the Teeting of the Trades and Labor
Assembly, Sunday. was the naming of
delegates to the State Federation con-
vention. to be held at Cripple Creek.
Colo, and nominations for officers of the
assembly for the ensuing term.
Early in the meeting before the call
for the convention was read, Delegate
Parker moved that the call be made a
special order of business before the
special order that had been made for
3 o'clock to take political action. A
point of order was raised on the motion
on account of the previous special order,
and before the point was ruled on sub
stitute motion was made that the call
be made a special order Immediately
following the special order made at the
last meeting. This motion was tabled
'on motion of Delegate Welsh of the
Horseshoers.
The call was then taken up in reg
ular order. and Delegate Harrison
moved that the assembly send two
delegates, one TO be a male delegate and
the other a female delegate. An amend
ment by Delegate Means followed that
three delegates he sent This motion
carried.

IN that the delegates be allowed $40
