has been served on Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, that if he does not re-
woke the charter of the Pittsburg
General Trades and Labor council for

sentative of tn international.
The trouble here came as result
of work or the new gymnasium
building at the State Manual Train
ing Normal school. 1t was charged
that carpenters were working on the
building when hod carriers not 'affil-
lated with the union of that craft
were employed. Numbers of other
building trades unions have been
called off jobs on which carpenters
were working.
