lectures on labor problems of today.
Local 1S9 was organized single

hours Of conferences with plant Off

through his tireless and endless eff
forts finally obtained a charter, the

and made short but very interesting
talk.
Brother Campbell has been very
active in labor activities for the past
year He aided in organizing the re-
tail clerks, carpenters and garment
factory which is progressing rapidly.
The garment factory has been a real
problem, but with the aid Of G. b.

tive and Bill's do or die spirit, it has
been a very successful undertaking.
A charter has been granted and with
a few details worked out, the victory
will be won.

ing he can find the necessary time.
