Union Officers
Re ead.

Al ID ehSdpSl lcI the uCuUGIS OF
some local unions to pay the month
ly fine for tendance than TO
attend the meetings and contribute
to the weekly hat collections taken
for some reason or other Cut out
all the hat collie tious and the at
tendance at your meetings will in
crease. You will also notice sub.
stantial increase at your meetings
if you will start your meeting
promptly or time and conduct the
business in business like manner,
cutting out all rag chewing foreign
to the question before YOU. Get
ting home from meeting al one
or two IL tie morning is not a. asl
desirable TO married men.
II our single brothers would but
realize how unpleasant ii is to be
caught red handed trying to sneak
info ct beddy after a late meeting
without waking uo our better
halves to re accused Of Icing cut
ON pl asure orgy and Of other
things that would net look well in
print, despite our explanation,
which IS not considered or even
listened to- in fac,, we are not al
lowed to get word in edgeways
and are placed on the Unfair List
Immediately, there to remain al
least until the following pay day
they would have a lit le sym
patuy for rs aud insist on meetings
starting on time ard Il ishiug early.
OF course, there are 30 chains on
US; we can leave whenever we de-
size, but if we leave before adjourn
ment we are accused Of ducking
some important question that may
come up after we do leave
The complaint Of poorly attended
meetings that we hear of so gen
orally would not prevail if we would
eliminate the cause therefor. Good
attendance at meetings is necessary
for the success Of our local unions
and We should do everything pos
sible to make the meeting attrac
tive. The president, by the appli-
cation of fair parliamentary proce-
dure, can cut the time Of the aver
age meeting ore-half and be should
not hesitate to cut out the irrele-
want matters that are usually In
jected into question during de bate
which consumes mere time in the
average meeting than anything
else.
He should open the meetings
promptly al the appointed time, no
matter who else may be absent,
and fill the vacancies by temporary
appointments and 60 on with busi-
ness. This procedure will have the
necessary effect on the other off
GERS, who will either be on time or
resign their Offices, and some other
member will be selected to fill their
position who will attend to the
duties thereof and be on hand in
time to open the meeting at the set
time.
Good attended meetings mean
good local unions, so make il pos
sible for good attendance By max
ing the meetings attractive and
adopt system that will enable
your local to finish its business at
not laIer than ten-thirty, so we
married men can get home before
the forbidden hour midnight
