Board Received.
Cedar Rapids, Sept. 6.-The various
reports of the officers of the associa-
ton and the report of the advisory
board was the only important bust
ness transacted by the national con-
vention of postal clerks yesterday.
The secretary recommended the ap-
pointment of local organizers bien-
nially instead of at annual conven-
tons. that the position of editor Of
the Postal Clerk be elective instead
of appointive and more strict limit
on representation. The report of the
advisory board dealt with attractions
of the civil service law and was re-
ceived in secret session. An alleged
combination of the delegates Of Bos-
ton, Chicago. New York, st. Louis,
and Philadelphia to control the &C.
ton of the convention is being fought
by the smaller cities.
The test will come on election Of
officers. The mutual benefit plan will
