PLUMBERS LOSE VICE PRESIDENT.
One OF the largest meetings OF the
| month and of the evening was that OF
evening. the occasion being the regular
] fine session OF the local, when every
member is expected 10 be on hand or be
| fined.
There were but very few OF them not
| on hand last evening for the payment
| OF fire such as s assessed on absent
members Is something TO be Stunned.
The first part OF the meeting was de-
voted 10 the regular routine business
| commencing with the report OF the mem
I bership committee. The chairman OF
this stated that there was one appli-
cation TO be considered at the next meet
ing OF the local and two names were pre-
sented for admission to the roster These
men were initiated and made regular
members.
The next matter TO come before the
body was the report OF the committee
on the apprentices. The proceedings OF
the last meeting OF the BOYS was had
in full and the decision to hold fine meet
ing mentioned. This met with the hearty
approval Of the jourueymeD and n was
voted to commend the action of the boys.
when told OF the educational part Of
the plans OF the apprentices for this win
ter this action was also praised and II
was voted that committee attend the
next session in the interest OF the cduca-
IL. L.. L..
same plan will be pursued among the
journeymen this season and IL is thought
that there will be interest OF the greatest
sort shown in the work
The next matter was the resignation OF
Mr.. C.. M Dunn. the vice president. Mr..
Dunn has been unable TO attend the dellb-
srations OF the body as regularly as he
had hoped and thought that for the best
good OF the body II would he better for
him TO resign. No one was elected tc~all
the vacancy and the office will be left
open TIL next meeting.
Under the head OF reports the shop COM
mittee stated that there were two men
found to be working on Saturday after
moons contrary 20 the rule OF the local.
These men were fined the maximum
amount so that the offence would not be
repeated again.
This was not done so much because the
union refuses to allow the men In case OF
emergency to finish the work begun. for
Il is realized that there might be circum-
stances under which there might be re-
duired work on Saturday afternoons. The
union allows Its members wherever no.
tlce n given 90 work overtime, but when
the members make no mention OF the fact
Il is then that the body imposes the nne.
The last business OF the meeting was
the hearing OF the report OF the executive
board There was n long discussion over
this and some OF the points have not even
vet been fully settled.
The meeting closed at n late hour.
