WHY RATIGAN RESIGNED.
His Friends Deny Any Friction With
Trades Unions.

The resignation of Mr.. E. J. Ratigan as
business agent of the Council of Allied
Building Trades it is stated, has been pre-
scented to that body Friends of Mr.. Rati-
gan state that his principal reason for CIV
Ing up the position is that he has arranged
to go into business for himself in Alexan-
dria, and that he will therefore not have
su1hclent time to devote to the office.
1t is denied that his resignation was
brought about by any friction with the Ia
Dor unions now affiliated with the council,
but that the opposition to him came from
certain bodies who resented his insistence
that they should live up to the laws and
rules of the council and the Central Labor
Union. His resignation has not as yet
been acted upon.
