BARIENDERS' UNION MAY LOSE
 CHARTER AS RESULT OF LOOSE
 METHODS OF DOING BUSINESS

take the charter with him to New York and disband the union. MT. Carroll said if he found it necessary he would return to Bridgeport in about one week from Sunday and would reofganiEe the local here with picked members. He intinated that a number of men who are not now rated as members would not be allow ed membership in the new union and if there was no reorganization some men would lose their membership.
 t'The Bartenders' local here is a joke" said MT. Carroll. Where are no rules or bylaws which regulate the hours a bartender may work or the wages he is to receive. Men work here for all sorts of wages and some union men have been known to take jobs Of other union men at lower rate of wages, if I am correctly in- formed. If T reorgarfze this union we will change all that and we will reg uIate the hours of labor and the wages. Every saloon proprietor who hangs union card in his place will have to agree to these terms or he won't have a union card.
 Mr. Miller, who is president of the local union, could not be located to- day He is employed in Main street in the PoH theatre building The other officers of the union besides Re cording Secretary Lavery are Finan- cial Secretary David C. Carney and Treasurer Patrick Burns.
 That a motion to disband the local will be made at the meeting on Sun day was affirmed by several members of the union who are disgusted with the manner in which the locals af- fairs have been conducted for several years past No blame is attached to President Miller but the actions of certain members who have been in control of affairs for some time are censured by the men who have Brought Mir Carroll here for an fn- yestigation and they threaten that un- less proper action is taken by officials of the union outside of Bridgeport le- gal action will be taken to make cer- tain men in the organization give an accounting of their Stewardship.
