In relation to the time Of service it is
simply impossible to decide The first
statement received from Toledo union
states several months, and the second places
his time ut six months Cleveland union,
tween four and 1--WE months In their city,
and was vouchtd for by two Of their MEM
bers in good standing. Under these cir
cumstances it would seem unjust to insist
upon the penalty of declaring Reilley's
Card null and void, and remanding him
back to service of one or two months.
To prevent any further trouble Of this ma
turs, unions will see the necessity of com
plying with the law and publishing all ap-
plic.nts to the trade. W. H. NoERR,

In the case Of Lewis Harris vs.. Omaha
cordance with International Law and Oma-
hs Local Law Mr. Harris made himself
amenable for the amount charged against
him by Omaha union. The failure of Mr..
Harris to deposit his Card, as prescribed
by international Constitution, compels
Omaha union to exact penalty of S6, and
Mr.. Harris working in an unfair shop,
contrary to Local Law, makes him amen
able to Omaha union in the sum of $40
The charges will be collected and promptly
forwarded to Omaha union No SO.

SIR You ask the following questions !:
First, Has local union the right to ac-
cept Retiring Card issued by another
union and, Second, In case q local union
suspends, how is that card to be treated !
/ refer you to the Retiring Card in an Y
swer to your first question; should he here
after wish to become a member, this Card
will entitle him to be admitted free to the
union only that issued the Card.
Second, / do not think it right to charge
any person who may hold Retiring Card
from a suspended union, admission fee
They could not foresee that such union
would suspend, and they accepted Of the
Card in good faith, knowing that it would
entitle them to membership again when
presented. / would advise the publication
of such parties to the trade, stating cir
cumstances, and no charges being preferred,
admit them, free, TO membership.
