| years that organization had advocated
| total abstinence, and that If it were
| left to the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
| Engineers, with it's $4,000 members,
saloons would be entirely wiped out.
An incident that furnished fifteen
minutes amusement to the conference
was the auctioning of of beautiful
hand-carved table which had been
used by the presiding officers at this
conference. The table was made by
the boys of the Methodist Industrial
/ school at Venice, Italy, and is won
