ginning OF the summer season when open

ment so far as open front shirts were
concerned. Some of the mem mbers charged
olv ten cents for them.

sticking TO their agreement suspected
this and TO find out sent uecoy shirts 10

ers were reported TO the officers OF the
association.
President Butman was interviewed to-
day but he said that there was no
trouble and that although two or three
members OF the assooi alton had with
drawn there had been no violation OF
agreement.
Mr.. j. Hennessey was asked IL he was
secretary OF sthe association land replied
that he was secretary OF what there was
left of Ii.
He verified the rumor that the prices
had been lowered and that the offence
was known. lie has said that President
Butman knew of it.

drawn are tho, What Cheer Laundry, on
