CARPENTERS WILL
NOT RETURN TO
TRADES COUNCIL
Say That Body Did Not Stand
by Them in Their
Trouble.

Complications between the district
councils of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and the Orange Building
Trades Council have reached a crisis,
and may lead to tying up of some or
all building operations in the COM
munity next week. The carpenters
have been dissatisfied with their as
sociates in the Building Trades Coun-
ell since trouble with Newark firm,
said to be the Russell Robinson Con-
struction Company, dating from June
last. 1t was claimed by the carpenters
that in their dispute over non-union
labor their colleagues had not stood
by them as they had wished, and as
result the decision to retire from the
Trades Council formulated by the dis
trict councils of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters was ratified by Carpenters
Union No. $40, of Orange, on Thursday
night and by East Orange Local No.
GAL last night.
The carpenters, though affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor, say they will not return to the
Building Trades Council under present
existing conditions.
The controversy dates from June 21
last, at WHICH IllIl6 Tie bTOlneT0OOu
of Carpenters struck against the New
ark firm in question and the disagree
ments that came in open secession we're
the result.
Labor men in the Oranges are sur
prised at this outcome said a we'll
known labor leader today in discuss
ing the affair, ''as the officers and dele
gates of the Orange Building Trades
Council have been we'll known in the
field of labor for many years, and al
ways noted for conservative action In
all labor disputes. Secretary Max
Hangs, of the Orange Building Trades
Council. declined to make statement
today on the trouble, but said that
some official word night be forthcom-
ing on Monday
Orange has been free from serious
labor troubles for several years, al
though there have been frequent little
tiffs between the workmen and employ
ers. and these have usually been settled
amicably and to the satisfaction of both
sides. The secession of the two branch
es of the Carpenters Union, the only
organizations of that craft in the Or
anges, marks a serious breach, and the
masons and bricklayers, painters,
plumbers and other building trades rep
resented are confident OF an early set
tlement of the row. That the division
will be permitted to exist is not gener-
ally believed. and the labor men are
anxious to have next week over, as that
period will in all probability see the set
tlement of the affair one way or the
other. There are several thousand men
in membership of the Building Trades
Council, and the carpenters local num-
bers several hundred men.

CANAL COMMISSION NOW
SEEKS TO UNLOAD IT'S JUNK.

WASHINGTON, Oct S.-An accumu-
lation of surplus and unserviceable
equipment is reported by the Isthmian
Canal Commission as on hand in the
canal zone. Owing to the increase of
dead stock on the isthmus, estimated
as amounting to between 5000, 900 and
s3o0,0O0, 1t has been determined to
build a storehouse for condemned
property.
The canal commission finds diff
Guilty in disposing of heavy machinery,
which would-be purchasers have no
opportunity to see. The new plan is
to allow the stock to accumulate on
the isthmus until there is sufficient
quantity on hand to warrant pros
pective buyers visiting the isthmus
to see it. 1t is believed that a great
deal OF this material could be sold to
buyers in Central and South America,
as well as in the United States.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The cotton
market had one Of the most active ard
excited openings so far for the ball
movement with first prices anywhere
from 10 to 25 points above the closing
figures of last night, owing to the sem
sational strength of Liverpool, and re-
ports of big demand for spot cotton
from the mills. The initial figures
made new high records for the reason
with the result that there was heavy
realizing as well as some fresh selling
for turn, but short sellers were very
cautious owing to bullish trade advices,
and there was renewed buying on a re-
