IRON WORKS FOURTEENTH

", Gets the Next conVention-AIl
Old Officers Retained.

The fourteenth annual convention OF
the International Association OF Bridge
& Structural Iron Workers. which Just
concluded its labors at Minneapolis,
Mimi. after q tso weeks session was un.
doubtedly the most important and sue
cessful gathering of bridgemen in the
history of the organization.
The convention was expected to out
line the future policy of the association
as regards its protracted fight with the
American Bridge Co, and right nobly
did II arise to the occasion. The fight,
which was not of its own seeking. but
rather was precipitated by the Bridge
Co. will be fought to the bitter end. and
no matter how long il may take. There
will be no surrender of principles held
most sacred by every true bridseman en-
listed in the cause, and judged by the
spirit shown by those in attendance at
the convention. the cause of unionism
has no truer exponents than the mem
bers of the Bridgemenis Union. Just one
symptom of weakness developed during
the session in the shape of resolution
introduced by a Brooklyn delegate. in
effect that in specific instances a local
union should be allowed to permit its
members to work for the American
Bridge Co simply for the purpose of do
ing missionary work with the end in
view of winning the nonunionists over to
the union. What the delegates thought
of this proposition is made perfectly
clear by the overwhelming vote against
its adoption.
Many constitutional amendments were
adopted and will be submitted to the
membership for ratification, and a large
referred to the incoming executive board
for consideration. The report of Secre-
tary-Treasurer Mcnamara showed that
despite the heavy drain on the treasury
of the organization resulting from the
long struggles against nonunion condi-
tions which the American Bridge Co. en-
deavors to introduce. this department is
stronger now than at the inception of
the struggle. The membership is just
as large and generally employed under
union conditions. in many instances, un-
der sub-contractors for the American
Bridge Co.
The following officers were chosen for
the ensuing term: President, Frank

tract label work from non-label shop
will bring the label customer directly to
the label office. the whole profit of the
job and in all probability all other work
of such patron will continue in this fair
shop.
Another evil accompanying these meth
ods is the fact that many non-label shops
thus accommodated do not have to or
ganize their Office TO hold their patrons,
but II this privilege was denied them
they would Immediately unionize their
establishments.
This subject has been called to the at

In behalf of the Denver Allied Print
ing Trades Council, l desire to call the
attention OF every label Office. and also
the different chairmen, to unanimous
decision of the Joint Conference Board,
formulated for the guidance and instruc-
tion of local councils viz:
Decision NO. THE Allied Printing
Trades label shall not be placed on work
authenticated by label Offices from non
label ofhces."
This decision was caused by practice
of label Offices in taking work from un-
fair printing establishments that solicit
label work and farm out jobs (some-
times) in part or In whole to label Of
fee, II It is not thought advisable to take
the Job in their own office.
Besides, 1t is an advantage tc an un-
fair ofIice to show receipts for work
done in label Offices. and claim that all
their label work Is thus farmed out,
when the officers OF this council are CON
vinced the label is often Illegally dupli-

This report was presented and read to
the convention by the auditors and unan-
imously adopted and concurred .in as
was the report of the grand president,
#. j. McNulty, and grand secretary
Peter w. Collins.
Every insinuation and misrepresenta-
tion made by the seceders against the
officers of the Brotherhood was brought
before the convention in detail and dis
proved by the officers, and the conyen-
tion emphasized the confidence of the L.
b. E. w. in these officers by re-electing
them without opposition.
Copies of the reports and proceedings
of the convention will be forwarded to
the labor press.
At this convention provision was made
giving the men misled by the secession
movement, headed by ]. j. Reid and 9th
ers, an opportunity to return to the fold
of the l. B. E. w without hardship be-
ing imposed upon them. they being al
lowed to return upon payment of the
current months per capita tax.
The fight which the /. b. E w has
made against secession during the past
II months has been made for the pres
ervation of the ideals and progress of
labor against the forces of disruption. In
this fight the l. b. E. W. has been loyal
ly sustained by the American Federation
of Labor and affiliated organizations.
AS officers of the /. b. E. w. we would
therefore. ask the continuance of that
cooperation and assistance to the end
that the progress of our Brotherhood may
go on apace, so that all Electrical Work
ers can be brought into the fold of the
Brotherhood and under the banner of the
American Federation OF Labor.
