Practical Ulhmatum Of United
Board of Building Trades.

IT was learned Yesterday that the Board OF
Building Trades. a. its meeting in the after
noon which was behind closed doors, asked the
RuiIdirg Material Drivers Union to withdraw
its demands for recognition of the union by the
lumber and building material dealers lhis
was preceded by a long discussion on the sltua-
ton and the request, which was really an uili-
matum was made that the way may De open
for conferences with the Building Material Deal
ers' and Lumber Dealers associations win
view 70 ending the shutdown on all building
work.
The board also decided to go on with the
negotiations no matter what action the bul'u-
ing Material Drivers Union may take. Inc
delegates of the letter did not relish the request
and talk of holding out anyway, but it is known
that without the backing of the board the union
would stand on an insecure footing. According
to the employers the union represents only d
small minority of the drivers, and In case the
employers decide to keep open yards "ouiu
probably have to yield anyway.
Business Agent Rogan. of the union, said yes
terday evening that the strikers would continue
out until they gained their demands. He added;
We are able TO stand on our own legs anu
win our fight We could get help from our III
ternational union, but we VIII not nave any ~
need to apply to it. No one VIII go PACK u
