BUSINESS AGENT SPEAKS

Business Agent Thomas F. Kearney ad-
dressed the men in a short speech before
the meeting broke up, and said that the
union had reason to feel happy and
rejoice and have confidence in attaining
victory" because of the large number or
signatures to the agreement secured indi-
yidually from the members OF the Master
Carpenters association.
He said that the union had used every
honest to meet the Maser Carpenters on
a fair bass but lney had refused to ar
bitrate.

speaker. but the names already secured

only. There are no conditions which may
not be amicably adjusted.
Our deputy will arrive in town some
time today and win open up negotiations
which will break the present deadlock
and the Master Carpenters will see
things In better light.
Victory is yours, there never was a
strike I'm the history of this city In which
