short meeting Of the Bakers union at

the most OF the meeting and the re-
mainder Of the time was devoted TO dis
cussion OF general problems OF interest
to the local and the business for the com
ing year.
One OF the questions that has been
time I'm the agreement that will have to
be signed with the masters before very
long Last year the agreement was not
signed until there was some sort OF a dis
agreement between the two bodies and n
strike. The great thing to he done this
year and which is agitating the minds OF
the men at this time is how to accomplish
the purpose this year without the least
friction with the bosses.
It is not known just yet how this can
be done but the men all hope that there
will be no time lost this season as there
was last.
