FRESCOPAINTERSU UNION.
Because OF the absence from the city OF
many members OF the Fresco Painters
Uuion, the attendance at last nights semi
mouthly meeting was rather small
Little business was done further than
the making OF an amendment to the bylaws
SO that five members Will in the future
constitute a quorum. The next regular
meeting Will be devoted to the semiannual
election OF officers.
The members Of the union have chartered
the tug William H Mohler for next Saturday
night and a score or more OF them viii
enjoy an excursion down the river during
the evening.
BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.
At last nights regular meeting of the
Building Trades Council in the hall at No.
627 Massachusetts, avenue, COmmuniCa-
ton from Typographical Union, No. 101, +,
was read relative to the boycott sometime
ago Instituted against Kcrnan's Lyceum
Theater, and which the Typographical
Union is said to have raised so far as it is
concerned. The letter was written for the
uurpuSe of learning the council 5 attitude
on the subject.
The reply of the council was that the
trouble with the theater occurred before
| the organization of the council and the mat
ter was referred to the locals constituting
the council.
The organization committee reported
| that il found one union man at work on the
new church building at the corner of Four
| teenth and CoTcoran streets and he is
receiving union wages Mr.. Farrell, of
| Second and streets mort rtheaSt upon whom
| the committee waited, said that he had no
| knowledge that Hogan Brothers We're pay
| ing less thanuniOn wages, but that he would
| look into the matter at the next step taken
| in the erection of his new house
| The committee also made the report that
| Contractor Conner for the stair building
| of Mr. Shugrue's new house at the corner
| OF Fourteenth and U streets had refused to
| employ union stair builders. The car
| penters quit Monday on that account and
persuaded the plumbers to go out with
| them.
A move is to be made to find the attitude
| of contractors and builders generally to-
ward the union. For this purpose a com
mttee was appointed TO secure the names
| OF all those who Will agree to employ only
union carpenters and Stairbuilders. Pub
LEGATION will be made of the list.
The major portion of the long session
was devoted to contemplation Of proposed
! changes in the constitution and by la ws
| Of the union.
