papers In a statement which he claims
to be history of the present fight be-
tween the Carpenters unions and the
builders exchange While the infOrma-
ton given by him Is true. the letter
seems to be intended to mislead the pub
lie into the belief that the union had
been arbitrary in its dealings with tho
exchange. We feel bound to defend tho
position taken by the union in the mat
ter. The truth of the matter is that We
acted in strict accordance with the re-
quest of several prominent members Of
the exchange that at any time we in
tended to make a demand on the buili-
ers to give them fair notice, and in
making the present demand we acted
strictly on the above lines.
On February 9 we notified the en-
change and the individual builders, that
our rules would go into effect June l..
At the request of the president of tho
Master Carpenters association we asked
that a conference should be arranged be-
tween our committee and committee
from the exchange The conference was
arranged for March 2S at which time we
met them, but found that according to
their own statement they had no author
ity to talk and would like to know what
we had to offer so the so-called confer
ence resulted in nothing. Then, accord
ing to Mr.. Laudig's statement they re
ported back 10 their association that we
had refused TO make any concession and
were determined to have all that they
had asked for The truth of the matt II
is that no such statement was made by
any member Of our committee during he
so called conference.
In conclusion will say that we do not
wish to enter into a lengthy newspaper
discussion Of this matter, hut we do feel
bound to defend ourselves against mis-
leading statement
