Politicians Dangerous Element. The conditions in the Building Trades Coun- il to-day are exactly the same as they were in Chicago before the great building trades strike, which resulted so disastrously for both The offices of the Building Trades Council and also of the District Council of Carpenters were filled by municipal officeholders and politicians, who | held their positions through Ed Carroll, who, was a_Civil Service Commis- ilke McCarthy, ident of the Building Trades sioner and pri | Council. The abuse of power by these officeholders led up to the destruction of the Building Trades Council of Chicago. The same abuse of power is being manifested in the Building Trades Council of San Franclsco to-day. ‘We will cite the instance of the West Coast Furniture Company, where it was necessary before a settlemeni could be made to have McCarthy entirely eliminated from the ar- rangements owing_to his brutal insults to the members of that firm. The Chicago trouble could have been settled very early in the fight but for the politicians, and when it was finally settled it was neces sary to insert a clause in the constitution of the Building Trades Council and the District Council of Carpenters eliminating politicians and officeholders as delegates to the councils.

The court- matrial will be composed of army officers and officers of the marine corps. charges specify that Major Waller and Lieutenant Day killed three native steve- dores cn the streets of Basay, island of Samar, without trial. The stevedores were ameng those who accompanied the disastrous expedition of Major Waller and a detachment of the marines to the interior of Samar last Decem®er. It is claimed that these stevedores mutinied and proceeded to the foothills, where they dug camoles (a varlety of sweet potato), and that they later con- cealed and refused to turn them over to the Americans, saying that when the marines died of hunger they should have a good supply of arms ahd ammunition. Sympathy 1s expressed for Major Wal- ler, who at that time was suffering from mental and physical strain. Lieutenant Day apparently obeyed Major Waller's orders.
