CLERKS TO
MEET ON TUESDAY
An Effort Will Be Made to
Change Date for the An
nual Conventions.

At the eleventh annual convention
of the Indiana branch of the United
National Association of Post Office
Clerks to be held in this city tomor-
row, Richmond members will offer
resolution providing that the consti-
tuition of the association be amended
so as to change the date of the con-
vention from. Memorial Day to the
Fourth of July. The change will be
asked on the grounds that Memorial
Day instead of being observed in COM
memoration of the men who fought
and died to save the union is rapidly
becoming a day for sports, picnics and
general good times, and that the
association could help to discourage
the present tendency by ceasing to
hold its convention on that day, as
well IS by SO doing cease to desecrate
the day itself. NJ,
Local members OF the post officc
clerks association believe that the res
olution will be favorably received by
members of the order from other parts
Of the state. There has been rapidl-
growing sentiment OF late thai Mem
oriai Day shall be observed only in the
way it was first intended. and 1t is 20
further the spread of this idea ihss.
Local postoffice clerks are desirous Of
having the association take this step.
Various other resolutions, it is said.
will be brought up by delegates from
other cities in the state. The Indian
apolis clerks are said to have num-
ber of resolutions on legislation con-
corning postofice affairs.

ton will be held in the Pythian Tenn
