dry met Monday night to listen to
financial report by Treasurer Ken
drick. The report was approved by
the stockholders and then followed
discussion of ways and means to in
crease the capacity of the laundry
In addition to the financial state
ment by the treasurer. other reports
were made, showing that the first
TWO weeks business had totaled $72o.
and that considerable business that
mad been offered had been refused
because Of the fact that the working
torce of the laundry had not been
thoroughly organized and running
smoothly. The stockholders adopted
motion recommending to the trus-
tees that two additional washing ma
cnines be installed, experience having
SHOWN that it will require these addi-
uonal machines to balance up the
washing department with the finish
rug end of the plant. J. A. Berger

signed.

LAUNDRY REPLEVINED.

The Star Laundry found itself In
court during the week as defendant
in a replevin suit. The laundry, &C
cordng to the complainant, gathered
in from the porch of his residence
bundle of laundry, plainly marked
Mutual Laundry" The laundry de-
clined to comply with a demand that
the package be returned to the place
from which it had been taken. a
suit was then begun, the goods re-
plevined, and a suit for damages will
be prosecuted. Reports are to the
effect that the non-union laundries
have followed out pretty consistently
the practice of grabbing laundry
bundles intended for the union laun-
dry, and the union people of the city
have made up their minds to put a
stop to this practice.
