Architect Us. Labor Union
BY r. E. Davidson, President Illinois Society of Architects

1t might appear to the unobserving
that the architect is not interested in
the work of the various labor unions of
the building trades, and having in mind
the many labor disputes, strikes, lock-
outs, etc, that can be directly traced to
the architects lack Of knowledge of the
relationship Of the various unions to
each other and the actual work of con-
struction, it seems also true that the
average architect is also ill-advsed
take it that the architects full duty
to his client demands that he be thor
oughy posted on the work of the var
ious labor unions their Joint committees,
the results of their various conventions
and the mandates issued by their bust
ness agents and other officers, it is only
by being SO advised that the architect can
hope to secure even reasonable success
in having his building completed without
Interruptions by disputes between the
various labor unions.
| am also of the opinion that all archi-
tects should in selecting a list of bid
ders, favor those contractors who are
affiliated with the important contractors
associations. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the central contractors associations can
do much more in regulating their mat
ters than the architects themselves The
architect should cooperate by correctly
specifying the use of the various build
ing specialties and not place, as so fire.
quently happens, building speciality I'M
der, for example, the plastering speci-
fications when the work has been award
ed by the labor unions themselves to, say,
the carpenters.
In the large cities of the United States
the building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor claim the
right of doing all new construction. This
right has been conceded by the various
contractors organization and passively
by the architect. Recognizing this con-
dition, every effort should be made to
maintain harmonious working relations

GRAND JURY SYSTEM
NO LONGER USEFUL

Cincinnati-The Cincinnati Enquirer
intimates that the grand jury system has
outlived its usefulness and does not
favor a bill before the State legislature
which would reduce the number of jur-
ors from Is to 12 and provides that an
indictment could be returned on vote
of nine members.
MANY thoughtful minds have reached
the conclusion" says the Enquirer, that
the grand jury, like the office of coroner,
has outlived its necessity for existence.
In theory it is splendidly designed De-
tached from officialdom and sitting in
secret, the private citizen might safely
bring to its attention evils which might
not command the attention of the prose-
cutting attorney. 1t was, too, to act as
a barrier against injustice on the part
of accusing police officials, sitting the
evidence and observing the witnesses
with careful scrutiny
"In practice these functions have
shriveled. Rarely does the private citi-
zen present himself to the inquisitors
with valuable information. Instead, the
prosecuting attorney, who was at the
beginning to be merely the legal adviser
of the jury and its clerk, has become its
harsh monitor Succeeding laws have
opened the jury door to the attorney
general and his deputies, who may now
enter any county, force an Indictment
and conduct prosecution without con-
sulting single person in the locality
"'The trend is now toward the abol-
ton of the system rather than the con-
centration OF its power in the hands OF
fewer men, thus making its functions
as rubber stamp all the easier for the
States attorney"
New York.-In commenting on Eng
lands announcement that grand juries
would be suspended because of the war
Professor Munroe Smith, OF Columbia
university, said:
'In the administration of justice today
in England and this country the grand
jury is really a rather ornament relic
The suspension of this system is not like
the suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus, which marks the institution of
martial law"
