UNIONS CONTROL WORK

A study Of about 400 agreements of
building trades unions relative to the
provisions governing the practice Of
union members doing outside work. usu.
ally referred to Is CONTRACTING" shows
that this practice is very generally rec
ognized by the building trades unions
as unfair to the legitimate employers.
Many collective agreements specifl-
cally prohibit contracting or provide
for definite control of the conditions
under which the individual worker may
undertake outside work.
Such provisions were included in
practically all Of the agreements of the
carpenters, electrical workers and paint
ers, and in q large number Of the agree
ments Of fathers, plasterers, plumbers,
roofers and sheet metal workers.

with no explanation. 1t would have
seemed that the hue and cry would
have been sounded earlier.
AS the days have passed, while prepa-
rations for the judicial inquiry into the
judgeship scandals have proceeded and
Judge Crater has remained missing.
sinister suggestions have been advanced
hooking up the disappearance with the
investigation. Surely, it is urged, there
must be some relationship beyond mere
coincidence If Crater had been Ill or
care-worn or in straitened circum-
stances he might have wandered of in
delusion or in desperate expediency just
at this particular time without any re-
lation to the opening up of the magis-
tracy scandals.
At the outset of the case when 1t
was first made public that Judge Crater
had vanished there was no lack Of sug-
gestion that he had been taken for a
ride" as the Chicago phrase goes. The
thought was clear in some minds that
he knew something about the judgeship
scandals that it would be dangerous to
divulge, perhaps dangerous to others
than himself In the state Of the public
mind resulting from the revelations Of
the Ewald case such a suspicion was
not remarkable. And it was stimulated
by the evident indifference Of the
higher municipal authorities regarding
the mystery of Cratsr's disappearance.
All of this mystery may be dissipated
suddenly by Crater's temperance. He
may have just simply gone of on a
little tour of personal enjoyment. He
may have been slain for his money and
his body hidden. He may have suffered
from a temporary alteration and wan
dered out of the range Of the observa-
ton of those who know him. Or he
may have died from natural causes in
obscurity in the course of his fling at
freedom. Any of these things may have
happened as they have happened to
others. But until the exact fact of the
case is known there will remain a be-
lief in the public mind that Judge
Craters disappearance has something
TO do with the magistracy scandals,
something harmful to the prestige Of
the municipal administration, which
was so Indifferent to the uncovering Of
the truth as to the barter of judgeships
that the Governor of the State was
compelled to intervene and order an
extraordinary inquiry.
