Dodge, Mr. Lee Donahue. of Davenport,
and NJ. l.. Staley. of Chicago, spoke
briefly on subjects of interest to the
dealers Rate legislation and rate dis
elimination came in for their share of
informal discussion. While the as
sociation stands strongly for rate legis-
lation, no formal action tending to
voice it's sentiment was taken.
The officers and those who are In
terested the most in the associations
affairs feel greatly encouraged as re-
suit of the very large attendance at
Yesterdays meetings. Members which
have never before attended were here
and the convention proved profitable
and entertaining.
Banquet in the Evening.
The lumbermen and their friends
took possession Of the hotel dining
room soon after 8 o'clock, and were
the guests of the association at tht
banquet, which was served to LOG. Inc
meal was most excellent one, served
in six courses, and the company re-
manned at the table for almost two
hours. No attempt was made to pre-
pare a program of toasts, owing to the
pressing business which employed the
officers time, and because many OF
those who attended wished to catch
trains before midnight. All enjoyed
most pleasant time. The Williams
orchestra played both before and while
the banquet was in progress
