At the regular meeting of the Multnomah Typographical Union, No. 58, held at the rooms of the East Side Business Men’s Club Sunday, the union was presented with a service flag by the Woman’s Auxiliary of the organization. There are 23 stars in the flag. Mrs. May Shur, president of the auxiliary, delivered the presentation address. Other talks were given by W. E. Kimsey, president of the union, and George Howell.
