The Office Employees Local No. 106'S Stroller has called our att tention to the fact that the next regular meeting of the clerks will be on Saturday, August 4th, at 2:30 D. m., in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, Corner of Bank and Pearl Street, New London, Conn. At their last special meeting held on Saturday, July g., Joe Fitzpat- rick was elected to fill out the un- expired term of Pres. Mike Me- Garry, who was forced to resign because of ill health. At this same meeting President Joe and Tom Whipp were elected as delegates to the Central Labor Union.
 It has been a standing mystery to the boys just why Ted Ravens doesn't do so well these nice days as golf player. After watching his game closely we understand. We find Ted's caddie, Joe Sobol- owSki, talks so much he gets Ted nervous on the green.
 At the July 28 disSolvement meeting held Saturday evening at the Union Hall, Poquonnock Road, of the SMEU, the following men were appointed trustees by the membership, Al Farina, liar old Taylor, and Vincent Curran. These men are delegated to settle up the affairs of the SMEU, affil- lated with the A. F. of L., and to give an accounting six months from now to the general member ship through both a notice in the paper and a report to the Execu- tive Committee of the SMEU, all dissolvement matters having been put into the hands of the executive committee by the general body. These men, we all feel, will be em- inently capable of carrying out their new duties. Al, we know, is the on his toes President of the Metal Trades as well, and Winnie is the popular and Well-liked Pres ident of the Boilermakers, while Hal Taylor is the salt of the earth and a steady exacting worker. (Ask the boys in the Outside Machinist'S gang).
 We wish to take this moment to wish Emile Mann Jr., we'll. Emile Mann, as member of the SMEU executive committee and after as President of the Boilermakers Lo- cal GA and President of the Metal Trades worked quietly but persis- tently for the good of the workers in this Yard His reasons for re- tiring are his own, but we can only regret the loss of a sincere and intelligent Union man. We hope that you catch up a little on your rest now, Emile.
