Carpenters Action

To the Editor Of The Times
Carpenters Local Union No. rs in
regular meeting July 26, severed its
utilization with the Central Labor
Union of indianapolis. The Central
Labor Union was organized as an In
dustrial body and as such the car.
penters were proud to cooperate in Its
activities to promote the best inter
ests of the working class Of citizens,
but realizing that It has ceased lately
to function as an unbiased industrial
organization we are of the opinion
that to remain longer a member Of
the c. L. u. would only jeopordize the
neutral position which the carpenters
feel should be the dominating principle
Of all industrial bodies regarding ques-
lions other than those affecting labor.
