The Building Trades Section Of the Central

favor Of the organization Of a National building
Trades Council, rs suggested by the National
Marble WOrkera' Union at itg last Convention.
The delegates thought a National Council would
be too unwieldy, and that there was not enough
enthusiasm among the building trades workmen
Of the country in favor Of such a project, A few
Of the delegates favored a State Building TRADES
Council. II, however. there should come n time
when the building wnrkmen OF the country should
see the necessity Of banding together In a Ma
tional Union for the furtherance Ut their commOn
interests they declared they would be quite will
ing to take the Initiative in forming such an
organization. Delegate Fitzgerald announced that
next Wednesday he would read a paper showing
why an independent building trades council
should be formed in this city.
