IN 4 DISPUTE
WOODWORKERS' AND CARPEN-

The Differences Will Be Considered at

apois, Ind, to attend the third quar-
terly meeting Of the board.
Perhaps the most important matter
to come up viii be the differences be-
tween the AmalGaInated Woodworkers'
union and the Carpenters and Jo1ners,
which have arisen out Of the decision
of tho Downey joint committee. The
brotherhood has refused to accept the
findings, and the A. F. of L. has made
several attempts to force the decision
on the organization without success. It
is expected that when the board assem-
hles week from Monday this win be
the first matter to come up.
The dispute is Of long standing. Some
time ago joint committee from the
rival unions was appointed and selected
an bitrator to handle the question and
hand down g decision. Mr.. Downey
was chosen, but It was afterward dis
covered that no had been a member Of
former joint committee which had
passed upon the matter. However, an
award was handed down, and the car
penters, having previously notified the
committee to that effect, refused to &C.
cept it. Now the A. F. Of l.. will serve
notice that the decision must be ac-
copied and it's provisions enforced.

HOOKING 70 MINNEAPOLIS
General Labor Organizations Well
Represented Here.

Minneapolis has been receiving much
attention at. the hands Of national
and international unions of late. This
is accounted for in part because this
city has representatives on number
of general executive boards, which has
served to call attention to this part of
the country. The most notable of
those Of prominence in the labor move
ment who have been with us this sum-
mer was Samuel Gompers. Since then
James J. Lynch, president Of the In
ternational Typographical union;
George Murray, general organizer for
the Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners; A. E. Ireland, special organ
izer for the machinists, and William D.
Huber, the latter two Of whom are
still here, have come to Minneapolis
and looked over their respective fields.
Besides this unusual activity in in
ternational circles, local representativ es
are being sent out by state and local
unions to do organization work over
the northwest. A. G. cambridge has

A. e. IRELAND's NEW PLACE
He Is Now Business Agent of Twin
City Machinlsts' Union.

A. E. Ireland has been elected bust
ness agent Of the twin city machinists,
unions. The result of the vote of the
Minneapolis unions left Thomas Van
Lear Of Local No. 81 slightly in the
lead. The st. Paul: unions, which voted
this week, went overwhelmingly for
MT Ireland, one being reported as Civ
ing him an almost unanimous vote.
Van Lear has been a candidate for
the position a number of times, but the
fact that he is closely allied with the
socialists has been assigned as the cause
OF his defeat. For number Of months
past he has been con the road'' in
the interest of the socialist party, and
is said to be devoting all his time to
this work. Socialism is held respon-
sible to large extent by some for
the great decrease in membership of
one of the locals, which is said to have
fallen from membership Of more than
800 to scarcely 100.
+ Mr.. Ireland was sent here few
weeks ago by the officers Of the inter
national with view to Strengthening
the twin city unions, and his election
to the office of business agent, half
the salary of which is paid by the in
ternational, will give him every oppor-
unity to accomplish desired results.
He is man Of wide experience and
has been intrusted with the conduct
of several large strikes, having come
