4. 4. QUINN
TAKES ACTION
Attempts to Attach Books Of
Newark Carpenters.

Actions of Arthur A. Quinn, of
this city, first vice-president of the
International Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners OF America, has
caused trouble between Local No. t.
1877, of Newark, and the Information
al brotherhood and the district
council to be brought into the courts.
Charges have been preferred against
the Newark local and General Pres
ident William d. Huber has suspend
ed the local. He accordingly sent
Mr.. Quinn to Newark with directions
to attach the funds of the local on
deposit In the Dime Savings Bank,
and to take possession of all the
books, vouchers. papers and charter
of the union.
The attempted attachment Of the
funds. amounting to about $500,
books. etc., vas resisted by Samuel
F. Leber, who had been retained by
officers Of the local, with the result
that the bank still has the money,
neither side being able to draw it
out. Proceedings have been begun
against the bank by Mr.. Leber, and
the case Ia on the second district
court docket OF Newark for trial on
Monday.
The officers and members of Lo-
cal No. 1887, which Is composed of
Jewish carpenters and joiners, are
practically a unit In laying the
blame for all the alleged harassment
to which the organization has been
subjected at the door of Business
Agent A. r. Wyatt, of the District
Council.
When protests sent by the local
to the District Council proved futile,
that body upholding Wyatt. the To-
cal. in June Of last year, appealed to
General President Huber, with the
result that a man named Botterill
was sent by Huber to Newark with
directions to "do everything possible
to adjust matters"
The last straw" as Mr.. Leber put
1t, was an u1timatum from President
Huber, prefxed with a statement
that he had read the charges and
answer, and II herewith legally sus-
pend you from the brotherhood, in
accordance with Section So of the
general constitution, and I have au-
thortzed First Vice-President Quinn
to attach your funds, take charge of
your books, vouchers, papers and
charter, and he will be obeyed and
respected accordingly" ETC., etc.
