Practical Building for January has an interesting article under the

title of " The Builders' Neglect," deploring the non- participation of the building trade in the Conference on Industrial Relations. The Operatives, however, if not the Master Builders, will certainly be represented. What was said in our first note on December 31st, about individual trades composing their quarrels without outside help, is reflected in the editorial comment in Practical Building : we hope masters and men will come together before the Conference meets next month.
