derer was unconscious and his clothing

President Of Bridge and Iron Workers
Union Speaks His Mind.

New York. April 1s-An official address
by President Frank Buchanan OF the
international association OF Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, has been pre-
sented az meetings OF the local unions.
After discussing the arbitration argree-
ment in effect here the president says:
"I am hopeful that the members of
the International association will be
benefited by their costly experience in
New York and be more watchful 10 see
that the union dictates TO the business
agents instead OF permitting a few in
dividuals TO dictate 70 the union.
Cut out good Fellowship and personal
friendship and select men on their
merits. Our association should keep
agreements inviolate. A fair agreement
means a fair days pay for fair days
work The men who are trying to use
the union TO hold their jobs when they
are unable or unwilling TO do n fair
days work in a workmanlike way are
enemies to the principles that trades
unionism Is founded upon and an organ
ization that will permit their strength
TO be used for such purposes will come
TO grieve I'm the end.
