FLINTS ORGANIZE THE BOHEMIANs

The Window Glass Workers Association
met last night and discussed again the resig-
nation of President Morenus. It is believed
that Mr.. Morenus, who is still i'll at his
home in Cleveland, N. Y, insisted on his first
declination to continue in Office. standing as
his final decision, and that this was agreed
to by vote of the association.
If, however, all of the stories that were
gained after the meeting adjourned are to be
taken into account, it can be safely stated
that Mr.. Morenus never resigned at
all or that he never intended to
resign; that he did resign and
after being notified that the association
would not accept his resignation, he con-
sented to continue in charge; that his resig-
nation had been received and accepted, and
that new election would be ordered i'm
mediately.
YOU TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
The public will be obliged to take their
choice of the explanations for the present.
Secretary Cake said last night: "Mr. More
nus has not resigned to my knowledge. If
he had resigned should certainly have re-
ceived his resignation, and I have not re-
ceived any such communication"
Treasurer Hammett stood by his state
ment made two or three days ago to the
effect that the President had sent in a resig-
nation. The resignation referred to by Mr..
Hammett was acted on at the meeting held
a week ago, and Mr.. Morenus was immedi-
ately notified that the association refused to
accept it. In the same communication
he was insisted upon to reconsider his action
and remain at the head of the organization.
He was promised the aid and advice of Mr..
Campbell, the ex-President, and all kinds
of inducements were made to force a prom
ise from him not to insist on his resignation.
A reply was received to this letter from Mr..
Morenus, but the exact contents are yet con-
fined to members of the association.
HAMMETT SAYS HE RESIGNED.
Mr.. Hammett was asked for the result of
the meeting last night He refused to give
any particulars, saying: "You can pretty
nearly guess what we did. I would be
willing to state the action of the assembly,
because I believe it belongs to the public,
but there has been so much trouble created
by members giving away the business of
the organization, that dare not do SO.
It is generally believed that Mr.. Morenus
has insisted on his resignation being ac-
cepted and that the association accepted
it last night, whileSthe belief is held
by some that Mr.. Morenus has consented to
continue providing his health will permit,
and that.ex-President Campbell will con-
tinue to act temporarily until Mr.. Morenus
comes back.
TOO MUCH FOR HIS HEALTH.
One thing is admitted to be fact, that
the new President found the responsibilities
of the Office much greater than he expected
to find them, and that he gave up because
he felt he was not capable under the strain
of ill health to master the situation. His
friends say he does not want to return to as
sumo the duties of the Office, and is not
likely to do SO unless no one else can be
found who will take the place. The proba-
BILE successor to Mr.. Morenus is ex-Presi-
dent james Campbell, although the MEM
bers of the association refuse to discuss this
phase of the question. 1t is pretty certain
that change will take place within the
next few weeks.
