America brought their convention to

indianapolis was selected for next
years meeting.
About the most important business
transacted during the afternoon ses'
sion was the adoption OF the recon-
mendation for a strike and sick benefit
fund. The association plans TO keep
upwards of 100000 on hand for the
strikers and sick members. This pro-
vision was deemed necessary because
OF the great drain on the general
treasury for strike benefits, particu-
larry during the past few years.
The convention decided there was
no ground for complaint from many
OF the locals to the effect that they
were being taxed too much by The
auditors. During the coming year the
association will make a determined eff
fort to abolish prison labor which COM
petes with the garment workers.
