The two parts OF the United Board OF
Building Trades which had split over the
recognition Of the building material drivers
and handlers unions were formally re-
united yesterday at Breevort Hall, Fifty
fourth street and Third avenue. The
drivers and handlers unions withdrew from
the old board in order that the two factions
might come together to fight the Building
Trades Employers Association. The Second
Hand Building Material Handlers Union
also withdrew, although 1t had not appeared
in the dispute.
The reuniting OF the factions means the
disappearance Of the Building Trades
Mechanics Association, formed by the
unions OF skilled workmen which seeded
from the old board.
The strike committees Of the two organi-
cations were reunited with Sam Parks as
chairman.
In the absence of President Donovan,
Frederick Lennon presided at the meeting
of the reunited board. which lasted only
five minutes.
Sam Parks wanted to extend the strikes
to the public schools, but was overrued.
The present officers will hold office until
the regular election which will take place
in about a month. Sam Parks is expected
to be the next president,
