ORDERED BACK
Trades Council Outlaws
PIaSterers' Action

The Seattle Building Trades coun-
eli. at the Friday night meeting, In
structed Plasterers' Union No. II TO
return TO work ut wages and con-
ditions prevailing before the strike
OF November ~. and ordered fine
OF 5000. the plasterers 10 stand sus-
pended until they comply with this
action.
Suc1 was the announcement Sat.
urday morning Of @. w. Roberge,
secretary OF the council. In explain.
ing the fact that the local union
had been found guilty OF violating
section 81 Of the councils bylaws.
His statement follows:
Some four months ago Plaster
ers. No. II. sent a letter 10 the
Building Trades Council requesting.
Az per the law. that the council
indorse 81 incret-c for them.
THE council considered this mat.
ter at great length and out OF con-
sideration for the harmony that has
existed In the industry for some
time and out Of consideration for
the drive that is being made for a
greater and more prosperous com
munity. we decided not to indorsc
any increases in wages that might
cause strike in the industry We
therefore referred the communica.
ton back 10 Local No. II for com
sideration.
Attic the plasterer's local has
always been an asset to the coun-
ell and stood ready at all times to
| put their shoulder TO the wheel TO
make a better and bigger Building
Trades council. this action was
necessary in order 10 protect the
interests OF the council and affil.
lated organizations.
I'VE feel that the piasterers arc
not entirely at fault for this trou-
bic. but on the contrary tried TO
negotiate a settlement peacefully.
said negotiations being broken off
by the Masters Plasterer's associa-
ton.
we find upon investigation that
some OF the contractors started the
propaganda among the journeymen
for an increase in wages and they
had been led TO believe that the
! Masters Plasterers' asso ciati n
would pay the raiae when negotia-
tons started last July.
ION November s. four days pre-
vious to the strike. local AZ held a
special meeting at which the Mas
ter Piasterers' association promised
to have a committee appear and
submit counter or compromise
proposition.
This committee never appeared
and naturally this left the members
of Local II in bad frame OF
mind. when final action was TO be
taken at this meeting for tbs
strike.
1--WE sincerely hope that this mat
ter will be entirely ironed out ane
harmony restored in the buildinl
Industry OF this city, and IT is witt
the greatest Of regrets that W.
found II necessary to take this &C
cal IL. to be constructively pro
gressive union. always in the fore
