UNION or TWO FEDERATloNs
AT the meeting Of the Executive

brought before the meeting was a dis
cussion af what action would be TAX
en- at the biennial in Boston in June
regarding the two state federations IN

The matter was finally referred to a
committee who reported at the next
session recommending that the two

that, pending union delegates from
both federatons would be recognized
at the convention in Boston. This
recommendation was adopted and no.

be a mighty power in the new state,
working for better laws. better edu-

last night for the o'clock north

travellers. They were mother and son.
Mrs. Martin Hingle and her 14-year
old son, Arthur, whose story was her
aided BY the press throughout the ma

had been to Hobart to get her son
who was stolen away over two years

About nine months ago he drifted in
to Hobart where he soon obtained
