were some interesting developments. The
committee on nominations reported the
application OF one man for me mbership.
He was voted in and the reports con-
tinued. The report that aroused the
most interest among those present was
that OF the committee that has been out
working In the interest OF the label. This
committee reported that, In the main.

that there were some OF the firms OF the

stamped with the union label.

that direction will not cease until that
Is accomplished. All the other bust
