Tho brotherhood will be rec ognised as an Independent organiza tlon and tho members will work to- , gpther amicably for tho common good ( of all. Whtt. the movement for thei shorter hours was first put on foot,, It was thought advisable by the build lng trades to form one organization i In which would be represented every, building ttadr In the city, to that tha light for shorter hours could bo carried! 1 on more systematically. It was thj ' plan that whero an employer of onu 1 trade refused the demands of tho men. all the other tradts working on the same operation should strike lr sympathy.
