COUNCIL DISTRIBUTES CIRCULARS
The meeting OF the Building Trades

session. with many matters of business
TO be disposed OF
After the opening OF the meeting the
first business was the listening TO the ad-
dresses OF two representatives from the
Carpenters unions OF Worcester, the
president OF the District Council and the
business agent OF one Oft OF the locals IasS tss
situation concerning one or the firms do
ing business in that city. The firm was
also established in Pawtucket and the
carpenters thought that by appearing ana
explaining the situation, they would be
able To have the same action taken here
that had been taken at Worcester.
The explanations were heard and then
the body decided to appoint a committee
10 look over into the matter.
The next business OF Importance was
the voting TO publish 1900 circulars and
TO send TO all the members or the council
stating that for the past few months
there was a lack OF regard for the work
ing card and that hereafter the rules OF
the card were TO be strictly enforced.
Business Agent Sullivan reported the
fact that the two large Jobs at which
there had been trouble had been settled
and now all the men are at work and
who would furnish the jobs would be
union forces
The electrical workers stated that one
OF the electrical firms OF the city, Charles
H. Busch, was unfair To them and asked
for the same action by the council. The
matter was discussed and the concurrent
action taken.

bers OF the Labor day committee was
absent from the city and could not at
tend the meetings Il was decided TO elect
another In his place. This was done and
Mr. Clay was selected to fill the vacan-
cy
Some other routine matters were takon
under discussion and disposed OF, after
which the meeting closed.

some OF the shops that arc not union
