BI;1LDIyG TRADES, COUNCn.

There seems to be a lack of interest
in the Building Trades Council. The
unions are not as particular about
sending their delegates there as they
formerly were. Is it possible that the
building trades unions have lost
sight OF the fact that without Gen.
trail body of their trades, little can be
gained in endeavoring to make all jobs
strictly union" If any union thinks
that it is sufficiently strong to stand
alone, it will find itself sadly mis-
taken when the test. comes. Even if it
is able to get better conditions than
members of the other crafts without
a trades council, yet this is usually
brought about at the expense of some
other organization. If you want to see
the best conditions prevail among the
members of the building trades it is
your duty to encourage the growth OF
the Building Trades Council.

THE BUSINESS AGENT.

reach his men at this point orat that,
or to take advantage of some techni-
scalllty In the wording of the agreement
so why should they be afraid of The
visit OF business agent? He is deaf
ing 1alr and will be fairly dealt by. His
own men would not permit any other
policy. f.,
There Is a whole lot of fudge about
thea objections employers wage against
outside interference in the conduct Of
thelr business and as we have already
lntlmated, it is just round about way
OF expressing their antagonism to or
galzed labor. It is certainly most in
consistent on the part of any employer
who either individually or in associa-
ton does business with the organiza-
ton representing his men, to refuse to
nave any dealing with their represent
alive IN the person of their business
agent, or to throw obstacles in the way
OF the performance of his duties. If he
were received courteously and negotiat-
ed with IN a friendly way, we are
much mistaken if there would not be
smoother sailing and better feeling all
around.
But the fault is not all on the en-
ployer's side, for, as if he did not suf-
Ter enough from their unfriendliness,
the business agent has often to endure
the slurs and criticisms of those he re-
presents. He may be doing his best
to keep the peace, he may be using all
his tact to prevent friction, but his mo-
tlves will be misunderstood by some
q ho Vxyi10 tNo
many, who have not taken the beam
from their own eye. This is, naturally,
the most unkindest cut of ALL" He has
grown to expect viliflcation and abuse
from the employer, but why should it
be even so from his own people? If he
finds against them in any dispute he is
standing in with the boss If he asks
their assistance in any emergency he
is paid for to do it. If he wears decent
clothes and looks respectable, he is do
ing it out of our hard-earned money.
Did you ever think how unfair it all is,
and put curb on that unruly member,
the tongue?
1t appears, then, as if the much revil-
ed business agent were between the up
per and neither stones of the mill, and
that the difficulties of his position are
not sufficiently understood and appre-
ciated. But we. are firmly convinced
that in localities where a business agent
can be afforded and: wisdom is display
ed in selecting man to. fill the posi-
ton who has more to back him than
a loud mouth, the business of the locals
employing him will be better performed
and if the employers will but sink
their unreasoning and unmerited preju-
dice and negotiate important matters
through him, they will find affairs in
the workshop proceed more satisfactory
lily! and with less annoyance to them
serves than formerly. The business
agent is the mems accredited represent
ative or attorney, and he should be re-
celved and treated as such.-Iron
