BRIEF CONVENTION SESSION
Conferences and Committees
Meeting to Prepare for
Heavy Day Tomor ow.

The Republican conference this
forenoon did not take up the report on
judiciary as had been anticipated, but
devoted itself to the report on irriga-
tion instead and to printing matters.
1t was decided to FAVOR printing $500
copies of the journal of the convention
and 100000 copies of the constitution,
$4,000 copies in each language. Dur
ing the discussion, it was brought out
that the daily cost of the convention
is $625 and that the sixty days session
would cost SAT 900. Already almost $780,
900 had been spent for registration,
election, ETC., and if the convention
sits the full sixty days, the federal
appropriation will be exceeded, as the
election expense for the adoption of
the constitution are to come out of
the 100000 appropriation.
It was also stated that the engross.
ing of the constitution on parchment
would cost 81 900. However, as the
convention expects to adjourn by No
vember Is, the funds appropriated by
the enabling act are thought to be
sufficient.
More Prohibition Petitions.

had called the convention to order at

man had invoked the divine blessing

women of Chicago came out in full
force today to aid in the work of
picketing by the striking garment

garment workers on strike are women,
but before they will be allowed on the
picket lines, they, as well as as the
girl strikers must attend picket
schools" Today a systematic picket
ing squad, according to the rule" was
inaugurated. Legal talent was con-
suited yesterday and rules for the
pickets drawn up in order to keep
them within the letter of the law so
the police would have no pretext for
arresting any one. These rules are
similar to those used by the shirtwaist
makers of New York in their long
struggle for the improved working of
conditions, and are expected to do
much in winning sympathy for the
strikers. Pickets are forbidden to stop
any one, or to stand in front of picket
ed shops. plead persuade, appeal,
but do not threaten" is one of the
rules.
