DECIDE TO WITHDRAW
RUMOE REGARDING LOCAL
SHEET METAL WORKERS

There was a report in circulation in build
ing circles this afternoon that the Sheet
Metal Workers Union had withdrawn from
its afillation with the Building Trades
Mechanics Council, and as soon as the
master builders organization received Of
fetal notification Of such withdrawal that
trade would be taken from under the pre-
vauing lockout ban. and its members al
lowed to resume work on all structures
from which they are now barred.
It was added that this action was taken
at a meeting of the Sheet Metal Workers
Union held Wednesday evening.
An unofficial report to the same ef-
feet had reached the headquarters Of the
employers and master builders, but an
official confirmation could not be gotten.
The statement was also made that the
steamf1tters have withdrawn from the coun.
ell, and the ban has been removed from
them. This, 1t was said, will only leave
the lockout in force against the plasterers
hosting engineers, iron workers and tile
settlers.
The union trades, the master builders
claim, are acting in harmony with them
They are the bricklayers, carpenters, paint
ers, steamf1tters and perhaps the sheet
metal workers. 1t was the opinion of one
OF the builders that the Building Trades Me-
chanics Councils is showing signs Of dis.
Indignation.

The Crystal Stream was a side wheel
river boat plying on the st. John river
between st. John and Coles Island. She
had reached the island last night on the
up-river trip and had moored there for
the night. most of the crew having
turned in before the fire was discovered.
The flames spread with great rapidity,
and the three victims were completely
surrounded by fire before they were
aroused, SO that 1t was impossible for
them to escape.
The Crystal Stream was brought here
about five years ago from New York.
She was a wooden boat and registered
16I tons net.

No 1 today rendered a decision In the case
of Edward F. Slanker against Carl Jaeger.
holding that the defendant must specifically
comply with a contract to purchase house
1885 18th street. for $500. The complain
ant alleged that in May. 1906 the defend
ant signed a contract to purchase the prop
erty from Moore & Hill. and deposited
check with them for 500. upon which. how
ever payment was stopped and the contract
repudiated. The defendant averred that he
signed the contract under misrepresenta-
ton, and that the condition of the property

to comply. The court held that there was
no question as to the jurisdiction of equity
to compel the payment of purchase money

property. following the case OF Cathcart
against Robinson in the Supreme Court of
the United States, in which the opinion was
rendered by Chief Justice Marshall, ana

to comply. and announced that decree

the country, about 1900 men. as the other
