Dundee Workers For USA
For some time past a difficulty has been experienced in various parts of the city in securing the services of skilled and reliable spinners, and the departure for America of a large contingent of local operatives will probably tend aggravate this phase of the labour problem in Dundee.Large extensions of machinery are being carried out in the States, necessitating the engagement of additional workers. In various parts of Dundee operatives are employed, and these, more than satisfied with their lot, are now sending home for relatives and friends, a proceeding which in the case of jute workers, has the sanction of the US government. At the moment operatives, principally spinners are giving notice in most of the mills in the city and it is computed that about one hundred are on their way or about to depart for the American side of the Atlantic.

Stamp of Crete
Stamp Collectors were afforded a treat by Mr Tom Leighton in his paper on " The Stamps of Crete" read to the Dundee and District Philatelic Society. The lecture was both informative and interesting. Mr Leighton is one of the few who can boast of possessing a practically complete set of the issues from that country and the exhibition of his stamps was not the least interesting feature of an evening's entertainment, which was thoroughly appreciated.
