Compares Building Trades
Conference With Going
To Church-"For Self Only"

Boston, Feb. 2.-When employees
and employers in the building trades
get together to draw up an agree
ment the public is ignored and the
conferences are concerned only with
individual salvation" James r.
AIoriarity. president of the Boston
City Council. testified today before
the special committee of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce investigating
the building situation. He was tes-
tifying for the workers
Going into conference at such a
time is like going to church for one
purpose" he said.
Asked by James z. Mcconnell.
chairman of the committee, whether
going to church did not involve "a
little more unselfish purpose. the
witness replied:
NO sir. / don't think so. l think
everybody goes to church for selfish
purposes-to help himself"
Mr.. Moriarity also asserted that the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton of Boston had coerced individual
employers to join il previous to ex-
piration of the wage agreement with
the Building Trades Council last De-
cember 81.
The witness said he had no direct
knowledge Of coercive methods used
by the employers association, except
what he had learned from talks with
individuals. From these CONVERSE
lions, he testified. he had gained the
impression that contractors had been
forced into the association by the
threat that they would be locked out
if they did not join to assist in the
fight against the. unions. He said that
a legislative inquiry would be neees-
sary ito arrive at the truth"
