and postponed changes in the draft
ling system.
While all seems peace and har-
mony. yet there is an undercurrent OF
Irestlessness and certain repression
lamong the Association that forebodes
n sensation. Evidently the American
association knows just what they are
going to do and IL Is believed that
\ II their demands-so modified
by action of the owners at the Chi
cago meeting last Sunday are not
accepted or compromise suggested,
lthey will come ont boldly and
lthreaten TO secede. There is some
talk OF split in the National as
