BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.
Disapproval Expressed of Union of
Marble Cutters.

President E. L. Lomax occupied the
chair at the meeting last evening of the
Building Trades Council and Mr. John p.
Healey was secretary.
A statement printed in a morning paper
that Mr.. William Silver, organizer of the
Central Labor Union, had organized a
union of marble cutters caused considera-
BILE discussion. This alleged action of Mr..
Silver was objected to by the soft stone
cutters, who stated that such an organi-
zation as the one referred to would serious
ly injure them. and Mr.. Silver's reported
course in the matter was strongly disap-
proved of by the stone cutters.
The subject was disposed of temporarily
by the adoption of a motion which instruct
ed the secretary to communicate with the
Central Labor Union and ask that body
to discourage the organization of crafts
men who are in opposition to any labor
body already organized.
A report was submitted stating that Mr..
T. V. Powderly is erecting a new home In
Cleveland Park and is employing nom
union labor thereon. The secretary OF the
council was instructed TO communicate with
Mr.. Powderly and remind him of the fact
and request that union labor be employed.
A sum sufficient to defray the expenses
OF the delegate of the coming council to
the national convention of the building
trades al Kansas City was appropriated.
Mr.. Milford Spohn was elected official
reporter of the Building Trades Council.

LOADED FOR BEAR.
Party of Two Preparing for a Crusade
in Virginia.


Assistant District Attorney Mullowny and
Mr.. Frank Raymond are making extensive
prepare tions for a bear hunt in the Blue
Ridge mountains next week. Mr. Raymond
well known in angling circles, had never
fired gun until he visited local shooting
gallery a few days ago.
In court circles this pre- spective bear hunt
is the first topic discussed each morning
and there is scarcely a lawyer who does
not know that an express wagon has been
hired to meet the huntsmen upon their re-
turn from the wild country. Mr. Mullowny
is learning as many bear stories as possible
in order that he may be able to entertain
the natives while seated about log fire at
night during his stay in the mountains. In
this task his friends have come to his res
cue and In almost every mail he receives
literature relating to hunting bears. The
latest mail brought him a cartoon repre-
senting a man on his first hunt The sight
presented is not an enViable one, and the
prosecutor has about determined that his
friend Raymond shall do the shooting.
Bear steaks and roaSts have been prom
ised to scores of friends, and others NAV be
included in the list of fortunates upon an
plication. 1t is the intention of the hunts
men to go from here to Quicksbury Va
and drive twelve miles to the house of Mr.
