TRADES council
UPHOLDS MARBLE
WORKERS UNION
Decides Slate Workers Must
Refrain from Structural Set
ting of Slate.

The Essex Trades Council last night
took sides with the Marble Workers
Union in its long standing quarrel
with the Slate Workers Union. I'm
less the Slate Workers Union stops
the structural setting of slate its del
egates may be unseated in the eoun'
ell. The marble workers claim that
this work must be done by men of
their union.
Z The council received a. letter from
the Building Trades Council last
night. saying that the slate workers
were using the Essex Trades Council
as a shield against the Building
Trades Council. The matter was re-
ferred to the grievance committee
which retired to consider.
It's report was as follows: The
committee is of the opinion that the
Slate Workers Union must abide by
the decision of the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
handed down to the council, to wit;
That the structural setting of slate is
in the jurisdiction of the marble
workers.
at is further the opinion OF TINS
council that in the event of the con-
tinued refusal of the slate workers
to abide by the above-named decision
this council can pursue no other
course than to unseat the delegates.
We also recommend that the whole
matter be brought before the next
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor for final adjustment.
Your committee would like the eoun-
ell to believe that 1t was not fright
ened into this action by the letter
from the Building Trades Council
The report was followed by a
heated debate Henry J. Lohse con-
sidered that the adoption of the COM
mittee's findings practically unseated
the delegates. Delegate L. j. waters,
of the Slate Workers Union, insisted
that its members had the right to set
slate. and intimated that they would
continue to do so. The report was
finally accepted by vote of 30 to IL.
A report was made to the council
by the committee appointed to adjust
the difficulty between the council and
Freebooter Malta over the building
of the latter's house by non-union
men. They reported that the con-
tractor offered to pay the initiation
fee of the thirty men on the job for
admission into the union, amounting
to $3.50 No action was taken.

GOODWIN

A unique example of the value of
motion pictures in bringing before the
present generation actors whose work
was enjoyed by theatregoers a decade
ago. is furnished by my Friend From
India which will be the attraction
at the Goodwin Theatre, 1863 Broad
street, Monday. Tuesday and Wednes-
day. When this famous comedy
drama, by II. A. Du Souchet. was in
troduced to Broadway, Walter +.
Perkins, by his clever portrayal of
the title role, entered the rank OF
first-class comedians. In the Edison
adaptation of the play Mr. Perkins
makes his first bow to the public as
photo-player and proves that his fun
making qualities have not diminished
one whit since his first advent as a
star.
The story deals with the fortunes
of the family of Erastus Underholt
a self-made millionaire. who brings
his family to New York in the hope
of entering society and contracting a
marriage for his son and daughter
with members of the Four Hundred
Upon returning from a party at which
he has imbibed too freely the son.
Charlie, discovers that he has brought
home a total stranger, who is a bar
Der and student of theosophy. In or
der to prevent his father from dis
covering the true state of affairs the
son introduces the barber as Rev.
James Tweedle my friend from
India" The millionaire welcomes the
stranger in whom he sees a bait for
society. The appearance Of the real
Rev Tweedle at the moment that
both Charlie and his friend disguise
! themselves as the reverend gentle
man in order TO get rid of the barber
! further complexities matters.
] One Of the most laughable parts OF
4 the plays is the famous mirror scene,
, in which Mr.. Perkins, in female at

1t is a remarkable fact that during
all the hot weather of the summer
season the business at Keeney's
