THE EXAMINER"
TELLS MORE LIES
False Reports of the Build
ing Trades Council
Meeting.
Its Statements Rcundly De-
nounced as Being
Untrue.
No R solutions Were Passed Con.
demning "The CAL by the
Aft iaei Unions.

The Examiner made another effort yes
terday to break its own record as taker
and faIsifier. and to a considerable extent it
was successful. 1t failed, however, to this
extent, that lie to be of any effect must
be well told.
In its report of the meeting OF the
Building Trades Council, held at 915H
Market street on Thursday evening, the
Examiner said:
Last night the Building Trades Council
fully and by official act indorsed the resolu-
tions of condemnation OF the paper (THE CALI)
adopted by the Carpenters Union OF this
City.
This statement was q falsehood made
out of whole cloth. No resolutions were
passed or adopted at that meeting con-
demning THE CALL or indorsing the action
of anv union relative to tha. matter, and
the Examiners two representatives, sent
to the meeting for the purpose of having
such action taken, SO that the Mission
street sheet could make capital out of it,
were so informed.
The following emphatic denial of the
Examiners story was made last night by
representatives OF the Building Trades
Council:
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 1897.
To the Editor: / desire to state that
the printers who visited the Interna-
tional AmaIgamated Sheet Metal Work
ers, Local NO. FL, on Wednesday even
ing, March 8, 1897, at Academy Hall,
e27 Market street, showed no intent
nor purpose to convey the impression
that they in any way represented Typo
graphical Union No. FL, of the Inter
national Typographical Union, but
merely that they were individu ual MEM
bers of The Call chapel, with no
delegated power, and that they visited
us for the purpose of CORE citing a mis-
statement.
1 also desire to state that the same
gentlemen appeared before the Build
ing Trades Council on Thursday night,
and they were extended the courtesy of
the floor in a like manner to that of the
meeting e of the Metal Workers, and they
conducted themselves in like manner.
L also desire to state that no reso1u-
tions were passed by the Building
Trades Council Thursday evening,
March 4. 1897, condemning or censur-
ing any newspaper or publication.
H. C. HINCKEN,
President Building Trades Council.
w. NJ. PAGE,
Secretary Building Trades Council.
Mr.. Page also made the following state.
ment:
81 was present as one of the dele
gates of the Building Trades Council
at the meeting held at 9157a Market
street on Thursday night, March 4,
1897, and as an individual and not as a
representative of that body will state
a resolution was presented by j. w.
Rose in substance the same as the
| one passed by Carpenters' Union No.
| 22, which he asked to have tho Build
| ing Trades Council adopt. The council
decided not to take action, and re ferred
| the matter to the several unions affili-
| ated.
| The statement made In this morn
| inp's Examiner that the council in
| dorsed those resolutions and con-
demned The Call is false and without
| foundation in fact. The council pas ed
| this matter without any action what
ever Therefore the council OF
take any action whatever until the sew
| eral unions take action on the matter,
| to which all such must be referred.
| "I make this statement voluntarily,
| in order to correct any injustice that
has been done to Tho Call, that has
ALWAYS been friendly to labor and
workingmen."
