The Carpenters Answer the journal"

1He CRrPeHteFs AHHWeT tH0 JUuIHH'
President James Anderson, of Local
Union 1872, United Brotherhood OF Car
penters and Joiners. indignantly denies
the charge printed in last Saturdays
journal that his union neglects its sick.
He says that the individual who COM
plains did not comply with the rules of
the organization by notifying them when
he was taken sick. 1t is the rule Of the
carpenters TO pay from the time of notifi-
cation, and consequently the grumbling
member only goU one weeks benefit,
weeks if he had complied with the rules.
AS the carpenters have an unusually
large sick list this winter they have to
look out for the interests of these, and
at the same time carefully prevent any
who are not justly entitled to benefits
from obtaining them. IL
