TUCKER OUTLINES
BENEFITS OF UNION

Leslie H. Tucker explained the bene-
Richmond because of their union, at
the mass meeting in Luken's hall last
night. When he came here twenty
years ago there was supposed to be a
Printers Union. He Immediately sent
in his application for membership. For
six months there was never quorum
to act on his petition, and he had to go
to Indianapolis to join the union
When the union was not active fifteen
years ago, the average wage was $12
a week for ten-hour day. Through
the efforts of the union since that time
the wage scale has been doubled and
the day shortened two hours.
Mr.. Tucker declared that organiza-
tion would do the same for any trade.
