Thia branch also desires to convey to their council its entire confidence in tho officers of-their union, and to thank them heartily for their best efforts in securing improved wages for the oleaners, firemen, and drivers." It was explained by the officers that tho statements mado regarding tho increases to firemen, and tho action of themselves beforo tho Minister in regard to tho same, were absolutely without foundation, and tho officers challenged tho president and secretary of the A.S.R.S. to prove their' statements.
