Conference Committee

Trenton, N. J.--Local Union A. met
on Friday, February 4, with President
Jones presiding. With the exception of
'1HrOther Joe Snyder who is confined in
st. Francis Hospital, all officers were
at their respective posts.
Due to the heavy drag the past year
on the sick fund, an extra % cents was
withheld from our last pay check tu
bolster the fund. This caused quite a
bit of grumblng throughout the shop,
due to the fact that neither the firm or
the committee made known the fact
before hand This increase is only tenn
porary until the fund is built up.
The ware hustlers' dispute over their
pay checks has been taken up with
First Vice President Wheatley and will
be settled shortly.
With new methods of production be-
ing introduced into our trade, such rs
the Merry go round" it behooves
every member to attend his meetings
and discuss the various changes taking
place if he wishes to protect his pay
check. Some brothers have habit of
stopping at the corner emporium, be-
fore coming to the hall. While we do
not wish to tell anyone what they
should or should not do, certainly it is
not asking too much of these brothers
to postpone their visit until after the
meeting.
Brother Edward Kramer and Andy
Jameson have returned to their Jobs
after short lay-off. Take it easy boys,
you are not as young as you used to be.
