CARPENTERS COUNCIL.


The principal part of the business trans
acted at the last meeting OF the Carpenters
Council was the hearing of the reports of the
committee on the Baum and Lansburgh Jobs.
Several new jobs were also reported which
was thought could be made strictly union if
the builders were notified before tine contracts
were given out, which will be attended to.
The question of all of the organizations in
the council becoming affiliated with the
Federation OF Labor was discussed. Tho
organizations not represented IN that body
stated they had always been willing 20 con-
meet themselves with the Federation, but for
some cause or other they had been objected
to when they applied for admission several
years ago. hence they felt delicacy in ap-
plying again. They were willing, however,
10 send 4 communication to the Federation
asking If they would be admitted If they
again applied.
There is a movement among the union
printers of this city TO start a cooperative
printing Office. Messrs. T. II. Padgett, A. l.

Galbraith. J. B. Dickman, A. s. Fennell, G.

penters, the proposition ofthe Amalgamated
Order of Carpenters and Joiners, also the
brotherhood OF Carpenters, to make applica-
ton for affiliation with the Federation of
Labor was heartily indorsed, and the dele
gates to that body instructed to favor their
admission. Discussion was also had on the
coming Eleventh Annual Convention OF the
American Federation of LABOR, which is to
be held next month, and the desire was ex-
pressed that the local federation of the city
should be represented.

WANTED TO RUN A LOTTERY.

The Solicitor Advised That it Was
Best Not to Start One in Savannah.
A travelling lottery agent called at the
Office of the solicitor general yesterday
and asked ad vice with regard to starting
sort of lottery wheel in the city, which
he said always paid the investor the
amount of his ticket, 10 cents, in some
article, which, he said was worth the full
price wherever it might be bought.
MIR Fraser advised him that it was
against the law, no matter what the ma
ture of the device, if it involved the risk
ing of any money. Under the advice of
the solicitor he was unable to take out a
license. 1t seems that the man had APP
piled at the solicitors Office earlier in the
day, and had asked the assistant, Mr..
Salas, what ne could do about the matter.
Mr.. Fraser had been informed of this.

he first called?" Mr.. Fraser asked of Mr..
Salas.
