noon with the thermometer flirting
around ninety-odd degrees, made the
attendance at the July meeting of D.
record, only about sixty members be-
ing present. Most of the session was
taken up by a desultory discussion of
whether a foreman who had resigned
was entitled by priority right to a sit
uation as a private. The appeals COM
mittee had an adverse report, which
was finally concurred in. Then the
former foreman gave notice of an ap-
peal to the 1. T. u. executive council

plicant for membership was rejected.
