N OFFERING RESOLUTIONS
Upon Various Matters Pertaining to
I the Order ~ Delegates Taken
Through Whitaker Mill.

cipaliy In, offering resolutions but none
OF the members would disclose the ma
ture OF these.
At the morning session resolution
was offered which in effect would
change the order Of business used by
the present organization. 1t was re-
ferred TO the Committee. They re-
ported, and recommended rejection,
and that the same order Of business
now In the constitution be continued.
This was resolution No. 0, and is one
Of the twcnty-four that have been in
troduced to date in the convention.
A resolution providing for the recon-
struction &C j.5nat!onal executive board
was offered, and took up most of the
time of the morning session. This res
olatloa caused n very lengthy and heat
ed discussion among the delegates. and
Is still pending. The present executive
board Is selected solely by the East Liv-
erpol locals, acting In conjunction with
the national officers of the organiza-
ton. The east has an advisory board,
but Its powers are very limited, and
they are subordinate In every way to
the executive committee. This resolu-
ton was offered by q Wheeling local.
and the Trenton locals fostered It. II
the resolution" goes through the cleo
ton Of the executive board will occur
at the annual meeting OF the national
convention. The executive board is
invested with full powers in all matters
pertaining to the national order. and
has full sway between the meetings Of
the national body. -
A resolution was offered which
would tend to Increase the assessment
from one per cent to two per cent. This
assessment Is for use In the defense
fund. 1t was rejected. nearly all thu
delegates voting against 1t.
A resolution providing that locals or
ganized In tho future shall have been
constituted and In existence six months
before they are entitled to representa-
tlon went through. after a little dis
cussion.
{ A resolution providing for an APP
prentice to every three journeymen was
presented, and after some discussion 1t
went over, and is still unsettled. Under
the new uniform wage scale, there is no
ratio Of apprentices to journeymen.
and II this measure Is carried out all
the potteries coming under the new
scale Will have uniform ratio.
After adjourning at IL o5clock the
various committees retired to their ho-
tells and discussed the matters intrust-
ed with them, and reported at the af-
ternoon session, which was called to
order at 9 o'clock.
Afternoon Session.
At the afternoon session resolutions
were offered suggesting that ut noon
Thursday j limit be placed to the Of
fer!ng OF resolutions. This was carried
by u two-thirds vote.
Resolutions were offered providing
for the appointment OF 4 committee to
gather information and prepare some
plan for adopting uniform scale on
red ware. They were instructed to re-
port to the national executive commit
tee.
, Resolutions We're presented providing
for n standing committee, to be COM
posed Of one from each branch of the
trade, one from the national executive
committee and two from each local. for
the purpose Of deciding all disputes.
New resolutions were presented at
the afternoon session, numbering from
twenty-slX to thirty-fpur, and were re-
ferred to the different standing COM
mlttees. The delegates maintained 4
discreet silence concerning the nature
of these lutions. and no information
could be gotten concerning them.
II Is likely that the business Of the
convention to-day will consist mainly
of the discussion OF resolutions and
herring Of committee reports. The
Trenton delegates have not yet begun
their fight on the uniform wage scale.
but 1t Is likely they Will begin opera
tons to-day or tomorrow. They will
likely present the matter In the form
OF n resolution. The East Liverpool
delegates favor the scale, and It Is like
~ n warm fight pro and con will be
waged In the convention to-day or to-
morrow.
Last night the delegates were. upon

Trades Assembly through the Whlta-
ker Iron Company's plant. The MEM
