THIRTEEN BUILDERS
+ TAKE TRADESCARD
CLOSED 500 Systom Will
Cause No Trouble, So
Terlisner Thinks.

Thirteen contractors outside of the
General Contractors association have
agreed to the working conditions i'm
posed by the Building Trades Council
card, OF the CLOSED shop" system, H.
G. Terlsner, business manager of the
Building Trades Council, said Tuesday
morning
Mr., Terlisner stated, that he does not
anticipate any trouble here whatever
when the card Is instituted on Aug. l.
He declares that the ''closed shop" Is
standard all over the country, and he
thinks the local contractors would be
insane to oppose 1t.
The fears expressed by the lumber
manufacturers and others that the
closed shop" will affect their common
labor to their detriment are unfounded,
Mr.. Teslisner said "Sawmil labor
could never get into the Building Trades
Council" he said, for this Is not build
ing trades labor.
Common building trades labor will
not be Immediately affected" he said,
because 1t Is not yet organized. Until
1t is organized it can not become
part of the union council"
The General Contractors association
having announced the personnel of its
committee, the union carpenters and
the members of the association are now
prepared to arbitrate their differences
according to the plea of w. H. Fitz-
Hugh, president of the Chamber of
Commerce. Mr.. FitzHugh will preside
over the two committees when they get
