Last evening there was bat a small at
tendance at the meeting of the Painters
union there being nothing or great I'M
portance to come before the meeting ana
for that reason number OF the mempors
felt that they might remain away with
out causing much OF a delay In the trans
action OF the business.
The business of the session was not very
lengthy OF docket so that it was not so
long after the session began before ad-
journment was in order.
The membership committee had the ap-
plication OF one member 10 report. This
was accepted and the men inducted into
the mysteries OF the organization.
Among the communications the most
important was that from the headquar-
ters OF the international stating that J.C.
Skemp had been selected to take the place
OF NJ X. Carrick, the former secretary
treasurer but now deceased. Mr.. Skemp Is
at the present time the third international
vice president

kinds 10 be rendered all showing the gem
eral prosperity OF the union.
The matter OF the business agent for the
building trades council was talked over
and II was found that II was not so much
20 the satisfaction OF the members 10
~, Ill ccA ~ a l.
nlents presented was to the effect that the
local did not feel Inat It was necessary
for IL 10 have another business agent in
the field sappng It's revenues while there
were some OF the locals affiliated that had
none at the present time.
In this way the proposition was little
unfair and was not wholly approved OF.
