RETAIL CLERKS

Retail Clerks Union No. 119 held
one of the old-fashioned kind of meet
ings Monday night in the labor tenn
pie. The attendance was larger than
for many moons. And the reason for
this is that matters are coming before
the clerks that are of gravest i'm
portance to them. These are really
critical times for the organization, and
it behooves every member to be right
on the job and not regret and bemoan
in the future. No use going into de-
tails in this article as every clerk,
even those who do not attend meet
ings, know to what is being referred.
At the next regular meeting, which
will be held November 27, will be
nomination of officers for the ensu
ing term. 1t is up to every member
to attend this meeting.
