Last evening being the occasion OF n
summons meeting for the Painters there
was very large attendance seen. The
cell was for the purpose OF holding the
elections for the officers.
The balioting for some of the places
was very spirited and the results were
announc FL with enthusiasm. The elec-
tons took up large part OF the meeting
and consequently the sessions business
other than that was very meagre.
The nominations were first In order for
the president and after the balloting It
was seen that Mr.. j. II. Hayes was
chosen to fill the place. The body chose
Mr.. e. II. Gardiner for vice president.
Mr.. c.. Stohlhammer conductor and Mr..
J. j. Flanagan warden.

their elections do not come up till next
winter.
When the elections were over and rati-
fed by a majority vote the body proceed

such as the hearing OF the reports and
the disposal OF routine matters.
The delegates TO the building trades
council made report in detail on the
business done at the last session and the
action taken with regard TO matters per-
tanning to the workings OF the local
Some other private matters We're also dis
cussed pretty fully.
The secretary OF the body made a re-
port as to the financial condition OF the
body that the local was in very fair
standing now. The report was accepted.
Several communications were received
from the intei ndtioi al and from various
other places. All ot them received the at
tention of the local.
The report CT the sick committee was
one OF the Interesting portions Of the
meeting. for II was reported that two
or three were on the list and appropria-
tions were made for them.
One OF the ,csIettable features OF the
meeting was the act that was unavoS&~
able. Mr. Reed the representative OF the
Western miners in this city. presented
his card for admission to the floor just
when the body was In the throes OF cleo
tion. He was asked TO wait and the cleo
ton went on. IL seems that he took the
delay as an affront and sent In another
card thsnldng the local for the discour-
tesy shown and departed.
The members OF the local feel that Mr.
Reed was somewhat hasty and misun-
derstood the body.
When ell the business was completed
the meeting adjourned.
