1t is the hottest season of the year

number Of the members don't stay
away because they don't want to come,
it is just a habit. So why not acquire
the habit of attending regularly and
do your bit for labor'S cause.
You know brothers, organized labor
is being pounded pretty severely from
many different sources and it behooves
us to keep our ranks just as solid as
we know how. Therefore the greater
interest we take in these problems, the
more solid our ranks will be in time
of need.
Our meetings are always very short
so you won't have to suffer from the
heat but very little. The younger mem
berS should come out and help along
with the benefits they are enjoying
which have been fought for, and won
by the older members of the trade
