thirds of the subordinate councils. The
requisite number of councils have not yet
voted to ask for special convention. nor

holding it. The committee managing the
affair for the rebellious faction will meet

lar to the councils in which the national
officers will be charged with admitting to
the board of government members who
were not in good standing in the order
