THE MASTER TRADESMEN engaged in Build-

as it is evident that great misapprehension exists among many
of the workmen as to the nature of.the declaration which they
are required to make. They hope that its publication may
terve to remove those wrong impressions which are, they fear,
kept up for interested purposes.
