MACHINISTS
To Meet In Convention at Buffalo

To Meet In Convention at Buffalo
BUFFALO,, N. Y, May 1.-For the
next week or more the delegates of the
International Associa alton of Machinists
and of the strongest labor organiza.
tions in America, will be in session in
this city. The occasion is the eighth
annual convention of the organization.
The law and auditing committees met
today to begin work on their reports to
be presented to the convention proper,
which will not formally open until
"Wednesday or Thursday.
The credentials of delegates receiv-
ed at the convention headquarters to-
day show that the gathering will be
the largest in the history of the as
sociation, probably because of the an
ticipated discussion of an important t
Industrial question, namely: the con-
tention between the machinists and
the printers as to whether the
machinists in linotype rooms come
under the jurisdiction of the Machi-
nists' association or of the Topographic
cal union.
Another important matter which
will be brought before the convention
is q proposition to take political action
in view of the refusal of congress to
pass the bill for an eight-hour day.
