concentrations of the report might be sugges
tive, but as to telegraphc news from the East
nothing could be done by this Convention now
or at any other time which would benefit him in
the least The matters embraced in the report
ought to be left for the consideration of full

in favor of it.

tion to the Convention:
Believing the business and purposes for which this Con
vention was called are Of great importance to the entire
press Of the State, and that action upon the should
be unanimous possible, in order to complete
success Of our plan be it, therefore,
ReSolgod, That owing to the limited number present il is
inoxpedcnt to proceed with general business
H0ied That the President appoint Committee Of five
three from delegates present and two from absent
the who known TO be jealous in the
Of the C0nvent0n-whose duty it shall be issue nm ad
dress 10 all editors publishers and master printers Of Cali
forna announcing the objects Of meeting and the i'm
purtace Of organized unanimy Of action the part OF
the craft the protection Of common interests, and
calling Convention to be held at san Francisco during the
coming Spring, at such date the Committee may deem
agreeable for the attendance Of members from the
terror.
ResoIrd That fraternity has the power of scfpro
lection clearly in its hands than ours and that
by defending the dignity of our labor and the pecunay
tcrests Of the udeby concert of action shall doract
nothing from the public good but, on the contrary increase
our capacity for usefulness and materially add to the wei
fare Of the general community.
ReSord That the free intercourse of good feeling and
exchange of opinion during brief interview in Conven-
ton, has more than repaid for attendance and if
tended to thc whole publishing craft by full Convention
at future day, would be productive Of great benefit
motion was then made and carried that when
