The advocates OF strict trades au-
tonomy gained a victory when the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor decided few
days ago that the United Brewery
workmen should revoke all charters
which it has issued to engineers and
-firemcn employed in breweries. The
Louisville convention OF the Ameri>an
Federation of Labor practically gave
the brewery workmen jurisdiction
over all men employed in ana around
breweries. Since that time there has
been continual strife resulting in open
warfare in Cincinnati. The decision
is highly satisfactory to the officers OF
the engineers and firemen's national
unions and will settle the dispute in
this city. which threatened to end in
expulsion cs the Brewers and Mal-
sters' Union from the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor.

A joyous welcome waits each one.

from the west. having succeeded in
settling the controversy over trade
jurisdiction in San Francisco. Mr
Buchanan was called on a few weeks
ago to visit the city of the Golden
Gate to inquire into the reason for
discrimination against members of his
union there. He found that local or
ganization known as the Derrickmen.

ers' Union was affiliated with the local
Building Trades Council, and was
claiming control of all structural iron
work. to the exclusion of members of
the local union, No. 26 of the Bridge

chanan suggested an amalgamation of
the two unions, and succeeded in
bringing it about. granting d new
charter, the united unions to be
known as Local Union, No. 81 of the
Bridge and Structural Ironworkers'
union. Mr. Buchanan is well known
in eastern labor circles. having acted
as president and business agent of the

it has expended in benefits to its

of benefits paid during the past year
was $3.50 022 SO, an increase of about
$40 900 over the previous year. OF the
strike benefits the local union in Mon
