Spurred on by the success of the
Chicago contractors, the st. Paul Build
ers' Exchange are spelling for fight,
just as the savage Indian when he
hears of the success of neighboring
tribe on the field of battle; just as the
wild beast of the forest that licks the
life blood from it's fallen prey. They
ut~up the following argument against
the building trades council of st. Paul,
clipped from the daily press of that city
1.-The contractors are willing to enter
into agreements with the union, but it
must first sever its connections with
the. Building Trades Council. The
contractors do not object to the unions
belonging to a central body, but such
central body must not have the power
to declare strikes. - 80:
Agreements which contractors are
ready>.to enter into concede union
wages and hours, but before these
points are agreed to the most vital one
to contractors-the calling of ,sympa-
thetic strikes-.=must> he done away with.
This power lies in: the Building Trades
Council, hence, the objection to that
body. Organizations of similar s:char-
Iacter in other cities have paralyZed the
building business through the ,net thods
pursued: that they have gone SO far
as to indicate as to: the number of men
who should be allowed to work, the
amounts of work. men should perform
each day, the, amount of machine pow
er to be employed, and in fact, that
they have practically taken the auth
ority which should be in the contractor
and usurped it to such an extent that
contractors are driven to cease taking
work." :. - ... r. .....: >
This is the ultimat atum they sent to
the Carpenters Union:
Whereas, the Building Trades Coun-
Gil has and always will be a menace TO
the building interests of this city; there
fore be it 'E
"Resolved, that the carpenters, men,
bers of union associated with said
Building Trades Council, employed by
carpenter contractors, members of the
Builders Exchange of st. Paul, be noti-
fed that unless said union withdraws
from said council by Monday. May 81
1901, their services will no longer be
required by said exchange contractors
of the Builders Exchange. M ts,,st.
All we have to say to the carpenters
of st. Paul is to- stand firm. Do not
permit one pillar to be extracted from
the strength of the movement in your
city. The boss carpenters, members of
the Builders Exchange Of st. Paul,
have not one tenth as much right to de-
mand your withdrawal from the Build
ing Trades Council as the publicthas to
demand the boss carpenters Withdraw
al from the Builders Exchange, an or

every line, who pool their. bids and

There was never time in the hist
ory of the labor movement when there
was so much necessity for unity Of
trade unions as there is today. With
in the past two years the movement
has grown with such rapidity that
every exploiter Of labor in the land is
becoming unusually alarmed. Every
conceivable weapon is being used by
them to thwart their growth and dis
rupt their membership. Enemies from
within and without are working la
boriously with this end in view. Dual
organizations are. suggested, but or
ganized with poor success. The work.
ingmen seem to appreciate the neces-
sity at this late day of organizations
of labor.
Finding that their schemes are un-
derstood by the trade unionists, the
exploiters are braZenly throwing out
challenges, by issuing ultimatums, de-
manding that the organizations of their
employers sever connections with the
tie that binds the various crafts so
closely together, such as the local
Building Trades Council.
They understand full-well that by
disrupting the building trades councils
the separate trade unions will be easy
prey in due time. OF late it has be-
come unpopular for employers to op-
pose their labor in it's just demands,
and hence they adopt this round about
method of preventing the success Of
labor, because the aims and objects Of
building trades councils are yet so lit
tie understood by the general public.
A movement against building trades
councils is not looked upon by the OBJ
serving public in the same manner as
a movement against single trade un-
ion; but to the employers who look to
the disruption of these central bodies,
the end will eventually be the same.
A year ago in Chicago the contractors
association began partially success
full war against the building trades
council of that city. They had pre-
pared for the event for sometime, and
were in a position to meet any emer-
gency when the lockout took PLACE.
They caught labor unawares, and hence
were successful. It is true that they
weakened the trades council for the
time being, but 1T is not dead by any
means. e will |, through the aturai
