A clause in the provisions for those

KIRBY For CONSERVATISM.
President of Building Trades Depart
ment, A. F. l., Addresses Convention.

Tampa, Fla, Oct. 11.-Conservatism
ganization under his supervision was
the keynote of the annual address of
James Kirby, president of the build
ing trades department of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, at the second
annual convention of the department.
At the same time he reviewed what
had been accomplished partly by quiet
negotiations with employers and part
ly by forcible action against them, in
the behalf of building trades during
the IL months since the last conven-
ton at Denver.
while we cannot for one moment
surrender our right to take sympa-
thetic action where sister organiza-
ton is in peril" said he, yet oft times
building trades councils are prone to
hasty action on the theory that quick
action must be taken or the job on
which the work Is being done may be
completed. Admitting that on small
buildings this may be true. am Of
the opinion that it would be better to
complete the Job on which the conten-
ton arose providing repetition can
be prevented, than to endanger the
dissolution of the council"
He said quite frequently 1t had been
found that local building trades coun-
ellis have inaugurated movements
without consulting either their own
international organization or the
building trades department. These
hasty actions, he told the convention,
were seldom successful and quite fire.
quently were very disastrous.
In order to reduce to the minimum
the injurious effects of friction in To-
cal labor organizations, he recon-
mended to the convention that the
laws Of the building trades depart
ment be amended to provide that all
jurisdictional disputes in local build
| ing trades councils be referred at
once to the president of the depart
ment, and pending his decision no
one should be disturbed in the per-
Torrance of the work in question.
