ennial national convention of tho

out the United States and Canada.
A great number of matters of im
portance to members of the order are
scheduled for discussion and action nt
tho present convention and it is prob
able tho sessions will continue for
two weeks or longer. An important
question to be decided Is whether the

principles and affiliate In the future
with largo central bodies, such as the
American Federation of Labor and
central trades councils. The organiz
ation's future attitude toward the Or
der of Railway Trainmen will also
como up for discussion. In tho past
tho two organizations have been hos
tile. Another matter of importance
to receive attention is tho proposition
looking to a reduction in the rate of
