BROTHERHOOD YIELDS.
CARPENTERS Union Seeks Reinstate-
ment an Building Trades Board.

The United Board of Building Trades yester-
day received an application from the orotnei
hood carpenters to be reinstated in the orgahi-
zation The Brotherhood and Amalgamated car
penters have been at war, each union trying 10
crowd the other out of work in the building
trades The brotherhood withdrew from the
United Board of Building Trades last June Its
appeal 10 get back hailed yesterday by the
Amagamated men proof of an Amalgamated
victory. The brotherhood application was re-
ferred to the committee credentials for in
vestigation. Recently the brotherhood made
contracts with organizations of employers
in the building trades by which the Amalga-
mated men were to be shut out of jobs These
contracts will have to be repealed if the brother
hood is permitted to return to the fold, 1t is
said
The Amalgamated carpenters are to return
to work to-day on new hotel building in Clin-
ton-st Brooklyn. 1t said yesterday that
lockout at the building had been directed against
the brotherhood.
There has been talk about action by the
United Board of Building Trades to turn out OF
the organization the union of teamsters. on the
ground that the teamsters are not skilled work
men The lockout at the building materials yards
was started account of the demands made
On behalf of the teamsters. The employers have
said they would reopen the yards when the de-
"
employ non-union teafnsters without antagoniz-
ing other labor unions. 1t expected that
some action to throw the teansters overheard
would be taken by the United Board of Building
Trades but the subject not even mentioned
at the meeting.
The board sent a committee, consisting Of
Delegates Stanton. Carvil, Call, Lemons and Nc
Cabe, to confer with q committee of the Board
of Education about the lockout directed against
new school buildings. The delegates in
structed to tell the Board of Education that the
labor organization would provide all the men
needed for completing the new schools, if the
necessary ma terials could be obtained After
the conference had been held. Mr.. Adams. chair
man OF the Board Of Education's committee on
and repair of buildings, said:
We have entirely little information upon this
matter at present and it will take three four
Board of Trades committee told us that the entire
trouble with the building material men. who
refused to send supplies. l have influence
with several material dealers. and Will them
and find out if concession cannot be made In
our favor. At the present time think If
try drive a wagon load of sand out of a
building material yard he would be a dead
before he reached the school.
The application of the Brotherhood TO join
the Board of Building Trades is believed to
be the result of the attempt of the conciiatiOn
last week to bring about harmony between the
Brotherhood and the Amalgamated carpenters.
Before the BrotherhoOd'S credentials can be
favorably considered it will have to give up
contracts with employers providing that none
but brotherhood men be employed The mas
ter carpenters yesterday reafirmed their reso-
luton TO employ Brotherhood men members
Of the Amalgamated Society Unfortunately.
