Joint Board Contracts. “The letter sent. by President Sehachtman to the independent fur manufacturers has no_ significance whatsoever,” said Ben Gold, general manager of the New York Furriers Joint Board in commenting on this matter yesterday. “The independent manufacturers have concluded agreements with the Joint Board only, and the officers of the International have nothing at all to do with them. Neither had the A. F. of L. committee anything to do} with these agreements.

Impartial Elections. During the first d. of its ex- istence, the council recognized that the present internal strife must be stopped, and that elections under the | supervision of some impartial group would be the only possible way of settling the controversy. Conse- quently the council went to both sides with a plea that elections be held. The president of our International iled to give us proper con- , but treated us with the ut- spect and emphatically re- jected our appeal. Again and again, through written requests and com- |with which to carry on defense for mittees, we requested that the presi- | dent order general elections for the! Joint Bbard; that the members could exercise their elementary right to decide upon who they desire for their leaders.
