LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN.


CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 1s.-At
this mornings session of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen an interesting dis
cussion on the proposed changes i'm the

that the application of the candidate shall
be sent to the grand lodge Office and there
be examined by the medical examiner be-
fore a certificate of insurance can be issued
and sent to him, and he cannot be initiated
until that is done. The convention will
endeavor to amend the constitution so
that this may be remedied.
