CARPENTERS IN CONTEST.
The first business transacted at the
! meeting OF the carpenters last evening
was the consideration OF the report OF the
membership committee when the names
OF two applicants were presented and
four candidates initiated.
The committee on the blackboard made
q report OF progress and was continued
one week IL being stated that just about
that amount of time would be necessary
for the completion of the work.
The next matter OF Importance to come
before the meeting was IN announcement
that the carpenters would take part in
the contest for the banner for which the
plumbers are contesting. This action
was taken after IL was resolved not TO
have any part in the contest because OF
the demands that have been made b. the
many friends OF the members OF the craft
and the popularity of each one OF them
The fact that the Carpenters union has
entered into the contest makes IL almost
sure that they Will win the banner since
there are more than a thousand votes
right in :he hands of the members of the
craft.
The quarterly circular relating to trade
conditions was received from hea adQuar-
ters and showed that the whole craft was
enjoying A period OF prosperity and there
was now great satisfaction at the state
OF affairs. The demands were not SO
numerous this year as has been the
case I'm the past.
There was also communication re-
ceived from the Carpenters council re-
lstive to the calling OF mass meeting TO
review trade conditions and 70 discuss
| trade matters, Il was the sence OF the
| communication that the meeting be called
| in ten days and the body concurred.
After several other matters OF great i'm
portance came before the meeting the
| session closed

another of their brothers, the late James
| l.. Faye. who for so many years was not

! larity, and length of time in the union

ing become a member when the charter

From the time that the body was
| formed till his death he remained one OF
, the truest OF the members and one of tht
