DENY SCARCITY Of
SKILLED LABORERS
Building Trades Council Takes
Issue With Real Estate
Association

Denying that there is a scarcity Of
skilled labor in Salt Lake and taking
issue with the Salt Lake Real Estate as
ISOLATION, the Building Trades Council,
through its press committee, has given
out a statement to the public, signed by
j. Z. Munsey, H. +. Osborne and Farley
Burt. The statement follows:
Some weeks ago the Salt Lake Real
Estate association caused articles TO be
published in the daily papers stating that
building operations We're seriously ham
Dered by the scarcity of labor in ali the
building branches. The matter was taken
up with the several local unions. through
the Building Trades Council of Salt Lake,
and IL was unanimously shown that each
and every one Of those unions engaged
IN the building trades had members idle
at the Tune An average of - or % pei
cent of their membership were idle and
looking for work. And an article was
published In the papers at that time, by
the press committee of the Building
Trades Council stating the facts
At the present time the Real Estate
association is advertising in Collier
1 Weekly, the Saturday Evening Post and
London weekly, setting forth the i'm
a8lnaly munltlcent wages paid to labor
/ els OF every class, and asking them tC
come to Salt Lake and as we POSITIVELY
know, incorporating the labor situa.
tlon here In order to induce them to dc
SO.
Inc ldCL Is, ana can easily be proven
that building operations are retarded by
/ Iack OF material, and at the present time
~ the inclemency Of the weather. ana
not by any scarcity Of skilled labor.
AnC -her significant fact is that a large
percentage of the membership of the
| building trades unions of Salt take are
taxpayers, men OF families owning thei'
own homes, and just as much interested
I IN the growth and prosperity of the city
as the Real Estate association.
. a O. N.7
I Council would be pleased to meet a IN
committee from the Real Estate asso
clau0n, at any time, and show the trrl
Of the above statements.

last night. 1T will not be missed by those
giving the clothing. but it viii mean much
to the children who have not sufficient
clothing. There viii be no giving of
money. Many times we have noticed chill
dren I'm the schools who have been forced
to quit school because they did not have
sufficient clothing or shoes, and in call
ing the matter to the attention of the
Salvation Army, or some other charity,
they have been provided for and not de
pyived of a schooling through financial
need on the part of the parents. We feel
that we can pay them back in this man
ner and also make the Christmas pleasant
for many children"
The exercises in the public schools,
which will be given this afternoon, are
more complete this year than ever be
fore, and the giving of old clothing by
the children in the name of charity viii
furnish one of the most unique features
Of the day.

A real expression of the Christmas spirit
will be seen in all Of the city schools this
morning when children from thousands
of homes I'm Salt Lake win take shoes,
stockings and all sorts of wearing ap-
parel for the other children of the city
less fortunate than they in the matter
Of winter clothing.
The giving of clothing for the poor
children of the city came as request
to the teachers Of some of the schools
from the children and from them was re-
ferred TO Superintendent d. Fl. Christen-
sen. The idea was at once taken up and
principals i'm each of the schools were
told that these evidences Of the Christ
mas spirit would be most acceptable. AS
a result Of the little talk by teachers in
the class rooms, hundreds of children Will
take clothing and provisions to the schools
this morning, to be collected and turned
over to the Salvation Army officials to
be placed in homes where needed.

To Build Opposite Post Office.

On the east side of POstoffce. place,
between the New York hotel building ana
the property known as the Doull drug
store corner, recently purchased by the
Walkers, Nj Bamberger and his son own
property with an aggregate frontage OF
about 155 feet. with a good depth. Inc
terminal station will be built on this prop
erty.
There are several circumstances which
give rise TO the belief that there is much
foundation for the rumOr. Cmet among
these is the fact that recently an otlef
was made for the Bamberger property
described. and the reply was MADE that
it was not for sale ST any price. 1t seems
evident from this that the Bamberger in
terasts have not given up the idea OF con-
structing a terminal on that property
The franchise still runs for a long term
of wears and is considered a most VaIu-
able concession in view of the many i'm
provements that have been made in that
section of the city within the past three
years.
Another fact which gives rise to the be-
lief that the right of franchise VIII soon
be exercised IS that no Improvements nave
been made on the terminal facilities on
Third West and South Temple streets
since the line has been in operation. Og-
den has a good terminal station and yard
facilities at Tnirty-first street and Wash
ingt0n avenue, and Salt Lake. the prin-
ciDal city on the line, can i'll afford to be
