HISTORY

Levey, were elected, and Mr. Fred. Mann's place who retired to take over the secretaryship of the Fremantle Trades Hall, was won by Mr. H. P Jensen. The new organiser, who will be in charge of the Fremantle district, has been a delegate from his union on the Fremantle District Council of the A.L.P. for the past 2 ½ years. He has been a member of the Board of Control of the union for three years, and a member of the union for nearly nine years. Mr. Jensen is 24 years of age, and was born at Leederville. Harry has been a very active member of his union, and is very popular with the rank and file. He has made a splendid impression on delegates of the A.L.P. Council, and with youth, enthusiasm and ability to back him will be a welcome adjunct to the Labor movement at the port. (reference)
