                         HON. JERRY F. COSTELLO

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 1994

  Mr. COSTELLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the United 
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Local Union No. 433. 
This year, Local No. 433 will celebrate their 105th anniversary.
  In 1889, 8 years after the founding of the United Brotherhood of 
Carpenters and Joiners of America, a group of carpenters in Belleville, 
IL, met and formed Local Union No. 433 with 12 members and $.95 cash on 
hand. From that humble beginning Local Union No. 433 now boasts 465 
members.
  Mr. Speaker, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of 
America, Local Union No. 433 is affiliated with the Illinois State 
Council of Carpenters, the Southern Illinois District Council of 
Carpenters, the Southern Illinois Builders Association and the Illinois 
State AFL-CIO. Their officials and members serve as delegates to the 
Southwestern Illinois Central Labor Council, The Building Trades, the 
Committee on Political Education, the Union Label League and the Labor 
Day Committee.
  I ask my colleagues to join me as I salute the United Brotherhood of 
Carpenters and Joiners' goal to better the conditions of the worker and 
thereby make the community and our Nation a better place to live.
