LONG NIGHT WATCHES
Delegates to National Conven-
ton Continue Session After
Midnight Hour

After holding an all-night session
and an all-day session yesterday, the
international Commercial Telegraph
ers' union adjourned at midnight
from the senate chamber at the state
capitol to Federation hall, Third and
Wabasha streets, where the report Of
the committee appointed early in the
sessions of the convention to revise the
constitution of the international union,
was taken up to be discussed and acted
upon section by section.
This committee, headed by Daniel
Sullivan, of New York, had originally
been appointed to receive proposed
amendments to the constitution, but
there were so many efforts made to
amend the constitution that finally the
committee was empowered to draft an
entirely new constitution for the con-
sheraton of the convention.
In formulating the draft of the new
constitution the committee had the as
sistance of number of the delegates
In addition to the committee regularly
appointed for the purpose, and when
the committee reported at 10: 80 o'clock
last night it was said that the most
Important work of the convention yet
remained to be done in considering fhe
committees report. A number of dras-
TIC changes are said to be forecasted
IN the report, but the delegates declined
TO discuss their general purport, ex-
pla1nlng that the changed conditions,
with the proposed affiliation of the
telegraphers with the two allied crafts,
required practically new constitution
for the international unions govern
ment.

Worked Through Night
The conventions session Fri
day night continued until nearly
o'clock in the morning, and it was said
that the reports of the committees ap-
pointed to examine the officers reports
were the bones of contention before the
convention. The members refuse to
state the nature of the complications
presented by the reports, but it is in
timated that there were irregularities
that were finally satisfactorily eX-
planned.
The session at Labor hall will prob
ably conclude the meetings of the con-
vention, as the delegates are deter
mined to finish their work and adjourn
tomorrow. There will be the election OF
officers and the selection of a city for
the convention of next year, and it is
probable that the headquarters will be
removed from New York to Chicago,
as the Western delegates are in force
in the convention and desire the head
quarters brought West. The Chicago
delegates will make strong fight for
their town. Cincinnati and Memphis
are both candidates for the next con.
vention.
