rudeness on tho street-cars, 10 which they
are daily subjected. suggest that the con-

and place of holding the first meeting of
the National Legislative Council, which is
composed of the National President and
the presidents OF all the State alliances
An important piece of action taken during
the closing moments Of tho late conyen-
ton was the adoption Of a resolution with
reference 20 the support OF all the
alliances. The policy Of the Alliance
will be 20 withhold all support
from newspapers which do not
conduct an alliance department or ut least
publish alliance news regularly. This ar
rangement does not compel the support Of
alliance measures OF an advocacy of the
alliance demands on the part OF these
newspapers In their editorial columns, but
does compel certain degree Of friendli-
ness on their part and amounts 10 al ahso-
lutte boycott OF all the newspapers which
do not come up to the terms Of the resolu-
ton.
