Tho Ilotha who was captured tho other

nro solemnly warned that If they break

building traders to form ono organization, In
which would bo represented every building
trade In tho city, so that tho fi(?ht for shorter

ally. It was tho plan that whero an employer
of ono trade refused the demands of tho
men all lho other trades working on tho
samo operation should strike in sympathy.
Thirty-eight trades beeume nfilllated In tho
lengue, only two of tho big trudes, tho brick
Inyors nnd tho carpenters, refusing to Join.
Tho bricklayers wero prevented becauso ot
a technicality In their charter, but tho
Hrotherhood of Carpentera absolutely re
fused to become associated. This resulted
In tho league ordering all Its members to
refuso to work with a'brotherhood carpenter,
thus putting tho latter In tho eamo category
as nonunion men.
This declaration of .vnr caused many thou
sands of men to He Idlo for threo weeks
until today, when tho United Iibor league,
which had been chrtcn arbitrator, decided
that the Dulldlng Trudes league ahould
loavo tho Hrotherhood of Carpenters to work
