Marshal SEXES
Records Of Old
Labor Council
Group Reorganized by AL
-CIO Starts Picketing
But Work Continues

Responding to the replevin ac-
ton filed in U. S. Commissioner
Court yesterday by the American
Federation of Labor demanding the
records of the Juneau Central Labor
Council, U. S. Marshal William T
Mahoney seized the charter and
records of the old Council last night
and today had them in his custody
awaiting further disposition by the
court.
In the meantime, the Central
Labor Council was reorganized at
a meeting last night of AF'L men
and the following officers elected ::
j. c. Michaelson, President; Chris
Koehler, Vice-President; c. v. Kay.
Recording Secretary; Frank Chin
ella, Financial Secretary and Ser
geant-at-ArmS.
A meeting of CLIO unions also
was held last night and today
pickets, said to represent the CLIO,
were carrying banners on the var
ious construction jobs in the city,
but work was going on as usual.
Commenting on the jurisdictional
labor dispute, the Juneau Building
and Construction Trades Council
today issued the following state
ment:
"The Juneau Dunung and Con-
Trades Council through
its Secretary, c. W. Wright, wishes
to advise the general public of
Juneau that the Baranof Hotel con-
struction job on Franklin Street
and the work being done by j. B.
Warrack on the Juneau Young
Hardware Company building are
100 percent A. F of L. as all labor
and tradesmen employed on these
are affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, and
the work will proceed without inter
ruption as long as they remain So
ne 1IluuSlIldI ldDOI OlllOll NO.
$50 affiliated with the CLIO is today
picketing these and other construc-
ton jobs with yellow banners, in
forming the public that they are
authorized to picket by the Juneau
Central Labor Council. This state
ment is unfounded as the Juneau
Central Labor Council is an AM
erican Federation of Labor charter
ed Council and cannot authorize
picketing by CLIO unions
The Juneau Central Labor Coun-
ell last night was entirely re-or-
gained and no delegate from any
CLIO affiliated union can be grant
ed seat in this Council.

/ Issuing formal invitations and
donning formal attire have become
more of a whim than a custom.
Occasionally, however you may
! receive a formal invitation which
you will want to handle correctly
Here are few pointers:
The invitation will always be
spaced IN about the same manner,
something like this:
Mr.. and Mrs. very Social
request the pleasure of
Miss Flora Debutante's
company at a dance
on Tuesday the fourth of October
at eight O'Clock
"a Newdrive Place
R.s.vp.
The invitation, of course, means
that you are invited to attend a
formal dance at the home of the
Socials and that you are to appear
in formal attire In the stricteSt
sense, formal" means, for men,
white ties and tails. In most part,
Of the country black tie and the
tuxedo are more popular Women
wear evening gowns.
If the dance were to be held at
a hotel or a club, the invitation
would have had the address of the
hotel in place of the home address
Then in the lower left-hand cor
ner might have been engraved:
Kindly send reply to
"a Newdrive Place
You should accept or decline
such an invitation within a few
days, writing in longhand on your
stationery. 1t must follow
the spacing and wording of the in
yitation. You must repeat Ca) the
day and OBJ the hour for which
the invitation is issued. though if
you decline you may omit the
hour.
For example:
Is OldhOme Drive
Miss Flora Debutante
accepts with pleasure
Mr.. and Mrs SOcials'
kind invitation to dance
on Tuesday the fourth of October
at eight o'clock
If the invitation is from two hos
lesses repeat the names of both in
your acceptance. Mail the accept
ance-unless the invitation speci-
Ties otherwise - to the hostess at
whose home the dance is to be
