Brewery Workers

The Brewery Workers haven't time to
talk about anything but their picnic.
All the members are working steady
at present for the first time in almost
a year The secretary says he has less
complaints from the members of bad
treatment on the part of employers than
nc has had for some time. He states the
reason for this is that the members
minds are so much occupied in making
preparations for the picnic that they
haven't time to notice anything wrong
in the shops.
Secretary Koch states that he is glad
that it is only two weeks until the
time for the picnic; if the time was any
longer he has his doubts as to what
would happen to some of the members.
Some of their wives have complained to
the secretary that their husbands were
getting crazy over the picnic. some would
talk in their sleep and holler hurrah for
the Brewery Workers picnic, Others
state that their husbands wouldn't talk
about anything else.
Some of the neighbors of Brother Kay
