There was an unusual crowd at the
| opening of the B. OF l.. E. convention
yesterday morning. Almost every one
| of the 452 Delegates were on hand, be-
cause the selection of place for the
meeting of the next convention was to
| be decided the first thing. AS related
| yesterday III the GLOBE, there had been
considerable fun overtn matter thurs
| day afternoon, when the ballot boxes
were kicked over in order 10 prevent
| that vote being counted. The Ottawa
| boys were afraid that that town would
hot be in it, so yesterday there WAS
| great campaigning by the delegates
| from that city, Columbus and Salt Lake
| City. But the last two were soon cut
| of the race, and on the second ballot
yesterday morning OTTAWA won the
prize. receiving 29J votes. This left the
election of the third grand assistant to
be made from that city. and Albert
| Hudson, the leader of the Canadian
forces in the convention, was unani-
mously chosen.
| lie Is an engineer on the Canadian
Pacific, chief of Division 16S. chairman of
| the Legislative board OF the Dominion,
and vice chairman of the adjustment
com. lttee OF the Canadian Pacific. He
is one Of the best fellows in all Canada,
and will do all possible to make tie
convention at his nome in Ottawa big
| success two years hence. This cum
! pleteS the election OF grand officers, the
! list for the next two years being as fol-
lows:

that Senator Walsh. Of Georgia. has
modified his Jill, supposedly to conform
to The requirements vi our resolution,
therefor be il

copy and have opportunity OF Scrutin-
ling its provisions. and be permitted
to suggest amendments TO the same.

This was done because Senator Wash
burn hal sent communication to the
body asking that Judgment on Senator
WalSh's bill be suspended until they
had received Il copy OF it, saying that it
was loosely drawn and that they might
suggest some changes IN 1t which would
be acceptable.
The matter of handling the coal on
lines affected by The coal miners strike
was discussed, and no action was taken
| regarding 1t. There will evidently be
no sympathetic strike by the brnther-
hood on account of the coal miners.

AFTERNOON WORK.
| Fully two-thirds of the time during
the afternoon was taken up in receivin z
resolutions of various kinds, most of
| which were referred to the proper COM
mittees, and were not acted upon by the
body direct. The claims ordered paid
| by the executive committee amount Sc
far 10 S39,900, covering 800 charity
claims. These were in amounts varying
| from $50 to $50, and we're for the
widows and dependent engineers OF the
| brotherhood.
| Chicago, who represents the Adams 4
Westlake company at the convention,
| presented some railway supplies to two
| press representatives and their wives at
| the Ryan which were not like the tra-
ditional railway sandwiches. They
were much more liquid and refreshing
and the course dinner will long lirgel
| in the memories of those present.
Lang" is good fellow and very pupu
lar with the brotherhood and with his
| firm.
| THE LOST FOUND.
The missing engineer. McCawley. has
been found, and great is the relief ex-
perienced by his friends. He had been
ill hospital owing to fall, and by
some miSchance his whereabouts were
not communicated to the B. OF l.. E.
headquarters, as was his intention. He
is o. K. now and on duty.

The ball at the armory will be given

wise not to attempt it last night. 1t il
