CARPENTERS BALLOT|NG
FOR DELEGATES TODAY
Meeting Place of Next Conven-
ton Also to Be Settled at
Session Tonight.

Several ballots will have to be cast by
the delegates to the biennial convention
of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America, in session at
National Rifles Armory, before they can
choose the men who will compose the
delegations to the American Federation
of Labor and to the building trades sec
ton of that organization. This is the
belief expressed by several of the dele
gates after the first ballot was taken
today. Members of the tabulating COM
mittee have also to be elected.
The election of the general officers and
members of the executive board is not
a part of the work of the convention
but is done by referendum vote from the
various locals. The choice of a meeting
place for the next convention will be
taken up as soon the elections are
completed. This may be late this after
noon, but most probably will not be pos
sible before tonight
Memento for Huber.
The nomination of officers and members
of the several delegations and the nomi-
nation of the city where the next con-
vention will be held occupied the greater
part of yesterdays session.
