On Monday, February 19, 1923, at 10 A.M., the National Board for Jurisdictional Awards will hold an important meeting in Washington, D.C.
There has been much argument recently as to whether the Carpenters’ Union or the Metal Trades’ Union has jurisdiction over hanging metal doors and windows and some other fixtures. The N.B.J.A., some months ago, rendered a decision in favor of the metal workers. This decision led to the withdrawal of the Carpenters’ Union from the Building Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor. The entire subject has been a matter of much debate and controversy. Manufacturers have disagreed, contractors have, as well as labor, so it is very important that all concerned should bear in mind the fact and date of this meeting. The N.B.J.A. invites all interested parties to be present, prepared to offer such evidence and testimony or exhibits as may be considered necessary or advisable.
Any S.I.E. member wishing to attend this meeting can obtain full information from L. W. Wallace, Executive Secretary, F.A.B.S., 26 Jackson Place, Washington, D.C.
This is in accordance with the following resolution:
“On motion it is agreed that in compliance with the properly presented request of the Executive Council, American Federation of Labor, and the Associated General Contractors of America, a rehearing on the decision on metal trim be granted in accordance with Section 7 of the Constitution, and the Secretary be instructed to invite all interested parties to be present, prepared to offer such evidence, testimony and exhibits as may be considered necessary or advisable.”
