| tion had been sent to the international
relative to them and that that body ruled
that the drivers Of cracker bakers teams
were held TO be statesmen and that for
present at least they were TO be so con-
sidercd. since past experience had shown
that they could be better handled in con-
nection with the bakers than as a local
OF teamsters. and hoped the matter would
be dropped there.
The horseshoers stated that their local

OF the division was a member OF $50 by
transfer, that the credit ought to have

united for the purpose OF winning the
prizes and though marching as one local
1SO was strongly represented. Several
of the members felt that while brotherly
feeling caused them to unite TO show the
proper strength, still from size and num-

glory that does not rightly belong TO IL.
The question will be discussed at the
meeting next week.
