New Local Rules Adopted After Membership Vote
The proposed local 28 rules were adopted by a membership referendum and take effect November 15 1949. A nominating period runs November 15 to December 15 1949 with written nominations to secretary Corky Durham. The division schedules a biennial convention in Memphis Tennessee February 19 to 25 1950 to discuss contract changes and negotiations. On December 1 local 28 offices move to Room 127 Hotel Gibson with larger space to host quarterly meetings. Bess Smith is praised for signing up seven new members in two weeks and members are urged to recruit more.
