CHANGE IN BYLAWS
The long business meeting, which occu-
pied both the morning and the afternoon,
was devoted to important changes in the
bylaws, growing out of the question of
reorganization. AS to the side issue of
representation the bylaws now stand:
That for all clubs numbering less than
80, representation shah be through the
president or her representative only. For
clubs numbering between 80 and 100 the
representation shall be through the pres
ident and l delegate; for large clubs
delegate shall be allowed for every 100
members
The other vexed question of taxation
was not changed, nor was any effort
made to have a triennial convention in
stead eff a biennial The office of state
chairman of correspondence was done
away with, and presidents of individual
clubs are no longer vice presidents of the
general federation. Another change was
to the effect that council could be called
at the request of the board of directors,
or twenty-five members of the council,
representing as many states
A number of resolutions were passed,
one of them indorsing the New Jersey
federation in its effort to save the Pal1s
ades. Another urged the protection of
women and children in the industrial
world while third recommended greater
care as to sanitary conditions.
