asm and placed on file.

Of the city as TO their union conditions
and the way the master BARRIERS were liv-
Ing up to the laws made a report and was
continued.

should leave the office and should he re-
turn seek II again.

to the members but IL was finally accept
ed The next news that was sprung upon
