 UNION CONTRACTORS BUSY
 Anniston, May Especial )-From the standpoint of solid unionism the painters and Daperhangers of Annston are in better condition today than they have been in years, and there is not a non union contractor doing business in this city
 The members of the painters and pa- perhangers' union are working overtime in many cases and the supply of me- chanics is not even near equal to the demand Initiation fee has been reduced recently, and the new members admitted into the local union are showing a won- derful interest in the new rules under which they are working.
 The officers of the local union are W. A. Austin, president; Ed Otey, secretary, and Charles Woodruff, treasurer.
 The local union Friday purchased s25 worth of War Savings Stamps, and this organization will probably continue this nractica as the funds increase
