PAINTERS ELECT NEW PRESIDENT.
The matter of the most interest at the
meeting Of the Painters last evening was
the election of the officers 10 take the
place Of those resgnfng. During the
evening the vice president was i'm the
chair and conducted the business OF the
meeting IN a very capable manner.
The first thing done was the hearing OF
the report OF the membership committee.
which stated that there were four OF
the members I'll. The members accepted
the report and voted a donation OF 81 to
each OF three Of them.
The next matter was the formal an
OF the death OF one OF tho
members. Mr.. Richard Landy. When the
was made the body stood
for one minute in silence and then voted
to drape the charter for 20 days
n was also voted 10 send a set Of reso-
lutions on the death 10 the International.
from which will come the death benefit
to the relatives. This will be- interesting
10 the members from the fact that he
lacked but a few days OF having been in
the local two years, and should the In
ternational headquarters decide to give
him the benefit OF those three days his
relatives will receive $50. Should they de-
eide TO count only the one fun year, how
eXer he wil receive but one=half or s7h.
II is the general opinion however that
the officials will consider his member
ship as extending over two years since
his dues have been paid up through the
month of March.
The union appointed as bearers Messrs.
HAYS, Morgan, Flynn and Dougherty
