there will be a stampede of unions
away from the Building Trades
Council.
It developed last night that O'Don-
nell had already signed the contract
with the Examiner, out it has been
sent to the advisory board. 1t is
possible they may insist on canceling
the contract and abandoning the So
called trades union edition, because
it has not kicked up big rumpus
locally, but among International I'M
ion officials all over the country.
