PLAsTERERs MAY BURY HATcHET
Questions OF Jurisdiction Between
Unions to Be Adjusted

The long standing difficulty over the
question of jurisdiction in the plaStering
trade between Operative P,asters Local
Union No q and the international Asso-
citation Bricklayers and Plasterers Union
No. 1S of Bayonne is at last in a fair way
Of settlement. and the indications now
are that within a short time all union
plasterera throughout the county will
carry working cards of the United Build
ing Trades Council, with which the Opera
tive P.asterers are affiliated.
James Connolly. Frederick Ramsey and
Richard Bowes, who represented NO. "A
at the conference. have agreed to minor
demands of the representatives of no. 1S
on condition that all its members in the
plastering line become affiliated with their
organization. This arrangement seemed
satisfactory to both sides. but owing TO
the fact that the national representative
of the Bayonne organization was obliged
to submit his report to his executive body,
action was deferred until a later day.

UNION MUSICONL Y FILTERS MAY WIN
Despite Mayor, Local Union
Men Are on Verge Of
Victory.

The refusal of Mayor Fagan and Presi-
dent of the Board of Education john
Ward to ASSIST the local union steam
filters in their fight to have residents OF
this city employed on the new Pupic
Schools Nos. 2 and 90. may, after all, not
prevent the settlement of the difficulty
Yesterday afternoon Business Agent w.
]. Gallagher and Secretary Mcbride of
the Hudson County Steamfitters' Union,
with Business Agent John e. Westlake
of the United Building Trades Council,
met in conference with representatives OF
the Master Steamfitters and the Enter
prise and Progressive Association of
Steamfitters of New York at the Wool
Exchange West Broadway. New York.
Matters affecting the question of juris-
diction in this county were discussed at
length, and finally 1t was agreed to have
a committee of the Enterprise Associa-
ton meet with the representatives OF the
Hudson county union and endeavor to ad-
Just the difficulty. The meeting viii be
held this afternoon.
The action of the representatives OF
Mayor Fiagan's administration in trying
through articles published in their party
organ to place on the last administrations
the responsibility for the conditions ex-
listing at the two new schools, was round
ly denounced by representatives OF the
local steamfitters last night. Said one
prominent in the Organization
IF the Mayor or his representative in
the Board of Education had any interest
in the fight of local labor for recognition
at home they would certainly have grant,
ed our request to have the contractors
withdraw the New oYrk men until after
today's conference. This we do not think
was an unreasonable request, but it was
refused by Director of Education Ward,
to whom we were referred by Mayor
Fagan.
THE last city administration awarded
the contracts for the two new schools to
the lowest bidders, as they were obliged
to. What we wanted was the assistance
of the municipal authorities in having
local union labor recognized by the con-
tractors This assistance the represen-
tatives of the present administration have
refused us and it is the duty of all local
union men to hold them accountable for
their action,

1.-THE Christians SON."

lnthis era of dram stic produc Ion
when the tendency of the theatre has
been toward the loosely toned farce, it
is indeed real pleasure for the lover
of artistic stage representation to le
able to meet an entertainment who g
base is strong ana dramatic incident
morally pure and uplifting, with lines
as valuable in a literary sense as in
dramatic worth; whose evenly high
psychical study is made real and me-
lodr amatic by the material incident,
and whose beauty and finish holds the
attention through every line, word and
detail in action throughout. Such 9
play is "The Christians Son" which
will be seen at the local theatre Tues
day evening Nov. llth. The author,
Hall Caine. whose "Christian" proved
so popular card needs no introduce
ton to the American public, and it is
hardly necessary to say that those who
are at all acquainted w!th the story of
"The Christians Son" will not say
that in that book. the incident and
beauty is in construction and merit
even greater than the "Chrlstian."
The dramatist, Chas w Chase has
lost no chance in this and has given
an exact and complete stage version of
the story.

man Of Brooklyn who visited the is
lands two OF three years ago and pre-
pared lecture ON them OH his return
declared that there was only one place

Hawaiian tongue was productive Of

The oak tree under whose branches
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas held II political debate in 1858
is still standing in Bloomington, Ill.
1t appears to be centuries old. In 1858
the tree marked an Enclosure then
known us Henshaw's pasture, Il former
public meeting place. George Hen
shaw, the owner, was n Democrat. He
arranged to have the debate there, be-
ing an admirer of Douglas. The two
candidates for United States senator
had engaged in series of debates,
and the one held IN Bloomington ut
tracted voters from far and near. A
platform for the candidates was con-
structed directly under the boughs Of
this old oak. Its shade protected the
audience as we'll as the speakers.
