ficient reading clerk, A. NJ Warner. This
matter was referred to No. i9's members
OF the joint standing committee, Presi-
dent Pulyer and Secretary BIrdsail, Tor

fishers. In view of the fact that the
union has an existing contract with the
publishers, made under the old laws, the
amendments recently made by a refer
endum vote must be mutually agreed to
before they become operative lnasmueh
