has not been set, the arrangements
committee, appointed week ago are at
work. It is made up Of the following
members: W. r. Murphy, J. A. Nc

with a number of men Of international
reputation as to date convenient for
them, as it is desired to have them
present. Invitations nave been sent to
the officers of the international brother
hood and it Is understood that at least
one will respond. James Kirby, presi-
dent, and A. G. Bainbrtdge, third vice
president: Of the Structural Building
Trades Alliance, spoke before the union
recently in behalf Of the alliance and
urged the formation Of a local branch.
During his stay here, Mr.. Kirby visited
most. Of the trade organizations in the
interest of his alliance.
Wisconsin will receive some attention
at the hands Of the International Bro:
therhood Of Carpenters and Joiners Of
America, and a campaign Is being
planned for that state which may result
in q thorough, organizing Of all the
building trades. Philip Carlin, gener-
al organizer in the northwest for the
brotherhood. has been ordered to visit
number of Wisconsin cities and start
the ball rolling, and he left here Sat
urday night on a trip which will keep
him away for at least two weeks. Be-
fore returning he will visit Eau Claire
Chippewa Falls Stevens Point, Nee
nah, Menaslia. Oshkosh, and probably
Milwaukee,. wisconsin is about as
poorly organised as any state in the
union and presents a fertile field from;
union standpoint for the work OF
the organizer. sssst..ss a
