1t is conceded that the National
Building Trades council, which has
been in existence a number of years,
has failed to accomplish the objects
sought thru it's organization. In fact,
it is said things are in worse con-
dition now than ever, with no hope Of
relief as long as the present system
continues. A local building trades rep
resentative says: "The question Of
jurisdiction of the several trades in
the building industry.is causing more
ranks, and greater annoyance and de-
lay to the building public and the
contractors, than all our troubles with

That existing conditions the country
over are being seriously considered is

J.. Spencer, we'll known as a national
building trades union official.
"A structural building trades alliance
has been organized for . the purpose OF
perpetuating the basic trades in their

part does certain indisputable rights, we
guarantee with each other that proper re-
gard shall be shown these rights and thai
we shall separately or collectively defend
them whenever they are to be assailed ant
wherever we may be called upon.
In some quarters the new organization
will be heralded as a movement lookins

A BUSINESS AGENT
The Trades Assembly Is Considering
Such an Appointments.

At Wednesday evenings meeting Of
the Trades Assembly. S. J. Stern APP
peared in behalf of the striking gar
ment workers and declared that all
attempts at a settlement of the trouble
had failed. Mr.. Stern said two or
three national officers would soon
arrive in Minneapolis to take a hand
in the conduct of the strike and that
the issue would be fought to the end.
The matter was referred to the proper
committee and the assembly will as
sist in the fight from now on.
Communications were received from
Senators Nelson and Clapp and Com
gresham John Lind relative to the
proposed increase in the appropria-
ton for the naval gun factory. The
secretary was ordered to communicate
with Messrs. Nelson, Clapp and Lind,
asking them to support the eight-hour
bill and other measures in the interest
Of labor now before congress.
The Plasterers union sent a COM
municatton notifying the assembly
! that the delegates would be with
drawn. No reason was given for the
faction.
A committee was appointed to con-
slider the advisabtllty of creating the
office Of business agent. The work
I of the assembly has assumed such
proportions that many think an agent
should be employed to devote his
whole time to the business to be trans
acted between meetings. b
A report was received from the

wages proposed by. the Nelson ordi.
