meetings of the committee was
adopted.
1t is understood that S. L. Chaplin,
who has heretofore represented the
BARRIERS, will be compelled to with
draw from the committee on account
of becoming an employer. which ne
cessitates his taking withdrawal
card from his local. The committee
is in hopes that the BARRIERS will find
some way of permitting Mr. Chaplin
to legally represent the union on the
committee. He has taken a deep in
terest in the project and shown by
his actions that he can be depended
upon for a full share of the work.
The committee will meet again next
Monday night at the home of A. "

quested to meet promptly at o'clock.
Unions not yet represented, and
especially those whose delegates have
been remiss are requested to take
the proper action. This is the crucial
point in the project, and it is impera-
tive that every union do it's full share
to start the thing along
