TWO STATES MAY JOIN
CENTRAL LABOR UNION
Scheme to Enlarge Local Organization Is Now Under
Way-Wl Be Taken Up Soon at Regular Meet
ng-Many Advantages in Such a Plan

\ vigorous campaign or organization,
that viii make the local Central La
Dor Union interstate in its scope, will
be inaugurated by the leaders Of the
Washington labor movement In week
or two.
This campaign has as its objective
the organization of a Tri-State Central
Labor Union taking in the District or
Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
such an organization. it is claimed.
would lend unity and greater strength
TO the movement in each of the States,
and in the District II would be like
the district organizations of the vari-
Gus trades. which concentrate and solid
ify the work, and at the same time
bring the contiguous locals into close
touch.
The business interests of the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland and Fir-
ginia are closely allied, and most Of
them are Interstate in their scope. Even
the big builders OF Washington have
branches, and do work in the cities and
small towns of Maryland and Virginia
This fact was forcefully brought out
in the building trades strike and lock-
out last year. It was discovered that
the builders i'm Washington, against
whom the strike was declared. were
doing business in Marunsburg. Hagers-
town, Frederick and other towns in
Maryland. and in Leesburg, Bluemont.
and other points in western Virginia
and West Virginia.
Movement Is Recent.
Recently a movement was started for
the exchanging Of fraternal delegates
between the Central Federation Union OF
Baltimore and the Central Labor Union
of Washington, and the plans for this
exchange undoubtedly Will meet with
success in the near future. The move
was prompted by the fact that the
Employers Association Of the Building
Trades n Washington, and the Balu-
more Employers Association afhlated
at the time Of the building trades strike
and lockout here. and the Baltimore
builders aided the Washington men ma
teriauy.
The new movement, however, is much
wider in its scope It contemplates the
formation of a tri-parute organization
of the two States and the district OF
Columbia, with the possible inclusion
later of West Virginia and PennsyI-

erful and influential than -4e various
State declarations.
The idea is entirely original. as no
similar organization has ever been
formed in the United States. The
new body will be composed of dele
gates from the Central Labor Union
Of Washington and the State fedora

representation has not yet been de-
cided upon. although there viii prob

pleted an inquiry for the national con.
servation commission which shows that
in recent years the productivity of the
soil is increasing in marked degree.
Mr.. Wilson ascribes this to better
knowledge OF the soil, brought about
by the agricultural colleges, the agri-
cultural press and the department Of
agriculture. Secretary Wilson says
the mountain streams in many cases in
the West are declining and drying up
owing to the fact that their sources are
stripped of timber. How to remedy
this, especially where the sources are
above the snow line, is big problem
