a member OF the Provisional Committee
to visit or otherwise meddle with an assem-
bly, of this order. That decision should be
approved, and a law passed at this meet
ing which would promptly expel from the
order the member who would engage in
such dastardly work as was inaugurated
at the meeting of Chicago.
