ALLIED BUILDING TRADES.
Council to Begin New Year as indie
pendent Body.

The Council of Allied Building Trades Of
the District will begin the year 1905 as an
Independent body. Heretofore 1t has been
q tributary to the Central Labor Union,
but by practically a unanimous vote last
night the latter orga nization accepted the
withdrawal of the building trades section
from affiliation with the central body. This
action on the part of the central organiza-
ton was based upon a com muncation from
J. A Daley, secretary pro tenn, of the buI,o-
ing trades section, in which 1t was stated
that they had decided to withdraw their
aff1lia tion.
The statement was made that hereafter
the Council Of Allied Building Trades VIII
be an organization purely of building
trades, and will act independently of the
Central Labor Union. 1t is understood tina :
all properly chartered organizations will
be entitled to representation in the central
body. The unions will be represented ther e.
as formerly, by delegates from the Indi-
vidual unions.
A member Of the central body explained
that the withdrawal of the building trades
section from the Central Labor Union was
the outgrowth of propositions made in
November last by the executive committee
of the central body to the Allied Building
Trades to reorganize the building trades
section so as to include, if possible, all
the building trades of the city.
Matters relating to the organization of
the building trades were recently submit ted
to referendum vote, and practically all
the organizations affiliated with the cent al
body decided to form separate organiza-
ton Certain matters of detail connected
with the business affairs of the two or
CARNATIONS were last night placed in the
hands of the executive committee for ad-
5ustment. The report of the executive
committee made at last nights meeting
consisted principally of the reading of the
communication from Secretary Daley,

sertatives to the Central Labor Union were
accepted. The committee on legislation was
Instructed to prepare resolutions, to be
presented at the next meeting, undressing

And the cat came back" was the way
a newspaper man expressed it. when he
learned this forenoon that the escaped

assumed gigantic size and fantastic

little difficulty and transferred to the pen

The capture was easily effected, it was
stated referring to the matter today DIR.
A. b. Baker, assistant superintendent of
the zoo, said to Star reporter that the
animal was uninjured as a result of his
escapade, but was very hungry, he
round put little food in his travels. The
gates of the park were left open last night
in anticipation that hunger might drive
the deer back to his home in the zoo, and
the anucipations of Superintendent Baker
were happily realized. steps will be taken,
1t is safd to so arrange the fence about
the deer pen that the little muley' cannot

DR.. Baker added that the missing deer
had been seen last night in the vicinity of
the Washington School for Boys, near

a party of searchers. Several groups Of
