The association next listened to
PRESIDENT KLINE's ADDRESS,
which dwelt mainly upon the events of the
also reviewed briefly such matters as should
command especial attention. The past year.
he said, had been one of more than average
prosperity with the exception of the period
during which misrepresentation of labor
had caused serious disturbances in some
localities. The day of large margins is
over, and in the future all classes should
adapt themselves in their business and
domestic affairs to more economic habits.
The principal recommendations of the adj
dress were that the delegates to other asso-
Citations report in writing such matters as
might be of interest; that the secretary
should be instructed to furnish copies of
the proceedings to all associations to which
delegates are sent; that the Craftsmanship
OF the committee on proprietary goods
should be made a Salaried position; that in
stead of an annual assessment a fixed
sum for annual dues should be agreed upon;
that the pamphlet of j. Il. Waters, on
Inter Insurance" should be embodied in
the report. A. B. Merriam, the secretary,
made his report, which stated that there
were at the beginning of the year $50 mem
berS of whom 210 were active members
and LAG associate members. From different
causes the membership has been reduced to
