After a lengthy dis- cussion the following officlal statement bearing the signatures of Louls Chester, chairman, and O. A. Tveitmoe, secretary, was issued: In the press of yesterday under the caption, “Refused order to strike,’ is published an article In which Is set forth the following, to wit: “Six strikes took place yesterday (Fri day) because of an order iseu 5 ‘where master. Rothganger acted as toast- by the Build- ing Trades Council to boycott Carpenters Unfon No. 483, and that the blumbers quit. but that the carpenters from different unjons | refused to obey the order, and that because of their refusal much discussion was created in | labor circles last night.” | The executive board of the. Bullding Trades | Council desires to positive tire article, in so as It relates to strikes or boycotts on No, 483 men, is absolutely with. | out foundation in fact. No carpenters refused to obey the orders ofs business agents, and whoever gave the news 10 the writer of the above-mentioned article is saying the thinz that was not. The great majority of the carpenters are as good union men as are to be found in any trade in the | Bullding Trades Council, and when there is order issued by the council it s always lived up to by them. \ Carpenters’ Union No. 483 voted to go back to the Labor Councll, and when it did so the union stood suspended from the Building Trades Council, and that by its own act. 3 ely that the en- uled tour, of 150 of in the building industry is beyond our comprehension, and in cur opinion can be at- tributed only to the fact that they are desirous of keeping up a semblance of a fight for the purpose, if possible, of covering up their past =‘Il'.lkzl. pressions Fiavored and ‘seasoned In wood, rich ana elegant with the best materials used by dls- tillers, it is no wonder that .Jesse Moore is the leading whiskey in the world. .

If any means can be devised to vote Russell a pension for faithful ser- vices it will be done. No man is better or more favorably known in municipal affairs than John A. Russell. He has served the city as clerk of the board for thirty-four years. He was assistant clerk to James Bingham, and on the latter's death succeeded to the position in 1867. Russell administered the affairs .of the board in trying times—un- er the Inauguration of the consolidation act and at the inception of the new con- stitation. a competent man in the settlement of land titles under the act of 1870, when titles were upset and finally regulated by that dct. He has held h's position under the administration of sev- eral parties, and such prominent men as Stanyan, Shrader and McCoppin were Su- pervisors in his time. John A. Beban, acting clerk of the board, made an effort to secure the posi- tion and succeeded in Interesting three Supervisors in his canvass. Fay, how- ever, had eleven Supervisors in his camp, and Behan withdrew on Fay's assurance that he would use his influence to have rétained as assistant clerk.
