up after the constitution and bylaws

introducing a resolution making the

turers and producers TO voluntarily
contribute when the call fer funds was
urgent There was some opposition,
which was led by R. J. Davis, general
manager of the Van Emon elevator
company, who wanted the dues fixed at
$40 month. Zoeth S. Eldredge and
R. Z. Queen supported the Sbarboro
resolution and it was passed.
