No. 81 has been taking on new life
of late and a quiet campaign for bet
ter conditions is being carried on.
The union is in better shape in every
way than for a long time and is in
creasing it's membership and securing
working agreements. The members
of the union in the downtown shops
enjoy the o'clock closing rule, and
in the outlying districts most of the
shops close at s. Considerable work
has been done in the way Of organiza-
ton, and it is the intention to de-
vote greater energy to this branch
than heretofore. All-night shops are
not looked upon with favor by the
mem bers Of the union.
Frank M. Allay president of Local
No. 81, was a charter member Of the
present organization, which came into
existence about eight years ago. He
was an active participant in the pre-.
liminary organization work and has
been an active member ever since thai

fund in the treasury from which g
