ELECT MIN1YRE PRESIDENT
CARRIAGE BUILDERS HOLD
BUSINESS SESSION.
Reports of Executive Committee and
Secretary-Treasurer Heard.
Meet Again Tomorrow.

The election Of w. H. Mcintyre of In
diana as president. reports of COM
mittees and general discussion of bust
ness matters affecting the carriage trade
occupied the attention of the delegates to
the thirty-seventh annual meeting of the
Carriage Builders National Association
at the Arlington Hotel this morning.
There was no opposition to Mr.. McIntyre's
election. He has been an active member
of the association for many years and
chairman of the executive committee for
the past year.
The principal report was that of the
executive committee. read by Mr.. McIn-
tyre. After reviewing the history of the
association and remarking upon the good
work it had accomplished, Mr.. Mcintyre
said it was in a f1ourishing condition. II
it had never done anything else. he de-
clared, but establish the Technical School
for Carriage Draughtsmen and Mechanics
it's existence would be thoroughly justi-
fed.
Mr.. Mcintyre gave some interesting
figures on the condition of the trade
which he obtained by writing to carriage
manufacturers all over the country.
MANY Of them attributed the falling off
in the sale Of high-grade vehicles to the
increase in the automobile trade. Others
were of the opinion that the desertiOn of
carriage manufacture for automobile
manufacture by a number Of the leading
firms would result in greater prosperity
for those who stuck to the carriage trade.
The reports generally were good. al
though in some sections of the country a
falling Off of the city trade was COM
mented upon.
The report of II. c. Mclean. secretary
treasurer of the association, showed that
the association is in good financial con-
dition. Subscriptions amounting to ST.
21l.64 for the training school were re-
ceived during the year.
Brief addresses by B. A. Graham and
Charles r. Stevenson of New York and
the reports of the other committees fol-
lowed the reading of the secretary-treas-
urer's report. After the election the

Colored Men Appeal.

The National Independent Political
Club. with headquarters in New York,
has sent TO the President an appeal to
change his policy toward the negro. The
appeal is signed by the executive COM
mittee, which Is headed by Bishop Alex
ander Walters OF New Jersey, other sign
ers being Rev. s. /. Carrothers and ].
NJ. Waldron Of Washington. The appeal
criticises the President for his inaugural
remarks on the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitution,
declare these are violated In the south
and ask ii it is not his duty TO enforce
them. The appeal continues:
Among the colored people your policy
is regarded as the most paneful stab that
ever came from the hand of a chief
executive. 1t has caused the body of the
country's colored population to bleed with
disappointment.
The effect OF your policy upon the
south over whites has been even more Sc
rious. The south accepts your policy as
high vindication of all it's unjust deal
ings with the colored citizens of the coun-
try. Hence they feel emboldened to prop
agate their prejudices and unjust treat
ment of the colored people, even in the
sections where the two races have hither-
to lived together in comparative peace,
and whatever progress was being made
toward an amicable solution OF the burn
ing race problem has received a most Sc
rious setback and all its difficulties great
~ increased thus making the evil of
your policy national in its scope"
