Carpenters Form Independent Body in Washington
About 2,000 carpenters in Washington plan to form the Structural Building Alliance after breaking with the Central Labor Union and the Allied Building Trades council. The move, endorsed by No. 884 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, could redraw city labor alignments as bricklayers consider joining the new line. The group aims for a 2,000 member central guild for both Brotherhood and Amalgamated Carpenters, while unions weigh joining options and the impact on local building operations.

Tower Operator Held After Coroner Inquest Involving Fatal Collision
After an inquest at the new morgue, telegraph operator Charles W. Nichols refused to testify further, advised by attorney Andrew A. Lipacomb, in the collision that killed brakeman C. Y.
