THE CARPENTERS
Big Convention at Des Moines Trans
acts Lots of Business.
The national convention of the Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners has
concluded its session at Des Moines,
and the next convention will go to
Washington, D. C. The Des Moines con
vention was the largest in the history
of the Brotherhood. In the big parade
there were 6,000 union carpenters and
millmen in line, with eeveral big bands.
The parade was reviewed by Governor
Carroll and other state officials. The
convention was addressed by Senator
Cummins, himself a union carpenter,
and the speech was reported in the
daily papers was worthy of the big
brainy, intelligent man who made it.
The carpenters of Cedar Bapids went
over on a special train and had 500
members marching behind a band of
their own. Other Iowa cities sent dele
gations of varying sizes. The conven
tion attended to a vast amount of rou
tine business and made some import
ant changes in the methods of con
ducting affairs.
Delegate Eissler returned to Lincoln
the middle of the week and will have
his report ready for the local at the
meeting Monday night.
Instead of taking advantage of Labor
Day as a holiday, the Long Beach (Cal.)
Carpenters' Union offered the services
of its members to the East Long Beach
Christian Church, which started and
finished the building of a new house of
worship between sunrise end sundown
-of that day.
All construction work in Bakersfield,
Cal., was tied up as the result of
strike of 400 carpenters. The build
era' Exchange refused to grant the
carpenters a raise from $4 to $4.50 for
eight hours' work.
W. H. Crocker, a millionaire banker of
California, wanted to have a dancing
pavillion erected in, tine .for the "com
ing eat "party of &ie young daughter.
When ke learned, that the carpenters
