THE OPERATORS REPORT.
The Brotherhood of Telegrap pliers met in
the Druids' hall at , p. n. Sixty members
were present. Four new members were in
itigted. This makes total of twenty since
the strike. Several delegates from Mime
apolis were present, also visiting delegates
from other professions. The meeting was
very enthusiastic. The reports from differ
ent committees were of q most gratifying
nature. We still remain firm and hopeful.
As time rolls on we grow in strength and
frmer in sentiment. Not single member
