngood; vice president, L. R. Boyd and G. W. Sunderland; recording sec retary, E. C. Lander, Jr.; financial secretary, J. W. Meyer; treasurer, William 8. Crown; board of directors, John N. Pistorlo, John Elbel, Emll Blown, William A. Donch, A. E. Waller, Chris. Arth, O. M. Lelmbach. Henry Jaeger, C. P. Hfcustis and C. V. Samuels; executive committee, James C. Callan, Carl Neuman. O. C. Campagna, A. E. Knowlton. Henry Nieumann. J. H. Sauls man, J. H. Goocli, C. Hazenmeyer. M. W. Esberger, Benjamin Sullivan, W. W. Green well. Joseph Beaman and William Hoz berger. The election will be held Jan uary 3. An organization similar to the National Building Trades Alliance, of which Presi dent George Gubblns of the International Union of Bricklayers and Masons Is presi dent, has been formed among the builders' associations of the various cities of the United States. The employers' association was formed at a convention held in Chi cago. 111., about ten days ago, and will be known as the National Building Trades Employers' Association. The body is composed of associations of contractors engaged in the building indus try. state organizations and central organi zations in cities. Individual trade organiza tions, where there is no central association, are to be represented by state bodies. W. D. O'Brien of Chicago was elected presi dent; H. G. Gilllck of St. Louis, first vice president; Thomas H. Doane of Providence, R. I., second vice president; C. J. George of Detroit. Mich., third vice president; E. M. Craig of Chicago, secretary; S. Keighley of Pittsburg, treasurer. The executive com mittee is composed of one member from each state, territory or district represented in the association. Mr. James L. Parsons has been named as a representative of the District of Columbia on the executive com mittee of the association. The objects of the association are de clared to be to promote and protect the Interests of its members and to maintain Just and equitable treatment in their rela tions with each other and with their em ployes. To the end that the confidence of the building trades may be sustained and that continued and uninterrupted prosperity in the building industry may lie assured; to encourage the formation of the association of contractors in every community in the country, all in strict conformity with the Constitution and the laws of the United States; but there is no intention, nor shall there be any action on the part of the asso ciation to control or in. any way deal with prices or restrict competition. The first resolution, adopted by the con vention, embodied the eight cardinal prin ciples which will form the basiB of all deal ings with the employes of the members of the association. Those principles follow: 1. That there shall be no limitation as to the amount of work a man shail perform during his working day. 2. That there shall be no restriction of the use of machinery or tools. 3. That there shall be no restriction of the use of any manufactured material, ex cept prison-made. 4. That no person shall have the right to Interfere with the workmen during working hours. t 5. That the use of apprentices shall not be prohibited. . i! 6. That the foreman shall be the agent of the employer. 7. That all workman are at liberty to work for whomsoever they see fit. 8. That all employers are at liberty to employ and discharge whomsoever they see fit. The relations of labor and capital were discussed at the convention at some lengtn, and the attitude qfc the President of the United States In the "open shop" contro versy was heartily in&brsed. It was recited in the second resolution adopted that the unreasonable demand#' of 'organised labor made'during recent yeart,"' threatening the constitutional rights guaranteed to the citi zens of the United States,' have increased to such an extent tha*!they have become a Ll _ _ ? _ a* ??"> 11 The good quality of it.Is not the result of accident.

For such reasona 'the asso ciation resolved that It "recognize In the attitude of the chief executive of the United States a growth of public sentiment on this question which should lead to a just solu tion thereof," and that "we heartily In dorse his decision in maintaining In the government service the principle of the opjen shop." Delegate James L. Parsons, who has just returned to Washington from the conven-. tlon, is of the opinion that the building In dustry Is on the verge of a financial depres sion. He formed this opinion after ex tended conferences with contractors from all parts of the country assembled at the convention. A referendum vote Is being taken among the members of the Brotherhood of Elec trical Workers on a proposition to become affiliated with the newly organised Nation al Building Trades Alliance. The result of the vote will be announced within the next few weeks. At a recent meeting of the local Sheet Metal Workers' Union, No. 102, officers for the ensuing six months were elected as fol lows: President, R. G. M. Ross; vice presi dent, M. Morris; recording secretary, D. C. Childress; financial secretary, Thomas F. Ryan; treasurer, Joseph A. Daiiey; con ductor, W. House; warden, M. Ash; busi ness agent. Thomas F. Ryan. Local Union No. 190, Brotherhood of Car penters, Joiners, etc., has elected officers for the ensuing years, as follows; Presi dent, H. J. Hollohan; vice president. John Dinneen; financial secretary, F. J. Nledo manski; recording secretary, Charles Scherer; treasurer, J. M. Hurley; trustee, J. D. Wilson; warden, George W. Crocker. The Installation of officers will take place the first Wednesday in January. President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers has sent out a call for the next annual convention of the organisation, which Will be held in Indianapolis, Ind., commencing January 18. The International Union of Bricklayers