LABOR FIGHT is SETTLED.
Internal Troubles smoothed oven
I'm Philadelphia.

in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 2o.-The fight between
the United Brotherhood OF Carpenters and
Joiners and the Allied Building Trades
League, which was begun early three
weeks ago. was officially declared on to-
day.
The trouble arose over the refusal OF
the brotherhood to become affiliated with
the league in the campaign for an eight-
hour work day, with increased wages.
When the movement for shorter hours
was first put on foot 1t was thought adj
visabie by the building trades TO form ona
organization, in which would be repre-
sented every building trade in the city,
so that the fight for shorter hours could
be carried on more systematically.
II was the plan that where an employer
of one trade refused the demands OF the
men, all the other trades working on the
same operation should strike In sympa-
thy. Thirty-elght trades became affiliat-
ed in the league only two OF the building
trades, the bricklayers and carpenters, re-
fusing to join. The bricklayers were
prevented because of technicality in
their charter, but the Brotherhood of Car
penters absolutely refused to become as
ISOLATED. This resulted in the league or
dering all its members to refuse to worlr
with a brotherhood carpenter, thus put
ting the latter in the same category as
non-union men.
This declaration OF war caused many
thousands of men TO lay idle for three
weeks, until to-day. when the United La
Dor League, which has been chosen ar
bltrator, decided that the Allied Build
ing Trades League should leave the
Brotherhood of Carpenters alone to work
out Its own salvation. The Allied League
accepted the recommendation and the
members of the two organizations will
now work amicably together. The en-
ployers have very generally signed the
demands of the various trades.
