posting of $4,000 as a guarantee that the
temporary agreement with the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners

ton plan. The refusal to post the guaran-
tee fund may result in the notification of
the entire plan. Although both sides agree

Is stated that by practically a unanimous
vote Secretary e. j. Ratigan of the coun-
Gil was directed to inform the Central La
Dor Union that the contract is disapproved
by the Building Trades, and requesting that
1t be rescinded by the central body.
1t is said that because of extensive
building operations of local brewing firm,
not a party to the agreement, the building
trades are Immediately interested in MAIN
tanning am1cable relations with all local
concerns SO long as union workmen are
employed in the various breweries and on
work of building construction.
Delegates from the Amalgamated So
ciety Of Carpenters were admitted to rep
resentation in the body. At the meeting of
the Central Labor Union last Monday even
ing delegates from the same organization
were also seated 1t is said that the re-
turn of the Amalgamated Carpenters to the
central body and council will terminate
the dissension which has existed for some

Brotherhood Carpenters, and is preliminary
to the amalgaInation of the two organiza-
tons under the national jurisdiction of the
brotherhood.

At the recent convention of the Inter-
national Hold Carriers and Building La
borers' Union, held at Trenton, N. j., the
constitution of the proposed Structural
Building Trades Alliance was approved,
and it was decided that the hod carriers
and laborers would affiliate with the alli-
ance in the event of the formation of such
a body. The question of the alliance of
other building organizations is being de-
cided by referendum. 1t was reported that
the vote of subordinate unions of hod car
riers was unanimous in favor of forming
an alliance of the structural building trades
along the lines agreed upon at a recent
of building trades. The result of the vote
of the other organizations has not been re-
ported. though it is said that the PROPOSE
ton will probably be approved by a ma
jority of the organizations interested.
