We have just organi:t.ed a local here, Mr.
F. J. McNulty being the organizer. We
opened the charter with eleven members,'
and more coming in. We were even disturbed
during the meeting, they wanted to
join so quick.
Yours fraternally,

Editor Electrical Worker:
While we are not gathering once a week
as we should do in order. to keep interest at
par, I wili try and present a few lines to the
ooys, that you may know we are still doing
business in the good old prison .city. The
first event of interest was our semi-annual
private smoker, July 2, which. was well attended,
and thatiks to the "various brothers,
talent was amply and ably furnished. We
intended holding a smoker and entertainment
for the public in the near future. As
for work here I can say that while the out·
look is not absolutely bright, there is a living
chance here fora few good telephone
men, there having been disruptions' twixt
the company and the men regarding straight
time and wet weather. The company could
not see it in the way that the boys wanted
and suggested, so/Brothers Thomas, Reough
and McFee left for parts unknown; but we
expect to hear from them again in a few
days. The fight these boys put up before
leaving assures a straight time job for anybody
who m'ly come here in the near future.
The gang of a few weeks ago has now almost
vanished, Brothers McMillen, Hill, Turboss,
Turk, Cadden, Argumental, Ballard, and
your humble servant being left at home.
Brother Thos. Callahan has acc :pted a
foremanship job in the country for the Bell,
. /1i/~ I~O"3
titEEtEct'&iCAL W6RKaR ~3
and has won popular favor for a new light.·
. Two new ampere. consumers were added to
the circuit last month. These with other
faces should illuminate the hall very nicely
regular revival nights. For items of further
interest wait for next issue. In the~eantime
we must give someone else a chance;
so wishing all brothers continued success,
I must close for this issue.
Fraternally yours,
H. RICHTER,

Editor Electrical Worker:
We installed our newly elected officers at
our first meeting night this month. . We
also installed a business agent a week later ,
and with his advent in the field and our past
phenomenal success in enrolling members,
we look forward to having OJ~e of the strongest
locals in the Brotherhood in a very s'port
time.
At our last meeting we appointed a committee
on practical electrical research, and
expect that we will derive great ~enefits from
their illustrations and reports. 'If time and
