BREWERS KICK
And AnnuI Their Contract With a
Building Trades Council.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 30.-The Mil
waukee Brewers association unani-
mously passed a resolution declaring
the contract between that association
and the Building Trades trades coun-
Gil terminated.
The trouble arose over one of the
breweries refusing to recognize the
Master Plumbers association to the
extent of giving it monopoly of its
business and prohibiting all competi-
ton for plumbing work.
The brewers association took this
action after one of the local breweries
had been put on the unfair list and
upon a refusal of the building trades
council to arbitrate the trouble.
The building trades council affiliates
with the Federated Trades council,
and lively fight is anticipated. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the brewers
union will aid the building trades
council in it's fight. The Milwaukee
Brewers association is one of the
largest in the country, and for several
years past has signed an annual
agreement with the building trades
council governing all kinds of work.
The breweries employ several thou
sand union men.
