manding especial care. they could not OPP
crate at a more rapid rate without en-
barrassment to themselves and sacrifice to
their products. It was claimed that Tan
ner was relieved from his employment

list so that he would suffer no financial
loss. They nelQ meetlhg, Wnen the mat

the case would receive the fullest investi-
CATION to insure fair decision. The union
then deferred action until the announce
ment of the decision. 1t Is expected that
the bookbinders will meet in a short time
and consider the matter.
The Tanner case was not the origin of
the trouble between the bOOkbinderS and
Acting Foreman Ashton. 1t is said. but it
gave point to the difficulty, embodying. it
