RAILWA YCARMEN
HONORED WALLACE

The delegates to the convention OF
Railway Carmen in Atlanta continued
the business of election of officers
Wednesday morning. OF most interest = ;
the local lodges and to the Atlanta pub
lie in general was the election of /. M.
Wallace to the third vice presidency of

ties of the oIner officials corresponding.
Officers elected are +. NJ. Ryan, presi-
dent; Frank Paquin, Of Chicago, first
vice president; Alfred Chartrand, of
Montreal, Canada, second vice president;
/. NJ. Wallace, of Atlanta, third vice pres
ident; ]. H. Spells, of Denver, fourth
vice president ]. ]. Gallagher, of Bos-
ton, fifth vice president.
E. William Weeks, of Kansas City, sue
ceeds himself in probably the most
important office of the brotherhood,
namely that of grand secretary and
treasurer.
W. j. Adams, who held the post Of
chairman of the press committee of this
convention, was reelected as editor and
manager of the Carman's Journal
IT now seems more than probable that
no definite action will be taken on the Sc
lection of the site for the nome for in.
