MINERS STILL GRINDING
Committee Makes Favorable Report
on Judge Miners Home
Going to Saltair.

The principal topic before the West
ern Federation of Miners at yesterday S
sessions, aside from the consideration
of certain changes in the constitution
and bylaws, was the verbal report of
the special committee appointed to visit
and investigate the Judge Miners
Home The committee reported that
they found the home well adapted for
the purposes intended The subject was
under discussion when the delegates
adjourned at O'Clock.
The next matter of importance in the
deliberations was the action taken on a
resolution submitted last week to the
effect that hereafter in the distribution
of literature the words executive
board" for this convention. The resO-
luton was adopted. It was offered for
the purpose of correcting an erroneous
impression to the effect that all the ses-
sions We're to be considered as in con-
ventiOn," when as a matter of fact they
have thus far been Of an executive
character.
Committees on ritual and couStitu-
ton and bylaws made reports of prog
ress. and some of thei recommends
tions were approved and adopted. the
nature of which will be given out later
The report of the committee on con-
elect executive officers from the dis
trict which they represent" was pre-
scented with the recommendation that 1t
be not adopted A motion was made to
adopt the report of the committee. but
before it could be put to a vote there
was a substitute motion to the effect
that the report of the committee be not
COncuTred in and that the amendment
to the constitution be adopted. A roll
call on the substitute was asked for and
it was lost by a vote of 14S1a nays to
701z yeas. The original motion concur
ring in the committees report was then
carried.
TOday's sessions will begin at 9
o'clock but in all probability an early
adjournment will be taken in the after
noon to allow the delegates an OppOT-
tunity to reach SaltaiT by o'clock
where addresses are - be made by
President Charles II. Meyer and Secre-
tary W ID. Haywood The occasion Is
