FOR NATIONAL UNION.
PROPOSED FEDERATION or ALL THE
BUILDING TRADES.


A Counon which VIII Be Similar TO the
Americas Federation Of Labor-H. w.
stsinbiss ON tho Plan-Ohjects That WIN
He Obtained.
A national federation Of building
trades is about to be formed. The prof.
ect had its inception in st. Louis, aud
the headquarters of the federation will,
it is believed. be located in st. Louis.
The National Building Trades council
will be to the building trades unions
what the American Federation of Labor
aims to be to the different organizations
under its jurisdiction. 1t is claimed by
the Building Trades council Of st. Louis
that, while the interests Of the building
trades are morally and theoretically
identical with all other labor unions.
practically and technically they are sep
arate and distinct While it Is easy to
help garment workers, cigar makers,
printers, tobacco workers and kindred
unions by insisting upon the use Of
union labels, there can be no union la
bel in the building trade.
Closer affiliation and union under one
banner and jurisdiction are urged then
as the crucial necessity for the adequate
protection of the building trades unions.
The national council thus formed will,
beyond all question, be one of the most
powerful organizations in America and
will be strong enough to enforce its just
claims and demands. BY adopting ma
tional working card, isAned from head
quarters, by establishing in every city a
building trades bureau, it will soon
gather within its fold all nonunion men,
and in case Of q sudden boom in any To-
cality, when contractors, under present
conditions, claim to be compelled to hire
any and all that come along, the ma
tional body will be able not only to sup
ply the demand, but to relieve over
crowded cities.
Secretary II. W. Steinbiss of the st.
Louis Building Trades council states
that the movement is being received
with enthusiasm in many parts of the
country, and he is daily receiving let
ters urging the speedy calling of a con-
ference. Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburg,
Grand Rapids, Hartford, Philadelphia
and other cities have cordially Endorsed
the proposition, which was conceived in
st. Louis.
The st. Louis council will, i'm the
very near future, call for the conference
at which the national organization will
be created. Then every union connected
with the building industry, such as
bricklayers, carpenters, electrical work
ers. engineers, gasfitters, tile settlers,
mill and bench hands, woodworkers,
marble workers, painters, paper hangers,
plasterers, plumbers, roOfers, stair build
ers, stonecutters, stonemasons, iron
workers and tin workers will be confed.
Grated into compact, all powerful,
single purposed body that will. in the
language Of Secretary ]. W. Mckinney
Of the Lafayette Brotherhood Of Paint
ers and Decorators, be about "the grand
est organization of labor that has ever
been given to the building trades Of the
world. st Louis Republic.

Sold Her For q Quarter.

A good looking white woman, who
says her name is Mrs. Frank Salter.
went to Camilla, Ga, the other day, to
find out her matrimonial status. Her
story is an interesting one. Up to ten
days ago she was the wife Of Martin
Doolan, well known turpentine opera
tor. She and her husband quarreled over
Salter, who was boarder in their fam
lily, and the result was that Doolan sold
his wife to Salter for 26 cents. The
transfer was regularly made, and since
then the woman has been living with
Salter. She became uncertain about her
matrimonial condition and went to town
to consult lawyers. She says she thought
the % cent transfer was divorce.

And says, 81 know your head must ache, and

Ii Hung Chang while en- route here. In

do you think Chamberlain a great
manY' the viceroy was asked,
y do"
What ie your e%xcellency's opinion ?"
said the doctor.
Il agree with you ] believe he will
yet be the prime minister of England
he has great ability"
In discussing financial affairs, the
viceroy asked many questions and in
turn was asked for his opinion on the
silver question in the United States.
He replied:
MY opinion is no doubt different
from yours, because l look at it from a
Chinese standpoint. If a silver presl.
dent if elected in the United States it
will benefit China. in that it will en-.
bapce the value Of Chinese silver
money, and in q like anne of course.
it will benefit al! the great silver
nations"
