Mr. Gilfillan says that it makes no difference to him, which set of men do the work, but there seems to be no way in which carpenter and steel worker organizations can settle which one will do the job.
In the meantime the school work is delayed. Mr. Gilfillan took the matter up with the president of the American Federation of Labor, but he was unable to give any method for straightening out the tangle between the unions. It is hoped that the carpenters and steel workers can speedily get together and adjust the matter, as the delay in erecting the school building, is uncalled for.
