are showing by their action that they
mean to make the Majority a daily
newspaper. This is shown by the
way they are buying stock in the Ma

ave already been heard from with
substantial sales, while three will
take final action at their next meeting
on how much stock to buy. This GER

Blaire was visited and, this body
bought $4,000 stock for the present.
These men presided over by Brother
Joe Hora, are full of solidarity, and
= the proper spirit of unionisin, and no
doubt would have taken more stock
if in better financial condition. That
they are Union men Of quality was
i shown, when upon the appeal of
Brother Toni Amicone, they donated
$4,000 to make Christmas merrier for
children of the striking miners on

is an able interpreter for No. 1862,
and owing to his efforts the foreign
speaking members of this local are
always thoroughly in touch with all

members and officers of the locals
mentioned, for the courtesies extend
ed to their representative and their
liberal response in every instance.
