COUNCIL TO ORGANIZE NEW LOCAL
{. Last evening the meeting OF the Car
peuters' council was one OF the best that
has been held In some time and during
the whole evening there was not a
moment that might be called dull
The first business to come before the
meeting was the proposed amendments
to the constitution. The amendments
were presented last night. and after being
talked over for little time were ratned.
II was then proposed that they be pre-
sented to the various locals at the next
session for their ratification or rejection.
The next matter to come before the
meeting was the drafting Of an agreement
with regard to the use OF the union label.
This was chiefly for the controlling OF
the label and the granting OF its use to
the shops of the city. The carpenters
label is becoming an important factor TN
all the work OF the several unions OF the
city. and In fact the whole country are
putting out. There ara a great number
OF the shops In the city asking for the
use OF the label and in some OF the large
stores all the woodware being sold at the
present time IL bearing the stamp OF the
carpenters label.
The organizing committee was given
the power to organize the parauetry floor
layers into a union and the work Will be
commenced soon. This same COMMITTEES
was also instructed to take charge OF all
the mass meetings and smokers to be
held this winter In the interest OF the
craft, making them show the work OF the
craft so that the men in all the mills OF
the vicinity might become more interested
and more thoroughly organized.
The matter OF having the union label In
the form OF a rubber stamp was talked
over and the secretary was instructed to
communicate with the international con-
cerning the use OF such an one instead OF
the paper ones. The paper ones are more
costly hence the desire for change.
The business agent made a very inter-
esting report including the history OF the
small strike iHa4ss4ratad pesterday in -the
! store formerly occupied by the y. NJ.
/ Kirby Co. The trouble arose over the mis-
Interpretation OF the rules OF the Building
trades council and all the members OF the
council at work there ceased. The matter
| was finally adjusted, however, and today
|, the men are at work as usual
| In addition TO this there were number
| OF other matters Of interest embodied in
I the report.
! The circulars ordered by the council
| making known the events connected with
| the monster meeting were presented TO
! the body and distributed.
When this was done the meeting came
20 a close.
