ship produced by the gathering together
of kindred souls. AS president of the
National Press Club of Washington, Mr..
Dodge holds a guiding hand on an or
ganization which is now famed the coun-
try over as the haven Of men Of Ideas.
He believes in press clubs. He also be-
lieves in running a press club as a busi-
ness establishment would be run. and
therein lies the secret OF the National
Press Clubs great success-in that and

SUPPORT By CENTRAL union
Strike of Carpenters Endorsed and
Builders Posted.
Furniture House Employees Also De-
eide ia Quit Work and Are
Pledged Financial support.

Central Labor Union at its meeting
last night pledged its support to thu
striking carpenters and posted the four
teen contracting firms whose men have
QUIT work.
An interesting situation developed IN
the discussion OF this difficulty with the
builders. A statement. amounting praeu-
cally TO an open charge. was made that
members Of one Of the carpenter organ
izations afflliated with the Central Labor
Union were acting as "strike-bgeakers"
by filling the places with the posted
firms, The charge was evaded by the
alleged offending union.
Differences between a business house
and its employees were brought TO
the attention Of Central Union, and
the determination OF the employees 10
strike was approved, with pledge of
moral and financial support. This strike
will affect, it is said, $50 men. The state
ment was made that the firm had de-
manded that its employees join the mas
ter and craftsmen organization.
Immediately after the meeting q con-
ference between Arthur c, Moses. a men,
Der of the firm. and a committee Of the
unions was held at his request, but II
proved fruitless 10 avert the strike.
Subsequently, Mr.. Moses said: This
trouble was precipitated by a strike OF
our paperhangers on Saturday. We filled
their places, naturally. There was no
question OF wages or hours involved We
pay the maximum Of wages. and OF
course. conform 10 the recognized rule
as to hours. It is not true that we de-
mand that the men join tie employers
organization.
In the main, We are IN sympathy with
the principles of the labor unions, but
with some of their principles and practices
We are wholly out of sympathy. We do
not ask whether a man is a union OF a
nonunion man, but contend for the right
to conduct our business as our Judgment
dictates There is nothing elsa to be said
on the subject, except that we have al
ways treated our employees with absolute
fairness and shall continue to do so
whether they be union or nonunion
men
