were submitted to the convention, and

This concluded the days business.
The Scale.
At this session, the most important
issue to come up is the scale. Rel
atlyeiy speaking, the west is much
stronger than the east. The latter are
very much dissatisfied with the pres
ent scale. The machinery in the east
is not as modern as that Of the west.
Aside from that fact the kind Of work
is different. 1t is of a character to
necessitate the changing of the moulds
several times day, and as the scale
ranges on amount of ware and not
time, their pay is not as large. A great
| deal of time is also consumed in
changing tools and carrying the ware
to the kilns.
A number of delegates were inter-
rogated on the subject last night and
they stated that at the present time
! it was almost an established fact that
the present scale would stand in the
west. 1t was a probability, however,
that the eastern unions would be al
lowed to revise the scale to meet the
conditions.
Election of Officers.
1t was reported yesterday that it
