settlement OF the difficulty, though
the breach between the Trades Union

The allied council continues TO regard
Brotherhood carpenters as non-union
men. and il is said, will make an effort
To disdupt their organization. Allied
council members are permitted TO work
on jobs where Brotherhood carpenters
are employed and this Is regarded by
the latter as partial victory. mas

the council has not thrown them out OF

endeavored TO bring about a reconcile
alton between the warning labor organ
izations has suspended two local unions
OF Brotherhood carpenters which were
affiliated with the league because OF
their refusal TO accept the Allied Coun-
ellis proposition TO work only with union
men. Whenever the wage scale has
been signed the strikers have returned
to work and there will be no further
negotiations between the Allied Council
and the Brotherhood of carpenters.
