A careful examination OF the Two sets
Of resolutions will show that the differ
ences between them arc not SO great that
reasonable men, working in the interest
OF u fair settlement, could not arrive at
such conclusion. The first resolution
was taken up. Mr.. Bernard klieves
moved that it be modified, providing the
men be paid by the hour. The Trades
Council Committee would not agree to
this, claiming they Ind the power to
modify the resolution, but it would have
to be submitted to their body in the
modified form before it could be ratified,
and the committee had no right to fix
the hours and pay without consulting
them. That being the case, the Exchange
Committee wanted to adjourn.
Vice President Schwartz proposed to
Withdraw both first resolutions SO far as
they refer to the carpenters and let them
work under the old rules. The Ex-
change would not agree to this, because
they claimed that the stonemasons
would not submit to this ruling. It was
finally decided that theresolptions num-
bered ! in both sets be laid aside. Later
the question arose as to what the effect
OF such settlement would be on the
stonemasons and others interested in the
strike, and the whole meeting went to
pieces SO far as order or sticking to the
question Was concerned. 4 The trouble
from beginning to end was talked over
in anything but a pleasant, mild-man.
nered way. Charges and counter charges
were made and tho feeling became I'm.
comfortable. It was developed that the
Council committees had no power 10
make any changes In the resolutions
presented by them, without submitting
such propositions to the union, and
that the other unions would have to set.
tie their own troubles as individuals,
An hour or more was devoted to talk
which had no bearing on the question
immediately at Issue, and would prob.
ably have lasted longer had not Vice
President Schwartz pulled out copy Of
the Exchanges constitution and bylaws
AID began reading from it extracts to
show that the Exchanges course has in
many instances been arbitrary. The
Exchange Committee objected to this
procedure on the ground that the by-
laws are private matters.
1t then came about that Mr.. Swartz
said the Carpenters Brotherhood did
not recognize the Builders Exchange:
that the only BODY they recognized in
this matter was the building Trades
Council, and there was au immediate
call for adjournment by member OF
the Exchange Committee. After this
Mr.. Roland said he could SEQ no hone
for settlement and that he also did not
want to SEQ = fight, and motion to nd.
journ prevailed.
President Roland sald that with the
trouble in tho shape it now is the
National brotherhood will furnish the
local union all the money they may
need to fight with. -,
