bill adopted recently by the Indiana associa-
ton was adopted by US. This is substantially
the Bliss BILL" which we vigorously supported
and urged two years ago before Congress for
adoption. Measures were adopted by which
the Legislature will be looked after this winter
in Iowa and urged to memorialiZe Congress in
behalf of the pension bill in question. The
former officers and executive committee were
unanimously reelected for the second time.
The meeting throughout was harmonious in its
work, and the comrades more determined than
ever to press this measure to a final comsum-
nation. The following were elected as officers
