In their possession to secure the end de-
sired The invitation souvenir has had a
strong effect on the convention, and 1t is
safe to say that other claimants will have
small chance against their mighty COM
petitor
Toronto, Ont: Asheville, N. c.. and New
ark, N j., are in the field, but their efforts
are merely put forth in desultory fashion,
each being too loyal to shirk the duty, but
at the same time having no deep-rooted
wish to defeat the aspirations of the EXPOSE
ton city. Joseph A Jackson, president Of
St Louis, No 8, is at the head of the spe-
cial delegation here, and displays great per-
suasve powers. His size and glow of health
argue we'll for the Wanted plethora of good
things to eat and drink that st. Louis loud
ly boasts, and he has had much to do with
the conviction that has spread among the
delegates that they are in for royal good
time If they decide to go to his town for
their next convention.
Election Probabilities.
The annual election of International off,
GERS does not occur until next spring, when
they are chosen by a referendum, but there
is already gossip as to the possible candi-
dates for the Office Of president, now held
by James M. Lynch Of Indianapolis. Him
self strong candidate for reelection. he
will have some opponents, among them
probably being Henry Mcmahon. now the
president of Boston Union. No. ID. The
eastern delegates declare that his strength
is such that the entire east would stand for
him. and thus secure his election. He 10
very popular and, 1t is said, would have
heavy majorities in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington.
This does not carry the inference that
President Lynch is a weak candidate or
that he will lay down for any opponent.
He is strong in the west, has made a fine
presiding officer and would stand a good
chance of reelection unless the claims OF
the friends of Mr.. McMahon are based upon
something more substantial than enthusi-
asm. His strongest opponent will probably
be c. E. Hawkes., vice president of the In
ternational Union, his popularity being al
most universal. and Canada and the east
favoring him next to Mcmahon.
Mr.. Brentwood Very Popular.
There will probably be little or no oppose
ton to the reelection of Secretary Bram-
wood He is conceded to be the right man
in the right place, and there is no general
desire to change. He has had a long and
varied experience as an. officer of the inter-
national and exercises the duties of his Of
fee in highly able manner. Besides these
qualifications he is gifted with personal
magnetism that is a strong factor In con-
tests of this character. The office Is a DIFF
ficult one to fill with satisfaction to the
holder and the members of the union, and
Secretary Brentwood has succeeded where
others have signally failed.

Secretary Bramwood's Views.
Secretary Brentwood took occasion, dur
ing the debate to air his views on amend
ments. He said:
IF had my way I would strike out
thirty pages of the laws instead of
changing them all the time and wasting
valuable time
as there a delegate who is not willing to
give a fair days work for a fair days pay?
l myself am a machine operator, and want
to ask this delegation If there is a man here
who says that an employer has not the
right to know what amount of work he Is
getting for his money. He has a right to
know. and If he is to know this by COM
polling the measurement of the strings of
each operator or by the installation OF
clocks on the machines in his office say
that we have not the right to deny him this
privilege. do not believe in any such sort
of tyranny. A fair days work for fair
days pay and the inherent right of every
man to know what he is getting for his
money. If l had my way l would strike
from the constitution every word that is
opposed to absolute equality in every line
of our trade. There Is not newspaper pro-
prietor in this country who is responsible
for the amount of work done by his print
ers. and If you want to set thousand ems
or ten thousand it Is your business, but he
has the right to know how much you are
doing, and SO to know what he Is paying
for a certain quantity Of work"
Up to adjournment there were fifty prop
ositions considered by the convention out
of total of seventy. OF these all have
been adopted as reported by the laws COM
mittee with the exception of No. 45, which

Notes from /. s. J..

The new mechanical workshop of the
Louisiana State University at Baton
!. Rouge has been completed, and Prof.
Herget Is busily engaged in putting in
the machinery. He IS assisted in this
work by Cadets st. Amant, Keller and
Vignes. This is two-story brick
building 200 feet by 80 feet, and is be-
ing fully equipped with all materials
necessary for first class department
of mechanic arts and drawing.
The library OF $4,000 volumes has
just been moved into the new Hill
building by Cadet ]. w. Taylor, assisted
by Cadets Paulsen, Fridge and Strick-
land, and the University can now boast
Of . library and reading room as beau
tiful and commodious as any in the
South.
The new laboratory for Physics, Elec-
tricity, and Civil Engineering was fin
ished on August LIST. It is hand
some two-story building Of pressed
brick and cement, liz feet by Sc feet,
and will enable the University to open
its next session with greatly improved
facilities for Instruction in these i'm
portant departments.
The machinery for the power house
has arrived and is being put in place
under the direction of Prof. Atkinson.
The electric lighting plant is being in
stalled by the Interstate Electric Co.,
of New Orleans. These plants will not
only serve to furnish power to the
workshop, heat to the new buildings
and light to the whole university. but
they will be nsed for the practical in
struction of students in the mechanical
and electrical courses.
Capt Alyan G. Read. the recently APP
pointed Commandant OF Cadets, Will
report for duty on the lst of September,
and will be ready to take up vigorously
at the opening OF the session the work,
drilling the cadets who are to spend .
week at the st. Louis Exposition next
spring The Louisiana exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition should
surpass all others, and it is believed
that no liner looking or better drilled
or better disciplined body of young
men will visit the Exposition than the
