The met ropolis of the state was then nothing more than a village, but the spirit of organization probably emanated from San Francisco, where it had taen root more than 15 years prior to this tloio.

The fl'at union organized in Port land was the bricklayers, in liS3. The next year the Typographical Union was forme I, and In the next three rears the Iron Moulders, Carpenters Plasters, Cigar Maker- and Tin, Sheet Iron and Oomioe Workers The first central labor body was organized In 1887, known as the Federated Trades Assembly, with Martin K'ddy as Its first .president Much interest was awakenel and the trades organlzod in to unions from tino to tirai until 1890 wjben tlio Ca penters mad i a demand for an eight-hour day. This precipi tated a fight betwee i them and their employer', whi' h brokn out Into a general row, involving till of the building trades in a sympathetic strike. This resulted In Internal and external dimensions that proved the the undoing of the Fe !o a ted Trades Assembly, and it went to piect s. No further effort was made to re organize a central b.dy until the year of 1892. The Centr.tl I abor Council was then organized and oontinued in a a season of prosperity until the hard times ol 1893 and 189. Together with the general depression whloh ei Isted all over the country the radicals and demagogues secured oontrol of the counoil and drove all the conservatives and men of ripe ezper'ence in the movement to the background, and again the oouncil stranded upon the rooks. No effort was then made to reorganize nntil 1899, when the Fed. erated Tradea Counoil the proaent nody was established, and still con tinues. The first president and sec retarr of the president council were Ed nard Thayer and Leonaid Becker, John A Hushman, of the MlUtnen's Union, suoceeded Mr Thaver to the presidency; then came Charles Fork of the Musician , Ueorge Ooton, of the Printing Pressmen: liorry Gurr, of the Bricklayers, Charles Mickley, ol the Tailors; Charles Gram, ol the Teamsters, and George E Heaver, of the Clerks, the present incumbent. Three years ago the Federated Irades Council was a power in the community and was one ol the best organizations in the oountry. While it is still doing good work, it hasn't the strength of a few years ago. This Is due to several reasons. The building trades Urikes of 1902 and 1903 oaused consid I era ble dissatisfactio among the con servative and older unions, who to,k the position that the Btrikers were ill advised, and they were left by thote In charge to drift without anv system of campaign. Then a certain amount of arbitrariness was used by the leaders who were nnwilllng to meet their em ployers half way until It was . to lute' ; and ths strikes were lot The Build ingT'sdes Council, which haaoomplote .control of the building Industry of the city, then dissolved, since wbioh lime J the Federated Trades Uoancil was compelled to take the responsibilities of the former organization and was .credited with the mistakes of the same London, September 6.
