The Electrical Workers’ Local No.
639 of Port Arthur held a regular
meeting Monday night, followed by
the quarterly smoker. President Pier-
sol was master of ceremonies and as-
sisted by the other officers, made the
evening a pleasant one for the boys.
Three new members were initiated,
Brothers White, Swans \ and
Young. They took the medicine very
gracefully, though at times they were
somewhat uneasy or afraid. The fun
was enjoyed by the members, as it has
been some time since they had this op-
portunity.
After the regular routine business
was dispensed with refreshments were
served with sandwiches.
The particular feature of the even-
ing was the championship game of
dominoes. The contest was between
the Texas Telephone Company’s em-
ployes and the Texas Company’s em-
