THE BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL
An Amendment TO Dcbar Knights OF
Labor Fails of Passage.

The proposition to debar Knights of
Labor organizations from membership In
the Building Trades Council failed TO re-
ceive the necessary endorsement Of two
thirds of the unions affiliated with that
body to make IL a law. The matter came
up in the form OF an amendment to the
constitution of the council two weeks ago,
and was referred TO the different unions
for action. The reports of the delegates
from the unions showed that two-thirds
OF the nineteen unions do not favor amend
ing the constitution as proposed
II is understood that the amendment sug-
gested was with a view of preventing the
utilization of the Knights of Labor painters
with the council. The Painters Ass smbly.
il is stated. is the only building trades or
ganization not already represented in the
council.
Coupled with he amendment referred 10
were two others, requiring that a union
man shall not work with a non-union man,
and that the council should employ busi-
ness agent. Both these propositions were
also defeated.
