Another faction headed » President John J. Donavan, of the , moved openly to throw the Team- '8 Union out of the organization. . President Donovan accused the Team- Union of treachery and produced evidence to support his contention. He Presented a communication from Presi- | @ent T. F. McCarthy, of the New York | (ruck Owne: Association charging that the Teamsters’ Union had been signing agreements of any character re- garding wages and hours, and tho em- ployment of union or non-union men with members of his association, and fhe charged further that the teamsters @laimed they were entering into such @greements with the sanction of the United Board of Building Trades, + President Donovan followed this boa- shell with another in the shape of a let- ter secured from Vice-President James ®herlock Dayls, of the Lumver Men's Association. ‘The Lumbermen'n Letter, ‘This letter, which a committee trom | the Teamsters’ Union presented to Davis yesterday and tried to recover after he had refused to dea! with their commit- tee was as follows: “Dear Sir—This is to certify that James Geolan, Thomas Clark, James “McCaffrey, George Prescott und James d.

United Board on the part of the team- Bters, inasmuch as they had been offl- cially informed that the settlement of the existing trouble had been placed tn} the hands of a strike committee ap- pointed by the board for that specific purpose. vA heated debate followed President jovan's arraignment of the Team- aiers’ Union. Donovan's action in the | board represents the skilled workmen Who haye tired of the loss of wages In- red through the board's support of je teamsters, an organization of un-| gkilieg laborers and the first and only ganization of the sort affiliated with United Board, which heretofore has @mbraced only the associations of skilled Mechanics.
