sen IN accord with Its principles, and that,
therefore, such action would be III advised.
Alter a great deal OF debate the matter was
given to the committee on resolutions and al
lowed to go over until today:
fresluent Mitchell read his annual report
IN which ne said that the greatest need OF the
oruer IN Marytfnd was well-organlZed and
weii-dlrected lecture system. one which will
keep IN the neid at fixed salaries Tor the en-
IRE year men OF eminent ability and
ntness Tor the work. He suggested the
Propriety OF calling upon the suballiances
throughout the state to pay small sum quar-
teriy Tor each male member in good standing
and that the money contributed in that way be
used under the direction of the executive COM
mlttee for educational purposes only.
AS the result OF the work OF Lecturer Brad
icy several new alliances had been formed. but
the alliance could not hope of control the
gratultous services OF efficient men. In regard
to the alliance exchange, which the conven-
tion determined last year to put into operation

COMPLAINT OF UNFAIR TREATMENT.

urge upon them TO subscribe to tie exchange
80 that 1t may be put into operation at an early
day.
In conclusion he said: '1n every case
where the old political parties have been
asked by the legislative committee of the
alliance to recognize the alliance on the
tickets, as far as am informed, the request
mas been treated with marked indifference
and contempt by the political bosses and
party manipuiators. Shall we submit to
such treatment? This is grave question
one upon which the future usefulness, and,
depends and 1t should receive at our hands
careful and earnest consideration. We cannot,
dare not longer ignore the fact that bitter and
relentless opposition Is shown to alliance prin-
cipies by the leaders Of both parties in the
country; thaf monopoiistic press regardless
OF the means employed, Is seeking to rivet more
hrmiy tine chains OF the money power upon q
people almost helpless. Enemies In disguise
