The matter of the grievance Of the

It's trouble with work outside the brewery
and that the unions at work within the
brewery in questions had always been
treated fairly with all the questions ad-
justed. They all felt that had the mat

might have been some method OF adjust
ing IL to the satisfaction OF all.

BAKERS SHORT MEETING.
The chief matter OF interest taken up AZ
the meeting OF the bakers on Saturday
evening was the discussion and the plan
ming OF the new agreement. one OF the
opinions voiced at the meeting was the
fact that the bakeries OF the city, q very
large number OF them, were using labels
10 distinguish their bread from other
makes. but when the union asked them
TO make use OF n label do distinguish be
tween bread that was made under union
conditions and that which was not, there
was great objection.
II was stated that the master bakers
made all manner OF objections TO the uso
OF labels al that time claiming that Il
hlndered the sale of their products. many
people not liking the label on their food.
Despite this fact those very places that
were most strongly opposed TO the use
OF the label are now using that to mara
their bread from other makes.
A number Of reports on the conditions
OF the shops were had AT the same time.
