BR|CKLAYERS LOSE
UNION DELEGATES
Central Body Unseats Five Un.
der Mandate From the 4. F.
Of 1. Headquarters.

Pursuant to the mandate of the
American Federation Of Labor. the
Washington Central Labor Union last
night unseated the five delegates from
the Bricklayers' Union. Nearly 75O
bricklayers in the District are affected
by the action.
Similar action is expected TO be taken
in five other large cities where central
bodies have been recognizing the brick.
layers organization. which is a union
body, but not affiliated with the Fedora
ton.
The Federation. at its last conven-
tion in Philadelphia. amended its con.
stitution by ruling that unless orsaniza-
tions are affiliated with the national
body, recognition will not be given them
in subordinate bodies.
The unseating Of the delegates last
night followed the refusal of the Ameri-
can Federation to consider favorably
the appeal of the Central Union to per-
nit the bricklayers to remain in that
organization. The Central Union in
formed the Federation that the brick
layers had a peculiar claim OH It. the
first president OF the union being a
bricklayer. and the organizers of the
local being members OF the brickma-
sons craft.
The unseated delegates are John
Wolfe. chairman: p. A. Shugrue. NJ.
a. Wolfe. Fred Negus and william
Pollard. They have for year sat in
the central body as representatives OF
Local No. !, Bricklayers' Union: af-
sons and Plasterers' international
Union OF America.
A rising vote Of than for the work
the delegates have done in behalf Of
the central body was given.
Continued refusal on the part Of the
Briclilayers. International Union to af.
Labor. together with the fight for the
control of marble work that has beer!
waged by the organizations, IL pointed
out by the bricklayers as the reason
fol- the Federation's action.
Taking advantage OF the fact that
building trades department nf the
American Federation" +. A. Shusruc
explained today. the marble workers
changed their constitution to cover all
interior and exterior stone and marble
work. This change meant the stone
work entirely. We have protested
against this violation of an agreement
made in 1907 by refusing TO join the
American Federation.
Instead we have affiliated with the
Structural Basic Building Trades Al.
lance. which includes fivc of the largest
building crafts. and which is orcanized
for offensive and defensive purposes"
The action Of the Washington Central
Labor Union in unseatins the brick
layers Is expected TO be followed by
similar action on. the part Of central
which the central unions baIe been
recognizing the unaffiliated workmen.
