In the contest for the election of
business agent to represent the twin
city lnachinists' union, p. Morrissey Of
Lodge No. 112, ST. Paul, was the sue
cesstul candidate. The race was be-
tween c. e. Burch, Thomas Van Lear
afld Mr.. Morrissey. No. 112 gave
Mr.. Morrissey a handsome vote, he
receiving 1877 out of IT'S votes cast,
giving him good lead. The office in
Minneapolis will be maintained as
formerly and the new official will d1-
vide his time between the two cities.
The selection Of Mr.. MOrrlssey is re-
garded by members of the craft as a
good one. He is q man Of wide eN-
perience in handling union affairs and
enjoys the confidence Of his fellow
worllmen. In the past five years ne
has been q member Of various COM
mitteeS which have handled numerous
scale controversies and other matters
connected with the railroad branch
of the Machinists' union, and is at
present one of committee engaged In
negotiating with the Great Northern
Railway company for settlement or a
schedule involving the whole system.
Mr.. Morrissey last week was elected
president OF the Great Northern dis
trict lodge, composed of representa-
tives of every lodge on the Great
Northern system, and this In itself IS
great honor
A compact has been formed between
the machinists of the Northern Pa
cffc and the Great Northern roads
which practically brings the workmen
of both under one jurisdiction. Repre-
sentatives of the lodges on each sys-
tenn met and drew UP bylaws which
will govern both, and this means that
eventually both roads will be under
the direction Of one district lodge
where two at present exist.
Mr.. Morrissey assumed the duties OF
his office today. Charles e. Burch
former business agent, will remain a
headquarters for the next ten days
and will assist the new official in be-
coming acquainted with the duties O.
the position.

prompted some traders to take the
