BUILDERS FORM
NATIONAL union
Contractors to Unite All Building
Exchanges to Determine Es-
Sentia| Work.

News from Atlantic City is to the
effect that the building trades con-
tractors met in convention there this
week and practically agreed to form
nationwide organization. They
will unite all of the building ex-
changes or employers unions in this
industry, in all the cities, and will also
take in the thousands of contra citing
and building firms that are not men,
bers of the city exchanges. They
hope in a short time to have a 1901
per cent organization of these employ
ers.
One of their first jobs will be to
ask the government to explain what
kinds of building activities will be
considered Essential" during the war,
SO that the contractors may share up
the business and keep out of bank
ruptcy. Later on they may deal with
labor problems

the graceful thing for his own
pleasure, he issued Invitations tC
all New Iberia Boys to have din

ing touches Of their course in fit
ting themsel yes for the part they
were destined to play in the great

While the thought suggests it
self, that some may not return, 1t
was foreign to the minds of all to
entertain any but the most cheer
ful ideas and truly spirit of fra
ternity and cOmradship. SO pleas
ant was that dinner party that it
will long be cherished memory
with all the participants Mr..
King speaks of it as one of the
real pleasure giving events of his
outing and looks forward to the
day when a propitiOus Providence
will vouchsafe the privilege to all
to celebrate the return and reunion
under the banner of Uncle Sam
and World Peace.
After spending several days
with his nephew he turned his face
homeward, following the western
bank of the Father Of Waters
He brings with him many views of
The scenes he enjoyed, forming

outing. While away he partici
