In LdbOr'S
Field.

At the weekly meeting Of the Building
Trades Council, held last night, two dele
gates from the Stonemasons union were
admitted to membership. The rest Of the
meeting was devoted to routine business,
after which the meeting was given over
TO listening to a statement from the bust
ness agent of the council, l.. ]. Rusk in
reference to the calling out of fifty mem
bers of the various unions from the ad-
dition which is being erected at present
TO the st. Josephs orphan asylum. After
the close of the meeting Business Agent
Rusk said he regretted very much that
the agent of the council was obliged to
take the action that he did, for the rea-
son that he believed 1t was against the
best interests, not only Of the industrial
world Of the city, but was also, he
thought, detrimental to the best interests
of the workingman and his employer.
Mr.. Rusk stated also that he could not,
at the present time, understand the posi-
ton of the employers, as the men all APP
peared to be ready and willing to become
members of the local union. The present
trouble was brought about by the en-
ployment of a plumber and a helper en-
ployed by Hudner & Riggelsberg on the
job. Mr.. Rusk also stated that he could
not tell from the present situation how
soon the present trouble would be set
tied, but that he hoped 1t might be to-
day or tomorrow. The members of the
crafts called out yesterday were carpen-
tiers, plasterers, painters, fathers and
decorators.
