The International Convention.
During the course of the meeting yester-
day evening there was good deal of talk
about the international convention of the
brotherhood now about three weeks off
| 1t was announced that all the railroa ds
| leading to Buffalo had made a rate Of one
| fare for the round trip, and that besides the
reduced rates the railroads will also give
other advantages to the delegates.
The Washington delegates intend to take
the Lehigh Valley route, and IT is expected
that the party will be the largest that has
ever represented Washington ut any con-
e.
Epiphany Chapter has arranged to send
| seven delegates, and as there is hardly a
chapter that will not send from two to
three. 1t is predicted that the Washington
representatives will number between fifty
and seventy-five. The basis of representa-
ton is one delegate for each ten members
of a chapter. and one delegate for the
chapter at large. Every brotherhood man
is asked to attend, and such members are
accorded all the privileges of the conven-
tioE except that of voting on matters in
volving close decision.
