The granite shed of T. J. Kelliher
has been unionized by the seven men
employed there joining the union,
after having been out of its jurisdic-

first learned of the fact today. He
had never had any objection to the
men joining the union is men had
always enjoyed the same privileges
as union men in the matter of hours
and scale of wages and he had left it
with them as to whether they would
join the union or not. This shed was
the only one in the city which was
not under the jurisdiction of the
union.