i and Masons has established a death benefit fund. At death of members In good stand ing for six months $100 will be paid, and to those in good standing five years or more $200 will be paid. The bricklayers and masons were one of the few large unions not having such a benefit. The proposition was submitted some time ago to a referen dum vote of the membership and carried by J a big majority. It Is rumored that the Flint Giassworkers have decided to reaffiliate with the Amerl- \ can Federation of Labor. The proposition to return to the ranks of the federation was recently submitted to a referendum vote. , The United Garment Workers have begun a crusade on the sweatshops of Pittsburg. The law governing the making of garments requires that they be made on the premises where sold or in specially built factories. In these the Pennsylvania statute pre scribes a required space of each floor for one person. v Chicago trade unionists are making prep arations to test the constitutionality of the law enacted at the last session of Congress, which prohibits persons suspected of having views opposed to organized government from entering this country. The arrest and threatened deportation of John Turner, the English trade unionist, hr.ve called atten tion to the law, as his case Is the first to come under It. The unions in New York city are also taking the matter up. The English tailors, according to the Weekly Bulletin, have the credit for being the first to offer organized resistance to Industrial oppression, and hence were the pioneers of modern trades unionism. As early as 1721, In the days of the handicrafts, j there was a union of tailors In London ' numbering 18,000, and they went on strike for better conditions of employment, not withstanding the acts of parliament that outlawed such combinations, made strikes a criminal act and limited wages by law. This Is the earliest recorded strike of any consequence, and although unsuccessful. In spired the tailors and other wage-workers with a spirit of revolt that gave the im- I petus to the present labor movement and secured for the workers a better standing in society, the removal of the ban under which unions were placed and the repeal ing of the laws by which wages were regu lated by the local magistrates. This his toric strike so Incensed the masters that they sent a committee to parliament with an appeal reciting their grievances, charg ing the journeymen with conspiring to In crease their wages beyond the legal rate, with having formed, unlawful combinations, threatening the peace of the community, discouraging industry, encouraging indo lence and setting a bad example to other workmen At a recent meeting of late Printers' Union, No. 2, officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows President, Henry W. Szegedy; vice president, William D. Llessler; secretary, J. P. Murphy; financial secretary, Edward L. Schrack; treasurer, Daniel J. Logan; inspector, Thomas J. Din nean; inside guard, J. J. Shanahan; out side guard, Frank Harrlty. Executive com mittee: T. A. Rooney, Y. D.. Harbaugh, George Thurber, Henry F. Patterson and S. E. Beach. Auditing committee: R. L. Grace, Charles Rich and Thomas King. Trustees: Arthur Small, Charles T. Smith and William D. Liessler. Organization com mittee: R. E. Doyle, J. A. Hardie, R. A. Montgomery, H. A. McPhate, William Wright, T. A. Lynch, William Kennedy. Edward Sill and J. C. Spencar. Delegates to Central Labor Union: Charles T. Smith, James Burdette, Patrick J. Sheehan. Fran cis McKenna and John J. Cavanaugh. It is stated that the refusal of the local organizations of plumbers and interior marble workers and helpers to sustain a sympathetic strike ordered by the Allied Council of Building Trades on several large jobs about a month ago has disturbed to some extent the local harmony which has heretofore existed among the trades or ganizations. The alleged offending unions having been suspended from the council, that body has requested that Similar action be taken by the Central Labor Union. The matter Is being considered by a committee of that body, and a report will probably be made at the meeting of the union next Monday evening. It is stated that the council amended Its order of suspension In so far as to request the Central Labor Union to suspend "all building trades represented In the Central Labor Union and not affiliated with the Allied Council of Building Trades." While the resolution does not specify the organisations affiliated with the Central Labor Union and not allied with the coun cil. It is said that it applies to the local or ganisations of bricklayers, stone masons and stone and marble cutters. At the last meeting of the Central Labor Union that body refused to Immediately accede to the request of the council and postponed ac tion thereon Indefinitely. Whether this ac tion of the central body will end the long standing contention between the organisa tions named and the oouncil relative to affiliation remains to be* seen. The matter Is of general Interest to local organized la bor, particularly those oomposing the coun cil of building trades, as It Is asserted that the general Interests of the local trades re quire the co-operation of all the building organisations, and that so long as unions remain unaffiliated the purposes of the council cannot be fully accomplished. The unions not allied. It Btated, maintain that an alliance which subordinates an organisa tion to the absolute control of others, par ticularly In ordering a strike, tends to fo ment trouble for which an organisation Is not accountable, and which In many in stances Is the result of hasty and unwise action of an affiliated body. Raymond Turner, a ten-year-old colored boy, found a dynamltq cartridge near his home at Langley, Va., yesterday afternoon and exploded it with a stom.
