laws presented a report, which was
fixed the representation at two delegates
from each company. This was objected
Ito by Company AS delegation. Of the
were from Company A. and the com
pany's representatives thought that the
compa furnishing the largest number
of member to the association should be
entitled to more delegates than a COM
pan furnishing one-ha1f the number of
members. The company was willing to
act fair in the matter, and wanted the
representation fixed at q basis Of one
delegate for each ten members. The

pany AS ranks was sufficient to doom
it, and when the vote was called the
entire delegation, with the exception Of
