GENERAL TIE-UP OF
BUILDING TRADES
IT WILL BEGIN IN THIS CITY
THIS MORNING.
Builders' Exchange Has Made No
Overtures Whatever to the Build
ing Trades' Council Resolutions
Adopted by tho Latter Body nt Its
Meeting Saturday Night State
ment Concerning the Strike Pro
pared by Secretary Laudlg, of tho
Builders' Exchange Carpenters
Take Exceptions to It.
The general tie-up In tho Hulldlns
Trades will ro Into effect this mornlnn,
as tho Builders' i:change has made
no overtures whatever to the Hulldlns
Trades' Council.
The tie-up, the strikers claim, will ho
absolutely tight and every workman
associated In any way whatever with
the nulldliiR Trades will be Idle this
morning,
Tho trades affected are as follows:
Cariwiilors, tinners, plasterers, lathers,
bricklayers, painters, plumbers stone
masons, stonecutters, steam-litters and
woodworkers.
liven the carpenters who have been
working1 for contractors who have ac
ceded tho demands will be called off,
as these contractors have, In the ma
jority of cases, been buying- their lum
ber from members of the Exchange.
In short, the situation Is this: No con
tiactor in any way connected with the
exchange can, fiom today on, procure
any union labor until such 'time as tho
tie-up Is declared off.
The members of the exchange appear
to treat the whole affair with dispas
sionate calmness, but tho stilkers
maintain that their late employers will
come to terms In a few days At any
rate, the situation Is becoming- mote
serious.

BUSINESS BODY.
A business Body-Tho Builders' ex
cahngo Is a purely business oigitilzallon
and transacts business on a business
basis. I was elected secretary of tlw ex
ehnnge on October 14, 1697, and have not
been absent from any regular, special,
directors, branch nor any committee
meetings and can assure you there hin
been no business ot nny kind pieseiunl
to tnts association wnicn n.is not receued
proper attention,
The Carpenters' unions' proposition has
been thoroughly discussed and has been
properly acted upon and found to to un
Injustice to the publlo ut largo, the car
pentcis and to the contractors them-
elves, and further tho unions were In
formed to this effect In a perfect busi
ness manner, yet they Insist that they
have not been recognizee nor met In any
way nnd so Inform the public through
the press.
The nbovo Is a correct stntement of
the business like attention tho journey
men carpenters received from the Build,
ors' exchange. Vciy truly,
B. V. Laudlg, Secretary.
In reply to tho above statement the
executive commltteo of tho Carpenters'
union yesterday handed the following;
letter to representatives of the pi ess
for publication:

papers In a statement which he claims
to bo a history of the present fight he
.tween tho Carpentcis- unions and tho
Bulldcis' excharge While tin Inform i
tion given by him Is true, the letter
seems to be Intended to mislead tho pub-
lie Into the belief thnt the union 1ml
been alblrtary In Its dealings with tho
exchange We fe el bound to .deft nil tho
position taken by the union In the mai
ler The truth of I lie matter is that wo
acted In stilct accordance with the re
quest of severnl uromlnent members of
the exchange, that at any time wo In
tended to make a demand on the bullJ
ers to give them a fair notice and In
miking tho present demand we acted
strictly on the above) llaes
On February 9 we notified the ex
change and the individual builders, that
our lutes would go Into efiect Juno 1.
At the icciuest of tho piesident of tho
Master Carpentcis' association we asked
that a conference should be ananged be
tween our committee and n committee
from tho exchange The conference was
arranged for March 2S at which tlmo wo
met them, but found thnt according to
their own stntement thev had no author
ity to talk and would like to know what
wo hnd to offer, s() the so-culled confer
ence, resulted In nothing. Then, accord
ing to Mr. Iiuilitr's statement they re
ported hick to thur association that wo
hid refused to m iki any concession and
were determined to have all that they
had asked for The truth of the matt r
Is that no such statement was made by
unv member of our committee durlntr 'ho
so-called conference
In conclusion I will sav that we do not
wish to enter Into a lengthy newspaper
discussion of this m itter but we do feol
bound to defend ourselves against a mis

and was pi oven such by Mr. Truesdale's
roturn to New" York at 3.30 In the aftei
noon. The meeting of the employes an
nounced In The Tribune, Wednesday,
will occur here today. It will bo mailo
up of representatives of all the bt other-
hoods on all the divisions throughout
tho whole Lackawanna system
There are live divisions of the rood.
Moirls and Essex-, main, Buffalo, Utlca
nnd Syi.icuse, and each of them has at
least one branch of the six different
railroad societies, the Brothel hood of
Railroad Engineers, tho Rratheihood of
Locomotive Firemen, the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, the Order of
Railway Conductors, the Order of Rail
way Telegraphers and tho Switchmen's
Biotheihood.
Today's meeting is for the purpose of
amalgamating these different brother
hoods lrrto what Is known as a "sys
tem federation." Such nn organization
exists on every other big load and sev
eial attempts were made to efiect one
on the Lnckawanna. but through the
refusal of the engineers to Join In the
movement It was unsuccessful.
Influences which. It Is said, kept the
engineers out of the federation, are no
longer potential, and this, coupled with
the fact 'that It Is the engineers'
brotherhood which will likely bo the
first called upon to present the griev
ances of Its membeis, will lesult In
their coming Into the fedora'tlon.
The matter of grievances will not be
discussed, except In a general way at
today's meeting. If the federation Is
formed, a Reneral "mediation" commit
tee vv 111 be selected 'to receive and act
upon any grievances that may be trans
mitted from the grlevanco committee
of the several biotherhoods
