UNIONS LOSE.
Building Trades Str ike at Spokane
Failure.

Spokane, Dec. 15.-The general
strike called by the building trade"
council last Wednesday lis over. With
the exception of the plumbers the union
men have all gone back to work.
The building laborers' union has
agreed to withdraw from the building
trades council before January l., and
on that condition the men went back to
work. The master builders refused to
take them back on any other terms.
From present appearances there is
not much left of the building trades
council. The opinion among union
men is that the building trades council
had altogether too much power. The
present mixup has left the union men
in quandary as to what to do.
