Union Industries Show
Is Biggest fn’ Best Yet
A bigger and better AFL Union Industries Show bowed
into Boston’s Mechanics Hall last week. AFL President
William Green, flanked by federal, state, and city officials
and members of the AFL Executive Council participated
in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officiailly open the show.
inousanas oi persons from
all sections of New England
crowded into the show, dur
ing the first few days to see
the $20 million exhibiit of
consumer goods featuring
everything from tacks to
trailers, a brick-laying con
test, selection of a beauty
queen and a sheep shearing
contest.
Gifts worth thousands of
dollars will be distributed
during the 8-day run of the
show. Entertainment pro
grams featured movie and
TV stars.
Labor men in New Eng
land distributed 1 1-2 million
free tickets to the show,
which was the only means of
admission.
Highlights of the exhibit
included the Carousel of the
Bakery and Confectioinery
Workers Union where cakes
were decorated and distrib
uted as gifts to the visitors;
the demonstration of pottery
making by the National
Brotherhood of Operative

Journeymen Plumbing and
Pipefitting Industry of the
U. S. and Canada displayed
the latest in home and indus
try fittings.
Hotel and Club Service,
i Local No. 277 of the Bar
tenders Union had them
selves a problem, what with
all—the thirsty New Eng
landers parading before their
exhibit. The boys were right
in there mixing drink after
dring but the Alcoholic Bev
erage Control Commisision
says no drinks can be given
away — so-o-o-o-o the drinks
went down the drain.
Meat Given Away
The Bricklayers, Masons,
and Plasterers International
Union of America’s exhibit
included the latest in brick
walling, fireplaces, and tile
shower stalls.
Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butcher Workmen
of North America demonstra

large crowds of spectators to
watch their technique with
the knife in preparing choice
steaks, cuts of beef and other
meats for the consumer table.
The meat was given away to
lucky ticket holders.
