session, and much Of the evening was de-
voted to deliberations pertaining to the
| business OF the craft.
After the nrst part OF the evening was
devoted to the preliminary matters per-
tanning to the body. the drawing for the
chest OF tools took place and Mr.. Carl
Jaestrom OF 737 Eddy street was an
nounced tho lucky man.
The question OF holding another smoker
came up for consideration and it was de-
| cided to hold another one on the 9Th OF
| February OF this year. 1t was the con-
census OF opinion that these sessions had
been of great advantage to the local. and
| the successes attained warranted the con
tinuing of these, so that the local might
be built up further.
| To the end OF holding the one i'm
| February II was decided to appoint a
| committee TO take charge OF the matter
| There was a communication presented
| TO the body pertaining 10 some little
| difference that arose between the local
| and that OF Westerly. This was 10 have
been settled last evening, but after talk
| ing IL over at some length IL was decided
| to hold IL over for one week longer for
| action at that time.
The remainder of the meeting was de-
| voted to routine matters and to general
! business till long toward the end OF the
| session. Then the time was taken up
| with discussions under the good and well
| fare.
At this time there were several of the
members who made short addresses.

GRANITE CUTTERS MEET.
There was a very interesting session OF
tho Granite Cutters last evening though
for the most part OF the meeting there
was nothing done but what may be sum
med up as the regular routine OF business
II was a good meeting and the most OF
the business pertained 10 the workings or
the National Union. The committee from
the building trades courci furnished the
best report OF the evening and several
matters OF interest were discussed.
AUDITING COMMITTEE OF PAINTERS
Last evening the auditing committee
Of the Painters union met and went over
the books for the past quarter lt was
found that comparison Of tho last with
the previous quarter showed that there
was a falling Off In the hnances Of the
local This is accounted for by the fact
that there have been a number OF the
members sick and donations have been
made for them. In addition 10 this there
has been a generous donation 60 the Fall
River strikers SO that this has depleted
the treasury 10 a great extent.
This will all be reported at the COM
ing session OF the painters when the
exact figures will be known. IL Is
thought. however that the sum total
will amount 20 more than S20o. The
committed feels that II has gained rather
than lost by this deficit since u has
aided it's own brothers as well as held
those In distress.
