Taylor advertised that he had a good

VETERANS FOR
HOLIDAY Of
REGULAR F|REMEN

"sturm und Drang" would be a popu-
lar title for a description of the meeting
of the Firemen's State league last night
in the rooms of the Providence associa-
tion on South Main street.
President william II. Erskine had is
sued a call to the league to be present
at this special session to talk over the
advisability OF holding a concert and ball
some time in May so as to raise money
to defray tho expenses Of a muster this
year The storm broke almost as soon
as he announced the purpose of the call
and the stress continued until the at
tempt Of the president 10 resign was cut
off by n motion to adjourn.
The plan proposed was that each dele
gate take the matter back to his assoca-
tion for consideration and then report
their opinion at the next meeting. Speak
ing for themselves. the delegates began
to refuse 10 accept the suggestion, pre-
ferring to save their associations the
trouble Of talking the matter over at all
Past President Winchester was the frst
to oppose the plan Of carrying the mat
ter back to the association meetings. urg-
ing that each local body had its hands
full In caring for its own affairs and
or otherwise for conducting n state lesssue
muster.
Mr.. Hunt. another past official opposed
the suggestion on the same grounds,
when President ETskine I'm rebuttal asked
merely that the delegates present reserve
decision and take the matter 10 their
associations for approval or disapproval
He stated that as members OF the state
league there ought 70 be enough ambi-
is,t1 for he - h.

vised. The state league" he said.

Grafton" Mr. Whitman offered a sug-
gestion that each association be assessed
or asked TO donate n portion OF the money
for prizes. saying that they were too
scattered TO make concert and ball a
success
The debate then began to wax warm
with several. men trying to speak. MI
Boone Of Woonsocket was I'm favor Of the
plan to allow the associations TO decide
Mr. Patt also spoke briefly concerning
the plan
Capt Hamilton OF Cranston gave the
delegates from the Providence companies
n dig by saying that they were always
kicking and blocking plans for success
at the same time doing nothing. lie said
he and his association were sore over the
fact that there was no muster and he
was in favor OF any plan whereby mus
ter might be held this year. The thrust
at Providence created a stir and Paw

tol and Messrs Thurber and Davis Of
Pawtucket all spoke. as we'll as the cap
tain of the Bay View company OF East
Providence.
A motion was then made that the sug-
gestions OF the president be carried to
the associations for consideration. When
the vote was taken the president stood
alone I'm favor OF a.. The delegates de-
cided that not even the suggestion from
the president would be taken TO the csm-
panies. Someone then questioned the
legality of the meeting and there was
another debate. II was finally settled
that the meeting was legal and the
president was within his powers when he
called the special meeting, not specifying
what its purpose was.
Past President Davis OF Pawtucket
then introduced a set OF resolutions re-
lating 10 the hremen IN active service
throughout the state. that they be al
lowed one day In seven for rest and
recupera tion. The resolution was as fol-
lows:
Resolved That II Is the sense OF the
Rhode Island State Firemen's league that
the general assembly enact a law allow
ing the permanent hremen Of the various
cities OF the state one day in seven fol
rest and recuperation.
Resolved, That copies OF this resolu-
tion be sont TO all leagues OF tho state
and that they place copy in tho hands
OF each representative and senator
urging the enactment OF the law now
before the assembly.
strong plea WAS made for the adop'
tion OF tho measure and the urging Of
the passage OF the bill by both Mr. Hum
ond Mr.. Gon.
The president assured the delegate:
that the bill now before the assembly wa!

been assured OF that. The motion wa!
