BUILDING TRADES
COUNCIL GAINING
Brotherhood Carpenters Lose the Work
on the First National Bank Building
AmaIeamated Men Put On-A. r. of L.
Should be Obeyed.

The Bulletin is informed by d. Fallon,
the genial business agent of the Build
ing Trades Council, that the trouble with
the Brotherhood Carpenters on the First
National Bank building has been settled.
and that at present none but members of
the Building Trades Council in any de-
partment are employed on the Bank
building.
The trouble on this big structure was
between the Brotherhood Carpenters and
the Sheet Metal Workers. The Building
Trades department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, at the Tampa, Fla, con-
vention, gave jurisdiction over this work
to the Sheet Metal Workers, but the
brotherhood Carpenters international
union refused to abide by the decision
of this, the highest court in the labor
world, and instructed their local, so Sec
retary Mann of the Carpenters local in
formers us, to take this work. This ac-
ton on the part of the Carpenters has
brought about friction between the Build
ing Trades Council and the Carpenters,
as the latter are not AFFILIATED with the
Building Trades Council.
Superintendent Miller of the Bank
building has decided that the Carpenters
are in the wrong and has let them out.
and has placed Amalgamated men in
their places. The Amalgamated men are
affiliated with the Building Trades Coun-
ell. and of course deserve and are receiv-
ing the support of the Building Trades
Council
For labor to be successful and to keep
away from jurisdiction fights. there must
be a court of last resort and the decision
of that court must be binding on allfaf-
filiations. Although the Brotherhood
Carpenters may be the loser, in this case,
it undoubtedly behooves them to affiliate
with the Building Trades Council and en-
deavor to correct what they think needs
correcting from the inside, and abide by
the decision of the A. F. of L., for, only
by so doing can peace and prosperity
visit any locality or can union labor move
on to a higher plane of perfection.
The jurisdiction fights coming from the
Building Trades Council on account OF
the Carpenters should be stopped, and
as it is now up to the A. F. of L. to take
some action. it is believed they will soon
take steps that will bring about a settle
ment in the local situation. The local
council has asked the higher body to act
But it should be borne in mind that
the Capitalization of power-the affilia-
ton with central bodies-is the only way
that results worth while may be obtained
Let all work together to that end. and as
we work endeavor to dissolve all com
binations that tend to create distrust and
dissension.

The annual election of Denver Typo
graphical Union took place Wednesday
of this week at 1914 Glenarm street and
was as hotly contested as the one last
year. The polls were opened at IL m.
and closed at Z O'Clock, and during that
time about 400 members of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union deposited
their ballots for delegates. international
and local officers, which were made out
on three separate ballots and necessi-
tated the making of 40 crosses to vote
the ballots complete, yet the long expert
ence of the members and the knowledge
they have of current events and their
up-to-dateness enabled them to keep the
polling place fairly clear except for about
an hour and half in the evening when
there was line formed from the polling
place across the sidewalk. This shows
the rapidity with which the votes were
cast, compared with regular city cleo
ton, when they have full day for about
the same number of voters.
The race for president and delegates
were the most vital to the candidates,
and the members who opposed the poll
cies of President Close put up an excel
lent contest. considering the time their
candidate, E. w. Bowles, was in the field,
his candidacy having been announced at
the regular injecting a little over two
weeks ago. Mr.. Close received 1913 to
Bowles 1877.

Reelected for Third Consecutive Term.

The delegate race was a contest that
would make the old line politicians sit
upon and take notice. There were six
candidates in the field some of them hav-
ing automobiles to bring out voters who
were slow in getting to the polls. Rufus
P. Means was high man with IFS votes,
while d. w. Parkison received 151. These
two will be the delegates to the Mime
apolis convention in August.
The contest for delegates to the Allied
Printing Trades Council was quite inter-
esting There was eight candidates and
only three to be elected. ]. A Conkle,
who is at present delegate and secre-
tary for the council, received the largest
vote, 1874, while E. j. Hines and w. L.
Stitt. the two others elected, received 136
and 151. respectively.
For the Trades and Labor Assembly
there was a good delegation elected, men
that will place the Typographical Union
in the place it rightfully deserves.
There were but eight candidates for
ganization being entitled to that many,
so there was no contest; but it is worth
while to say that E. j. Hines, the secre-
tary-treasurer of the League, received
the high vote out of the eight, making
him chairman of the delegation, and
showing that the organization appreci-
ates the effort he has put forth in the
past year in looking after the interests
of No. 49 in the Label League.
