the gas workers union has returned
from Sacramento. He states that the
JurfSdictfonal dispute between his
union and the plumbers in the capital
city was placed in the hands of the
executive committee of the federated
trades council. and its decision was to
refer the entire matter to the eXecU-
tive council OF the American federation
of labor. The plumbers objected to
the gas workers connecting up gas
stoves and heaters. The gas workers
claim this work belongs TO their mem

of labor has granted a charter to the
gas appliance and stove filters. and
as there is no such organization in
Sacramento the work should be done
by a gas worker instead of the
plumber.
