these dispatches last night, YSs sent BY

ing, and their sction onSlS Will sbe
awaited by him before he does anything
further. Among those mentioned as
! possible candidates for MASTER workman
| no one is more frequently spoken Of than
W. T. Lewis Of PIEtsburg. He Is Chief
executive Of the Miners Association,
comprising 90 900 members, and bis or
gsniZation is liable to withdrST s! sheir
] meeting in December unless action Agree-
able to their wishes Is taken 81 this time.
While Lewis is pushed by his friends, he
himself states he is not 8 candidate.
George S3hillIpg, the Chicago socialist,
has been spoken OF in this connection, but
many Of the delegates consider such sugA
gestions in the nature of 3 j)ks, While
Schilling will not submit to being inter-
viewed.
The morning session WAS almost en-
| tirely devoted to reports Of Treasurer
Frederick Turner, of the general investi-
g&soI OF Womsn's work and wages, Mrs.
L. M Parry, and Of the general executive
| board. Lhe roll WAS called for the in
sroductton By districts CT documents and
! resolutions, such as they would sac fl to
ofar. These were referred unrsad 10
what is called the distriputi commitiee
| by whom they will be given to proper
| committees. A talegrsm OF greeting was
read from Chief Arthur Of the Bother
| hood Of Locomotive Engineers snd re-
ces5 t'ken till flerooon.
| The general treRs lrer giv3s isemIzed
b? reports o. receipts snd expenditures for
the yeSE ending June so, 1883, snd In :
supplementary report uo 10 October 81,
1888. Tie receipts in the fist from sup.
plies, per capita tax, journal, charters,
| special defence assessment, suDeals snd
miscellaneous aggregate S222, 507 90.
Expenditures: Donations, S49,S 67;
In salaries, S23, 005 So; in printing, Sl4,-
$50 50. For the four months covered in
the supplementary report the receipts
were S52, SOL y and the expendI .ures
s42 1926 So. In conclusion Mr. Turner
says according 20 the receipts from the
tax the membership has reached about
100000 during the past fiscal yesr, and st
the present time tbs receipts are not suffi
cient to meet the necessary expenses. A
reduction OF $4,000 IN expenses can be
accomplished with 1It Getrimeut to the
ords:, ana ne therefore recommends
l. The abolition of mileage pAIu 10 rep
resentstiVes.
The consolidation Of the eli ses Of
general secretary and general treasurer.
8. The reduction OF the general execu-
tive board to not more than five member,
less If possible.
This basis on mileage and salaries paid
last year will reduce expenditures ss
sisted above. In view of the great fall
ing OF in membership and the deb. which
Is hanging over the order, the delegates
are now feeling rather blue sDd wondering
what the outcome will be. At the
end Of June, 1887, the order was
S5972 II shesd. OF it's condition one
yesr later, Mr.. turner says: On June
80, 1888, our balance WAS 1854 e6, with
bills to the amount OF 1927 due and I'M
paid. October 81, 1888, taere is O balance
Of S4S 50 with S3Ss7 SO IN dae and I'M
paid bills.
