borers. with it's membership OF
about 100000. cannot be reinstated
in the American Federation of Labor
until it has turned over to the build
ing trades unions it's members now
engaged in station construction work.
This decision was made here today
by the executive council of the build
ing trades department of the fedora
ton. which received request from
the maintenance of way employees for
reinstatement. The union declared
it's Willingness to agree to transfer
10 the respective unions in the build
ing trades "those members now with
in our organization who properly
come under the jurisdiction of other
international unions"

j. B. Malloy, grand vice president of
the Maintenance of Way Union, who
received the verdict of the building
trades council. said he would i'm
mediately take the matter up with
the other grand officers of the organ
iZation. He pointed out that it would
take from eight to twelve months to
make the transfer if it was decided
to obey the request of the council.
and that between $4,000 and 10000
members would be lost by his organ

Officials of the union declared that
the matter probably would be fought
out on the floor of the convention in
Denver in June, and the ultimatum of
the council disregarded for the pres
ent.

The building trades council protest
ed to the federation council that the
alliance has not given up Jurisdiction
over construction work in the moving

tinue further encroachments. The
alliance denied the charges and claims
that it has turned over the jurisdic-
ton of this work to the building
trades

atives of the executive council the

Five Army officers at the instruc-
ton of Secretary of War Weeks have
begun a study of the activities of

study the school military organiza-
ton, school officials contend, indi-
Gates that Secretary Weeks will use
the local cadet corps as a model for
colleges of the country. This infer
ence is based on the fact that upon
the completion of their inspection
here they are going to high schools
and colleges in other sections of the
United States having military or
CARNATIONS and introduce to them
some of the methods used in Wash
ingtOn.
