At the regular election held on Wednesday, June 25, 1924, the polls were open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Brother George Capelle was elected the second Business Agent to work with John Regan. All the other officers were reelected. George Capelle had been elected Press Secretary and Executive Board member for a number of years now and his articles for the Journal in 1924 give a great deal of information to 103 historians as to the happenings up to the Local's 25th Anniversary in 1925.

A bachelor, Capelle devoted full time to Local 103, he was on the Examining Board, Executive Board, Organizing Committee, Apprenticeship Committee, and ran most of the smokers and reunions. We shall see him as an Agent and then Business Manager in the 1930's. He saw bad times in 1921 and good times under Roosevelt in the 1930s, but he was constantly organizing. He worked with John Regan on the acquisition of 717 from the Boston Elevated Railway. He and Regan went headlong into the ten year was with New England Telephone to get the installation of conduits and wiring for private property connections to the monopoly phone company services.

He revolutionized the high rise building with the first use of steel helmets to protect heads from the ironworkers above. He argued and won from the Edison Illuminating Company, who were doing all their home wiring non-union shops, a challenge to them to match union men against Potter Electric Company, who employed up to 400 men at times wiring homes with Edison equipment and fixtures. Subsequently, Potter Electric signed a union contract.

He devoted his entire life to see all electrical work done with union men, and Boston totally organized. He died on the job in 1940, as true and loyal an officer and member of Local 103 that we have ever been blessed with. He had two nephews who were members of Local 103. George E. Capelle was foreman of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Company and Guy Capelle worked many years for Massachusetts Electric Company.
