Unionists Call Out Local Church for Using Non-Union Labor

The local Presbyterian church organization recently let the building of their new church to Sampson, an unfair contractor. The delegate from the Department of Church and Labor of the Presbyterian church to the Denver convention of the A.F. of L. last year promised cooperation of the church in the patronizing of union labor and union-made goods. Consequently, the following resolution was adopted by the Everett unionists and wired to E.P. Marsh, who is attending the convention of the American Federation of Labor in Toronto: Whereas, the Presbyterian church organization of Everett, Washington, contrary to the agreements, pledges and promises of the Fraternal Presbyterian Church delegates, did recently let the contract for building their church to an unfair contractor and employer of non-union labor, over the protests of the affiliated trades organizations of Everett; and whereas, the said church organization refused to require said contractor to employ competent mechanics and union laborers of Everett... Resolved, that the A.F. of L. be requested to take such action as in their judgment may seem just and proper.
