FOR PEACE AND HARMONY.
Arbitration Boards of Seventeen
 Unions Met to Devise Means.

Ou1OuS n4SL LO 10f1SG ASdnSs
 Chicago, Feb 2S.-The arbitration boards of seventeen unions in the build ing trades held joint meeting last night to devise means to bring about peace and harmony in the building 1n- dustry this season. A committee was named to go before the various asso- citations of building contractors in the city and endeavor to bring about the formation of a general board of arbi- tration and conciliation, which is to include a representative from each craft and from each contractors asso- citation. Through the naming of such a board the advisory board of the building trades, which stands sponsor for 1t, claimed that sympathetic strikes could practically be wiped out, a big strike of any nature in the building line averted, and the many questions of jurisdiction of crafts, which are of daily occurrence during the season, could be disposed of. The prime ob- ject of the whole movement Is to keep the men at work in cases of dispute and avoid walk-outs pending their set clement.

NEW ASSESSOR NAMED
Martin J. McEvoy Appointed to Fill
 the Vacancy.

the Vacancy.
 To-day Mayor Kilduff announced the appointment Of Martin j. McEvoy 10 fill the vacancy on the board ot as- sessors caused by the expiration of the term of office of John Clohessey. The appointment is considered as good as could have been made and, so far as can be learned, meets with public ap- proZal. MT McEvoy is a member of the board of finance and one of its most useful members.
 Martin J. McEvoy was born in New York city thirty years ago and came to Waterbury in 1879 with his parents, the late Finton B. and Mary Uawlor) McEvoy. He is brother to M. J., Finton T., Frank P. and Joseph Me Evoy, all of this city. He was edu- cated in the public schools of this city and at St Augustine's, Hartford. An exceptionally bright young man, with his fortune already made and possess ing ample time and the necessary knowledge to fill the position credita- bly,, it is but reasonable to expect that MT McEvoy will prove a very valuable man on the board of assessors He conducts a real estate and insurance office and by steady application to his duties and honest dealing with all, has built up a large and profitable busi- ness.
 MT McEvoy resides at 15S North Main street. He is member of the K. of c. and the Talma club, and made his initial bow to the public in an off, cial capacity year ago last January, when the mayor appointed him a mem. Der of the board of finance.
