The convention then went into execu-
tive session and consideration of creden-
tials was taken up, SO far nothing has

test is over the seating Of delegates from
Lodges that are In arrears on strike as

lieved that the committee will report IA

can Steel Hoop and Republic Iron and

will ratify what has been done.
There have been no indications OF

hours a change OF sentiment seems TO
have been wrought among the delegates.
There IL much interest in the presidency.
Shaffer Is an avowed candidate for re-
election and Assistant Secretary Michael
