MEETING PLANS UPSET
CENTRAL LABOR UNION
Controversy Over Star-Chamber
Proposition Expected at
Next Session.

At the meeting of the Central Labor
Union next Monday evening there is
expected to be a lively controversy over
the proposition, now formally pending,
to reconsider the recent action of the
union in voting to hold secret sessions
hereafter instead of open meetings, as
has been the custom heretofore.
According to Secretary Sam De Nedrey
of the Central Labor Union, there is
great difference of opinion within the
organization on the subject.
''Some time ago. said Mr. De Nedrey
today, 1.-The union adopted a resolution
to hold secret sessions in the future in
lieu of the time-honored custom of open
meetings. 1t is contended by respect
able number of the members, who were
primarily opposed to the proposition, that
the unions action in passing the resolu-
ton was irregular and unconstitutional,
as the constitution itself specifically pro-
vides that all motions for amendments
to that document must be made known
three weeks prior to the vote.
lin the case In question this action was
not taken. The resolution, therefore, was
sprung as something of a surprise.
1T is proposed to bring the matter up
Monday. There probably will be lively
controversy before a settlement Is
reached
Mr. De Nedrey denied that there is a
serious split in the union over the propO-
sition of electing a delegate to the con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor.

TO HUNT CANADIAN FOX.
Ten Couples of Hounds From Chevy
Chase Sent Across the Border.

For the first time in the history of fox
hunting in this country American-bred
hounds have been sold to Canadian hunts
men. Ten couples from the drag and
fox packs of the Chevy Chase Hunt were
shipped across the border recently and
will be used in the fall chases there.
The purchase is regarded as a tribute
to breeders and trainers of foxhounds in
the United States, and is probably the
end of the old idea among lovers Of the
sport that the English breed and train
ing had no equals. Prior to the present
purchase the Canadians invariably i'm
ported their hounds from the well known
kennels of the British Isles.
Shortly AFTER Clarence Moore's return
from his vacation negotiations were
opened with the Canadians, resulting in
the arrival of an agent here the early
part of the week. The latter advised the
purchase of the animals at the price
named by Mr. Moore, and the deal was
accordingly closed.
The Canadian purchase leaves the local
hunt with forty-two couples, including
number of green dogs which have been
tried out recently with more or less sue
cess. The entire pack will be used in the
fall hunt schedule, calling for three live
hunts a week and a drag on Saturday.
