Unions Accept
u s
Code of Reform
Building Trades Committee
Agrees to Recommends
tions, Some of Which Go
to National Labor Body
Initiation Fee Limited
Shops to Pass OIL Number
of Apprentices; Double
Pay Penalty Restricted

The final conference on the eighteen
recommendation of Samuel Untermyer
made on behalf Of tho Lockwood lcgis-
lativc committee on building and hous-
ing was held yesterday at Mr. Inter
myers residence, 2 East Fifty-f fourth
Street. The subcommittee Of five, rep
rcscntng the building trades unions,
attended,
Although there were notifications
and ampliiications in certain particu-
lars, the tentative agreement reached
when he met the full committee Of the
Building Trades Council and other
unions, was adopted.
The reforms proposed now will go
before the executive committee of the
State Federation Of Labor for approval.
Those over which the local or state
bodies have no jurisdiction, such as
constitutional amendments. will carry
with them to the national or inteyna-
tional bodies the approval Of the To-
Gals.
Reform Points Accepted
The reforms disposed of at yestcr-
days conference are:
Initiation fees are not to exceed $75
in any union. Whatever may be the
amount, $25 shall be payable at the
tiIUt Ol III llullUIl anu Inc DAldHCe IN
weekly instalmcnts of IS week.
Who're the fee is $50 or under, but one
payment will be made.
While the Lockwood committee
agreed to let twenty years be the out
side age for apprentices, the unions
must repeal all provisions limiting
the number Of apprentices to be en-
ployed in any shop, leaving it to the
employers and employees to decide be-
tween them how many apprentices the
shop needs. Where they cannot agree
the force Of apprentices is to be fixed
by arbitration before the board of that
particular trade.
Paragraph of the eighteen, requir-
ing semi annual audits of union ac-
counts by a public accountant, was
to permit union to select an
accountant instead of to elect him.
This was changed to prevent an ac-
countant from being considered a
Of the union.
Regarding the imposition of fines
upon employers by unions, it is spcci-
fed that the new regulations will not
interfere in the making of legal CON
tracts.
Ruling on Appliances
Demands and 10, regarding the CEN
soring Of designs for buildings and the
use of various appliances that can be
more cheaply assembled in the employ
er's shop, state that the unions shall
not be required to handle non-union
One exception is made to the above
New-York tribune., 1922-01-05

that the plumbers shall have an OPP
portunity to demonstrate their conten-
tion that the anti-siphon trap Is not
sanitary.
A request is to be made by the
Lockwood committee of the Bureau Of
Standards and Appeals to reconsider its
approval of the anti-siphon trap in
order to make sure that no unsantary
device may come into use. Otherwise
any device that has the approval Of the
city authorities is to be handled by the
unions.
The ninth paragraph is to be so con-
strued that'in all bylaws passed there
under by the unions provision may be
made for penalizing employers who fail
to pay their mon until after quitting
time to the extent only Of requiring
the period Of delay, but in no event
shall such pcnnlty extend beyond one
days regular pay.
Clause on Membership
Paragraph IL, demanding that men
convicted of extortion be made incli-
gible for future office in unions. is
changed to except those officers whose
convictions followed The carrying out
of the orders Of the union membership.
The plumbers wish to go on record
as denying that there is any union
regulation requiring every plumber to
have helper when at work and that
the iourneyman plumbers arc not in
favor of any such requirement. The
report states that whatever there is to
this complaint is said to be q burden
imposed by the master plumbers with
out the encouragement Of the union.
The unions committee consisted Of
Patrick Crowley, president of the
Building Trades Council; Martin Nc
Cue, business delegate of the Steam
filters Union; Patrick Drew, business
agent Of the Plumbers Union; Richard
Patterson, president Of the Sheet Metal
Workers. Union; Thomas Clark, bust
ness delegate of the Electrical Work

tion as at least will bring about n
better coordination of effort.
Congress has passed the so-called
Sheppard Towner act" "To Promote
the Welfare and Hygiene of Maternity
and Infancy" The benefits OF the act
may be accepted for the state. either
by the Governor or the Legislature.
Those benefits are $4,000 for the year
ending June 80 1922, and $4,000 each
year thereafter for five years; also
$4,000 annually for five years to be
divided among the states in proportion
to population and to be matched by the
states accepting the benefits. The
State Of New York would receive. under
the latter provision, Approximately
$4,000 per year. In case the state ac-
cepts the benefits of tho act, the
Division Of Child Welfare in the Dc
partment Of Health is the proper
agency to supervise the work The
moneys contributed by the state and
Federal government should not be con-
sumed by overhead or administrative
expenses, as will be the tendency, but
should be turned over to local agencies
which alone can do effective work.
l submit to the Legis laturc the uucs-
tion of accepting the benefits of the
act, and If accepted, the method to be
adopted to carry it out.
Rural Schools
NO more important educational prob
lem exists in the state than that sug-
gested by the present condition of tie
rural schools. The state has gradually
increased the amount of its contribu-
tions to the support Of common schools.
but the rural schools have not i'm
proved. The cost of maintaining in
efficient schools is now an excessive
burden in many districts, oven with
the increased state aid The variation
IN the tax rate among the rural schools
is so great as of itself to establish the
need of a reform All competent TO
speak upon the subject agree that there
should be different unit, both for
purposes of taxation and administers
ton. An act was passed in 1917 to
establish township system, but the
attempt was unfortunately inaugurated
and produced conditions which led to
the repeal Of the act tho next year.
Any change now made to be successful
must have back of it the support of
those Immediately and vitally CON
cerned in the rurnl school problem
No new system imposed upon the rural
population of the state from Albany

Telephone investigation
The Public Service Commission has
upon its own motion entered upon q
statewide inquiry Of the business and
property and intcrcompany relations
of the New York Telephone Company
for the purpose of determining tho
facts upon which to base rate
structure TOR tho different localities of
the state. The various municipalities
of the state for the last two years
have been urging such a course. One
hundred and thirty-fivc complaints of
telephone rates have been filed, most of
them more than two years ago, but
hearings have been had to date in only
three cases. thus proving the necessity

each Of tho municipalities Of the state

its nature, as the commission must

think the public should also be repre-

1T be made the duty of the Attorney
General to represent the public in said
proceeding. I am advised by COM

who have filed the complaints above
referred to with the Public Service
Commission, that that course will be
satisfactory to them

important subject to deal with at this
session than that presented by the re-
port of the Port Authority, which
