One of the fixers, how- ever, found that $6 that had been taken from their pay sometime previous had not been restored ac- cording to the agreement. Taking the matter up with the owner he received no satisfaction. This fixer carries a card in the Associated Silk Workers Union. He naturally left the place to take the matter up with the union officials, The other two fixers who carry cards in the U. T.
