BOYCOTT Is NOT OFF.
Denial of Report of building Trades
Councils Action Last Night.

SouICli Lust N1SHt.
The Building Trades Council. at its meet
ing last night, was reported by a morning
paper to have officially declared off the
beer boycott, after a very stormy meeting.
When questioned this morning in regard
TO such Il report. prominent member who
was present at the meeting said:
.There is absolutely no truth whatever
in the statement that any such action was
taken. The committee appointed to con-
fer with the boss brewers and the COM
mittee from the Federation We're about to
report, when the point was raised that
under the constitution of the Trades Coun-
Gil they had no right to interfere in the
least in the matter OF the brewery workers.
This point was sustained.
I'm view of the fact that the committee
had been illegally appointed, the council
also decided that it had no right. as
central body, to indorse the boycott. As
for declaring 1t off, the talk of it is too
idle to need consideration. The Building
Trades Council could not annul an action it
had no right to make and where il had no
jurisdiction
The matter now reverts back to the local
organizations, all of which, with one single
exception, have individually indorsed the
boycott and announce their intention to
stand on that ground.
The statement made that the Building
Trades Council have 5000 men is said
to be true, but all of these, with the
omission of less than sixty men composing
two small organizations, are under the
control of the Federation and ID. A. 66.
A labor leader today declared his be-
lief that the trouble between the master
brewers and their employees would. in all
probability, be finally settled this week,
and on the lines which have heretofore
been submitted by the Federation.

morning. but he got up late and court had
adjourned when he reached the police

You had better let it go. You can't
get off easier" said a friend. Fifty

trade one of the largest that has
ever taken place in Minnesota
