headquarters for newer and more commo-
dious ones and also ones that will be
more centrally located.
Since the union has grown 10 it's present
size the present quarters have become
cramped and for some time the body has
been on the lookout for more suitable
ones.
The ones selected are situated at the
junction OF Eddy and Dyer streets and
will be far better than those noI oc-
cupied.
In the new quarters there will be a
room for the office OF the business agent.
and a general meeting room for the men.
where they can assemble for the comfort
and cost chats during the winter months.
