bR|CKlAYERS OUT
THE COUNCIL.

OAKLAND, Sept. 2e.-Trouble over
the strike OF the hodcarriers in this
city few weeks ago has resulted in
the severance of all affiliation between
the Building Trades Council of Ala
media County and the local Bricklayers'
Union. Notice has been served on the
council by the union that all relations
between the two bodies are now at an
end and that the bricklayers will hence
forth refuse to accept the jurisdiction
of the council.
This means that at the end of the
present month every bricklayer belong
ing to the union will be without the
Building Trades Council working card
and as the members OF all unions anil
lated with the council are prohibited
from working with any but those who
carry the card 1t is feared that build
ing operations will be seriously af-
feeted
Some members of the Carpenters
Union, which is affiliated with the
Building Trades Council. have already
refused to set window frames and floor
joists for the bricklayers, and more
trouble is likely to follow
The present trouble was caused when.
after giving three days notice of a
demand for an increase of wages the
members of the Iaborers' Protective
Association fthe hodcarriers) went on
strike, and the master brfcklayers Sc
cured members of the Internatf onaI
Hodearriers' Union to take the places
or the strikers. The latter organiza-
ton Is not recognized by the Building
Trades Council. which refused to sane
tion the change.

for Oakland as it now exists and to
give at reduced cost the benefit Of
municipal government TO the DISTRICTS
now outside.
AS soon as the requisite number of

STUDENT AFFAIRS
IN NEW HANDS.
Professor Green, Leader OF
Committee in Charge OF
Them at Stanford, Resigns
DURAND is SUCCESSOR

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Sept. 90
A radical change in the management or
student affairs at Stanford University
and one that indicates an entirely dll-
ferent policy in the control OF the un-
dergraduates-a change which has
caused more comment in the last Few
hours than any other action in years
was sprung late this afternoon through
the ONCE OF President David Starr Jor-
dan. An official announcement was
made to the students that Professor X
L. Green. chairman of the students ar
fairs committee. had decided TO VITA
draw and that the entire personnel
the COMMITTEES would be changed
This announcement carries great sig
nfficance 1t Indicates that President
Jordan has decided to act upon sus-
gestions submitted by representative
students and will change the policy OF
the faculty in dealing with matters or
disciplining the undergraduates This
duty has for many years fallen upon
the shoulders OF Professor Green, as
chairman of the committee Much dis
satisfaction as to the methods OF Pro-
fessor Green and his committee has
been expressed at headquarters during
the last year.
Notable among the eases complained
Of was that OF Ben s Allen. forced to
leave college because of certain edito-
rial comments which he published In
the Daily Palo Alto as the student edi-
tor. Those attacks were aimed at the
old students affairs committee and his
withdrawal was requested.
This matter aroused widespread COM
ment and many conservative students
consulted with Dr. Jordan regarding
the matter.
The reason of Professor Green's res
ignation is given out as being necessi-
tated by other duties requiring the at
tention of the chairman. Professor
Green is an associate professor Of math-
ennatics and a director OF the students
cooperative bookstore corporation He
made a reputation before coming to
Stanford, in an Eastern college for
skill in unraveling student disorders
and has been engaged in several affairs
of this nature since becoming a MEM
Der OF the Stanford faculty.
The entire committee will be started
anew. Professor Durand. who was
lately added to the personnel Lenox.
Shaw and Price have asked to be ex-
cused. Professor w. F. Durand is the
new chairman and will pick his own
committee.
Professor Durand is one of the best
known and most popular members OF
the faculty. He is the head of the me-
chanical engineering department. and
is one of the trio of professors compos-
ing the engineering commission in
charge of the rebuilding of the univer-
sity.

sidered II so serious that he had YER
