Trouble is Result Of Old Dispute Be-

Council and State Organization
Over Money Claimed to Be Due
-McEwen In for Jolly Good Roast.

Indications point to lively time at
the meeting of the Federation council
to be held at Federation hall, St. Paul,
this afternoon. For long time the
Building Trades council of this city has
been unable to get any satisfaction
from Secretary W. E. Nc
Even in regard to a sum of money
owed by the federation to the council
Matters have reached an accute stage,
and the information is given out that
Mr. McEwen has repeatedly ignored
communications from the officials Of
the council asking for settlement.
The obligation arose at the time of the
litigation in connection with the Car

trades came to the front with the
money necessary to carry the cases thru
the courts.
Had an Understanding.
This money was advanced upon the
understanding that the body would re
imburse the local organization later on,
and at a subsequent meeting the matter
was taken up by the Federation and
part of the amount allowed. In spite
J
ago, the cash has not been forthcom-
ing, and now it is claimed insult has
been added to injury in the neglect of
Mr.. McEwen to recognize or reply to
communications bearing on the matter.
At last night 8 session Of the Build
ind Trades council, the executive board
members were instructed to attend the
meeting and prefer charges against
Secretary Treasurer McEwen, and an
effort will probably be made to have
him removed from office. The charges
to, be presented have not been made
public.

council who are in sympathy with the
step of the local political committee of
the State Federation in indorsing GER
tain candidates will make an effort to
of the three Minneapolis members of
the council are bitterly opposed to the
action taken by the committee, and at
least one St. Paul member is said to be
of the opinion that the committee far
exceeded its authority
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on the council to take the matter
up and to repudiate the Endorsements
made outside of the limits prescribed
by the resolution passed in the conven-
ton, and lively time is promised. The
council is made up, as follows: Mime
W. Turner; St. Paul, t. F. Thomas, P.
I. Farrell and A. H. Garfield; at large,
Garfield Morrison, Mankato.
An invitation is extended to union
men in general to attend the session
and it is likely that there will be q
large attendance.

that would undoubtedly be much appre-
ciated by college student especially, an
army man, yachtsman, or any one con-
nected with some particular organization
in which colors are employed, Is cigar ash
tray, made Of linen, glass and metal. At
present these may be bought ready made
only at the most exclusive shops, and they
have not so far been duplicated in machine
manufactured goods, SO that they are pretty
sure to remain unique for year at least.
The tray of gun metal, copper, brass or any
other metal desired is selected Of the proper
shape, preferably rectangular. 1t should be
deep enough to bear false bottom of card
board and glass. Cut the cardboard to fit
the bottom exactly. Have a piece Of glass
cut in exactly the same size. The linen
should be enough larger to cover the card
board on both sides In the very center
embroider the monogram of the person for
whom the tray is intended. If it is for col
lege man use appropriate colors, and the
linen and the embroidery together should
carry out the college scheme. Harvard,
being all crimson, should simply have the
monogram in very heavy silk of the same
color, but raised sufficiently to show. Yale
blue should be done in the same way. Co.
lumbia looks best with a white monogram
on a pale blue ground. The red and blue
of Pennsylvania and the yellow and black
embroidery is done fold over the cardboard
smoothly, sew the linen together on the
under side, then place the glass over the
cardboard and bind them together with
