METAL WORKERS
FUNDS DECREASE
Death Assessments Not
Enough to Meet Demand.
REDUC TON IN SALARIES
Proposed to Abandon the 0ffise Of
General Organizer Altogether.
Afiiation Discussed.

The most important business before
the convention of the Amalgamated
Sheet Metal Workers International
Alliance now in session at Typograph-
zeal Temple, on c street, is TO devise
means TO strengthen the death benefit
fund. Several amendments to the con-
stitution are being considered today and
q thorough reorganization of the sys-
tenn OF making death assessments. il is
expected viii be made before the con
VentioE adjOurns.
II is said that the death assessments
have not been sufficient TO meet the de-
mand upon the fund, and that it is
necessary to draw Tor this purpose on
the defense fund, a fund maintained for
the purpose of the protection of the
organization in times of strikes or lock
outs. 1t is said that the tax on the
defense fund has been very heavy. and
that an empty treasury is among the
possibilities if the necessity for drawing
upon that fund continues, The matter
viii be The subject Of earnest discus
sion at the sessions OF the Alliance.
TO Reduce Salaries.
At the convention of the alliance held
in Buffalo the Office OF general organizer
with a salary was created and the presi-
-
represented an outlay Of $1,000 It IS
now proposed TO abandon ,De office of
the general organizer and TO make the
salary of the president 81. eco a year
Another proposed amendment is to
divide the United States into districts
from which shall be elected president
and SIX vice presidents. whose duty it
shall be 10 perform the Offices of the
present orgaHizer in their respective dis
;rlcts, Provision Is made in this amend
menl for the compensation Of the dis
trict organizers in ca c their services are
needed by local organizers.
Afnliation Discussed.
Another question worthy Of note which
Is beins. considered is that of the pro
posed alhliation of the Sheet Metal

LOOKS FOR RATIFICATION.
Senator Cullom Thinks Santo Domingo
Treaty Will Be Approved.

Senator Cullom, chairman of the Senate
committee on foreign relations, said in an
interview last night that he believed the
treaty made with Santo Domingo for nnanc-
Ing the affairs of that republic would re-
ceive the approval of the Senate at the COM
ing session. He contended that such ac-
tion would be a long step toward ending the
troubles of Santo Domingo.
This treaty" said the Senator, would
enable the government of the island TO get
the benefit of all its revenues and apply
fixed portion of those revenues 10 the liqui-
dation of the debt IL owes foreign nations.
If its financial affairs are not Strengthened
out through the friendly Offices of the
United States government the time may
come when some aggressive foreign power.
whose people are heavy creditors of the
Santo Domingo. may attempt TO take pos
session of the island until its debt is paid.
This Is a condition that this country
could not permit, and IL can be prevented
by the temporary administration on our
part of the revenues of the island and the
application of a part of the public moneys
to the payment of the debt. The most diff
cult part OF the problem Is 20 ascertain the
amount of money honestly due.

| IF Gomez brought the rifles to Cuba he

much less fight with them. We have
