TO take work, therefore
Resolred, That it would be inconsistent
to now recognize strike or lockout by ap-
pointing committee; and
WHEREAS, The members OF TINS
Exchange are fast filing the positions OF
their former employees, with non-union
workmen. whom we will not discharge, or
force TO Join unions; therefore
Rcsolred, That in our opinion, 1t
would be useless TO appoint committee,
as we do not think the members OF Local
Union No. 3 will consent to work with non
union workmen; and
WHEREAS, The present troubles
among men in the building trades is not
confined to the carpenters, but exists in all
branches of said building trades, therefore,
Resolrcd, That in our opinion, a
settlement with the carpenters
would not help the present state of affairs,
as all the trades are amalgamated, ana all
must be settled simultaneously, and Tor
these reasons and others, we most respect
fully decline at this, or any future time, to
appoint committee.
RcSOlrcd, That all negotiations looking TO
u settlement of the late strike are now
at an end, and that we notify our late
wOrkmen that we have some situations still
open. which will be given to those first APP

and not rs members of unions.
Respectfully yours,
ME- GIEsEY, Secretary.
