its conclusions came as a surprise to
the convention. The letter. addressed
to William D. Huber and the other in
ternAtionHl officers. which was draft
ed at a meeting Of the governors Of the
Employers Association late yesterday
afternoon. follows:
Your request for a conference with
this association is a surprise and leads
Us TO believe that you are not fully in
formed as TO the events leading I'D TO
the present situation IN the building
Industry OF the city. There Is no con-
troversy to be adjusted by any negotia-
tons. The situation as Il exists today
is entirely Of the making OF certain Of
the local branches Of your associations
After a period Of dispute extending
over a year concerning the complete
unioniZing OF the plumbing shops Of the
city. and after several arbitrations. Capt
James F. Oyster, was agreed upon by
the Building Trades Alliance, and this
association as arbitrator.
Bad Faith Charged
Extensive hearings were had. and
award was rendered May %. directing
those unions then on strike. for the pur-
pose Of compelling the discharge OF all
non-union plumbers in the city. 10 return
to work. This award was ignored No
union returned its men, and since then
the unions in several trades have called
out their members in defiance Of IT. and
in some cases In violation OF trade
agreements. and on sympathetic grounds
only No question of wages or hours
has arisen in any trade.
after waiting a reasonable time for
the unions to return their ruen to work.
this association decided that building
operations IN the District of Columbia
must proceed with such men as were
willing to work No attempt has been
made in any trade to secure Independent
or ncn-union workmen where the union
in that trade has not first struck and
refused to allow its members to work.
Must Care for Men.
Inc tulure pollcy or Inls aSSoclaJlon
will be the same as has obtained. We
shall endeavor at all costs to see to Il
that building operations in the city are
noJ unduly delayed, and when any work
men. union or non-union, refuse to work
on any Of our Jobs for any cause. We
will fill their places with men who will
| work Above all, we will be absolutely
! loyal to such new workmen as we may
! secure as a matter Of common honesty.
We do not intend to fnaugurate any
movement for a decrease of wages or

conditions there is no occasion for any
