The regular meeting OF the Metal Me-
chanics was held last evening in the
Labor temple and many were the items
OF business disposed of. For the past
few meetings there had not been much
of an attendance for several reasons, so
that the large amount OF routine business
had accumulated.
Every matter needing the attention OF
the local was treated last evening, from
the hearing OF the reports of the several
committees TO the receiving OF the del
gates from some OF the visiting locals
There were FIVE limitations into the local
and several communications read from
other sections OF the country. These All
showed that the local conditions were
better than that OF most or the other
sections.
Tho trades reports were all favorable,
showing an Increase in the facilities for
doing business. The local Is making
active preparations for the opening OF
the spring season. After the visitors
had been allowed ten minute occupa-
ton OF the floor the meeting adjourned

jurisdiction OF the local. At the present
time the Jurisdiction only extends over
