Carpenters Trouble Up.

The application OF the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners for the
revocation of the charter of the Amalga-
ma ted Association of Woodworkers was
the first thing called up In the labor con-
vention this morning. Wednesday night
this matter was laid over to see If the
two organizations could not agree to
amalgamate President Kidd of the
woodworkers announced that unless the
carpenters would withdraw their men
from certain shop in Philadelphia,
where the woodworkers had gone on
strike and the carpenters had taken their
places the matter must be fought out
on the floor of the convention.
A long debate was about to open when
Treasurer Lennon, who had the chair,
, declared that but one speaker on each
side would be allowed to address the con-
vention on the subject. Delegate Kidd
CT the woodworkers appealed from the de-
cision of the chair and the appeal was
successful, and the debate, which gave
| every indication of being a long one, was
in full swing.
| Delegate Braunschung OF the wood
workers was given the floor to speak in
opposition to the application of the car
| penters. He ridiculed the claim of the
latter to Jurisdiction over the woodwork
| ers and accused the carpenters of con-
duct on frequent occasions intended to
disrupt other organizations. Secretary
Morrison announced that an error had
been made in footing up the vote on the
socialist resolution Of yesterday. The
| vote in favor of 1t was All and 1897
| against 1t, being lost by 726 votes.
! Delegate Bahnen of the carpenters
spoke at length In reply to Mr.. Brauns-
chung denying that the carpenters had
| been guilty Of indirect practices, but on
the contrary the woodworkers were cul-
| pable in that direction

Many Accusations.

Many Accusations.
Speaker followed speaker, one accusing
the carpenters, and the next one denying
the statements made and bringing
charges against the woodworkers. The
arguments consumed practically the en-
tire morning.

citation of Woodworkers. The executive
council recommended that the piano work.
ers transfer certain machine workers

accordance with a previous agreement, or
forfeit their charter. F. H. Murray and
Charles Dold, of the piano workers. op-
posed the recommendation, and Secretary
Kidd of the woodworkers spoke In fayor
Of It, Other speeches were made by poth
sides. Mr. Dold offered an amendment
to the report of the committee making
II mandatory upon the woodworkers as
well as upon the piano workers to reach
an agreement and that the organization

ter. An adjournment was carried. An
adjournment was then taken until 2

charter would practically include all men
who worked on the sea and lakes, on the
docks or were in anyway connected with
the handling of goods in transport. The

had been referred reported adversely on
the application for new charter ana
recommended that marine engineers be
not placed under the jurisdiction or the

and water tenders be placed In the Sea-
mems union; that the incoming execu-
tive council of the American Federation
of Labor call a convention of all freight
