President Cam stated the object of the
meeting. Hon. Herman Myers moved that
the bureau be continued for one year.
Col. Gordon amended this by moving that
the bureau be continued Indefinitely. He
did not think any limit should be SET
upon its existence. MI. Myers accepted
the amendment. Both Mr. Myers and Col.
Gordon strongly indorsed the cOntinu-
ance of the bureau.
When the motion was put there was
general response. There was no negative
vote. There We're doubtless several pres
ent who were in favor of winding up the
bureaus affairs, but finding themselves
in the minority, they gave no expression
to their views. The action of the meet
ing practically means the continuance OF
the bureau for two years longer, from Jan.

tons for the maintenance of the bureau
