Boston Capmakers Pressure on Uniform Caps
The Boston Capmakers Union complains that Boston Street Car Men's Union members buy caps without the capmakers label. Label Agent Julius Friedman will press car men to look for the union label, noting under 5 percent of elevated caps bear it. The capmakers laud their support to strikers and report the ongoing Edinboro street shop dispute. They invite ex-President Michael A. Murphy to speak on fire protection at a joint union meeting next Saturday.
