TO TAKE UNION CARPENTERS
TO NORFOLK.
To Fight Case for Damages Against
Contractors

Contractors
The Savannah Council of the Build
ing Trades Union held an informal
meeting last night in it's hall in the
Lyons Building. The occasion was the
visit of H. w. Steinbliss, National
Secretary of the Building Trades Con-
vention of Unions with headquarters at
St. Louis.
The National Secretary's mission
here is because of a suit instigated
by him last July in Norfolk, Va,
/ against contractors who sent here for
men to fill the places of mechanics in
voIved in a lock out in Norfolk and
taking the Savannah men to that city
under alleged false pretenses. Last
July he said in one of his talks, and
his talks were many dupng the meet
ing coming on the inspiration OF the
minute, he was called to Norfolk, from
ST. Louis, because of a lock out there
caused by contractors wanting more
hours of labor from their mechanics,
while he was in Norfolk ten men were
brought from Savannah, eight white
and two colored, to fill some of the
vacant places.
CAS- soon as those men arrived and
realized the true condition of affairs,
he said, "they sought me out and told
me that though they were not MEM
bers of the trade union in savannah
they had misunderstood the condition
of things in Norfolk before leaving
home and since they had discovered
a lockout was on they would not go
to work for love or money. | knew
then that this was an excellent place
for a trades union. l furnished these
men with return transportation to Sa-
vannah but before they left | made
them go up and file suit against the
e. 49, 20.
folk under false pretenses. That is
why | am here. have come to take
those men back to Norfolk to attend
the trial. which will begin on the 18th
of this month";"
Between the talks to the council by
Mr. w. F. Smith, business agent of
the local Building Trades Council, and
j. f. Cumbea, president of the Me-
chanics Union, Mr.. Stembliss spoke
upon the purposes of organized labor
and the results it is expected to
achieve. He said the purpose of or
ganized labor is not to aitagonize con-
tractors nor to antagonize capital and
the last thing the organization wanted
was a strike.
All that is wanted. he said. is justice,
and he pointed out how better work Is
done by men working short hours. and
that more time with their families and
better pay make them better citizens
and better fathers. He insisted that
labor had a RICH to share the profit
OF the prosperity Of the country with
capital, and directed arguments TO
some contractors who were present
that this II the sole object Of the
unions

night out of doors in November.
Among those who grew anxious in their
search for rooms were three or four poll
ticians of State prominence, among them
two members of the State Legislature and
a representative in Congress, but they were
finally successful in finding friends who
would double up with them and share
the rooms they were so fortunate as to en-
gage early in the day.
AT the leading hotels the names of the
guests covered from seven to ten pages of
the registers, and the houses were full as
early 1880 o'clock in the evening.
More people are expected in the city to-
day and tomorrow, but there will be many
departures among those who came for only
a days visit, and fairly comfortable enter
tainment will be provided for most of those
who come Some may have to sleep on
cots three four, or even more, to a room,
but they will be accommodated. If every
thing else fails, il Is always possible for a
stranger TO find a nights lodging at the

Former State Senator w. w. Lambert
of Columbus, who was in the city yes
terday. has just completed a task. the re-
suits of which will be valuable contribu-
ton TO legal literature-valuable not only
TO attorneys. but to bankers and persons
interested in national bank affairs. Mr..
Lambert was employed by Controller of the
Currency w. B. Ridgely TO prepare digest
of all the decisions of all the State and
federal courts. pertaining to national
banks. This work is now ready for the
printers and will appear with Mr.. Ridgely's
annual report the first Of the year
Since the passage of the national bank
act in 1863, said Mr.. Lambert, there have
been thousands OF decisions on questions
arising from the law. These decisions have
all been published in syllabi.. but they have
never before been systematiZed. My task
has been TO gather them all and systematic
them in such shape that every decision
affecting national banks will be in one
volume available for easy reference. 1
have spent about five months on the work
and the result will be volume OF some 400
pages"
Mr.. Lambert received the commission
from Mr.. Ridgely through the influence Of
Senator Beveridge. He will be paid for his
services out Of the insolvent bank fund.
Mr.. Lambert was one of the active men,
bers OF the Senate in the sessions of 1899
and 1901. He represented Bartholomew and
Decatur counties, under an agreement the
ONCE alternates from one county to the
other. Consequently he was not a candi-
date for denomination. Marshall Z. New
