RECOGNIZED BY The TYPOS
Columbia Union Thinks Operative
Plasterers Deserve 1t.
Committees Adverse Report Was
Defeated by IA Decisive
Vote Yesterday.

At special meeting of Columbia Typ
graphical Union No. 101 yesterday chat
organization decided that the Operative
Plasterers' Union, affiliated with the Central
Labor Union, is properly organized labor
body and is entitled 10 recognition as such
iy organized labor and builders IN the DIs-
trict.
Tie question of recognizing the operative
plasterers came up On the report or MI.
Eugene Brown, chairman OF the grievance
con n.ittee of Columbia Unior, which tn-
vestieated the trouble between operative
and Knights OF Lator rlastererS' : s
Sc nuly No. 1914 some time ago. The
committee, it Is rel orted, Were unariInGuS
in the opinion, based on the evidence sub
mtted at the investigation, that the opera
t;ye plasterers We're not properly organ
lied and consequently not entitled 10
recognition.
THIS report. however, did not meet with
the approval OF a majority OF the r. lem-
iters of the un on present and a debate Tn
sued.
Finally the discussion resolved itself into
az issue between the principles Of the
Knights of Laf or and trades unionisIn. and
as the majority favored the latter the
claims of the operative plastercrs Were
sustained by Il decisive vote.
The meeting was not very largely at
tended, and j is said that some few of
those present did not vote on the question
on the ground that they had no power to
adjust the differences between plasteIc:s'
organizations. For these reasons there is
| already some talk of appealing the question
to the whole membership of Columbia
| Cn,on at another special meeting.
The question of increasing the salary of
| the janitor, final consideration of which
was postponed at the last meeting. also
! came up, and after a brief discussion it
was determined that the increase would
| hot be allowed.
| After the special business had been dis
| posed of the union took up the consideration
! of several amendments TO the constitution
| and bylaws. The most important Of these
was the imposing Of one per cent Gs-
| seSSmant for the "out OF work fund, but
as the matter will in all probability be
| shortly settled by legislation of the Inter
national Union the matter was indefinitely
| postponed.
