This feature marked the closing of the
most successful outing in the history
of the Jersey publishers that attract
ed close to 125 to the beautiful Bcrk-

an intensive campaign, to be started
at once, for the purpose of enlisting
every printer and publisher of the
State into active membership.
The Association went on record as
opposing the proposed forty-fouS hour
week in the mechanical departments
and the intensive campaign decided
upon, which will be put into opera
ton by a special committee to bye
named by the President, is a move to
the end of working toward helping to
solve the great national need of a
greater production instead of the
lesser output which a curtailed week
would bring about.
