 Few people realize the immense amount Of work necessary in pTepar- ing for gathering like the annual meetings of the American Mining con- gross. While therea re a number of committees of liberal membership one man generally must stand the brunt Of the labor and who must praC- tically lay aside his everyday business affairs to devote practically his en- tire time to the work. On the present occasion these duties were placed on Mir. Charles NJ. ModerweI. president Of the C, M. Moderwell Coal Co, with offices in the Fisher building, Chicago as chairman of the executive commit tee That he discharged these duties in an eminently satisfactory manner is fully evidenced in the unusually ! successful conduct of the affairs oi the congress. He had able assistants however, who are also deserving of praise, prominent among these being F.. T. Bent, president of the Oglesby COalC O.. who acted as treasurer of 1 tue executive committee.
