 Pres. Horan's Report
 President Francis P. Horan of Hart ford then took charge of the con- vention and presented his annual re- port of the year as follows:
 "Once more we are assembled in an. nual convention to review the prog ress of our association during the past nfteen months and to plan the work of our organization for the coming year.
 We must not forget that one of the basic fundamental principles of our organization is to cooperate with the post office department, our postmas- tars and our national association for
New Britain herald., 1916-05-30

the betterment of the postal service to 1 the end that a higher degree of etti- ciency may be established and con- stantly maintained. As an organiza- tion of public servants we owe great duty to the public, and the service of which we are a part, of which we must ever be mindful.
 May a spirit of harmony pervade the convention today and may our de- Alterations and the business transacted rebound to the credit of our organi- zat1on and be productive of a great deal of good to the postal service, and may 1t instill in our hearts greater love for the Connecticut state branch, inspire us to renewed activity in it's behalf, and stimulate our interest in the noble efforts that are being made by the United National Asso citation of Post Office Clerks to bring it's mem bership up to 30,000 before the next national convention convenes at Fort Worth, Texas.
 Legislation. ~5...
 Owing to the failure of passage of the post office appropriation bill last year, no legislation affecting our inter- ests was enacted. However the usual promotions in the different grades were made.
 Although the bill making appro- priations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, has not yet been passed, we are assured that the provision that provides for compensatory time off for work performed on national hoh- days will remain in the bill as flnallr passed.
 T think you are all familiar with the bill known as the Griffin bill, which provides for the retirement of ,superannuated postal employees This was reported favorable by a sub-com- mittee of the committee on post of fees and post roads in the house to the full committee, and possibility of it being written on the statute books in the near future seems bright.
 Organization.
 'I wish to call your attention to the 1 good work that is being carried on | throughout the country by the na- 1 tional organizers, and we, as the first l state branch in the United National l association of Post Office Clerks, l should have prominent part in that | work.

 Tn accordance with the resolution | passed at our last convention, ln-

 Bridgeport, and after being in ses- sion for five continuous hours drafted a set of bylaws that will be present. ed for your consideration here today
 'This committee is deserving of the thanks of this. organization for the faithful service they have ren- dered, especially MT. Langenhan, who has given the consideration of this <, matter his careful and close attention,

 | Election of Officers.
 The election of officers was held and l it was expected that the following were oh osen: President, Francis T. | Wade of New Haven; first vice presi- l dent, John A. Mclaughlin of New Ha- ven; second vice president, Walter H. l De Forest of Derby; secretary, Frank l s. Caldwell of New Britain. At the conclusion of the business meeting the delegates will repair to the Elks home where the annual ban quet will be held. The same excellent care that has been shown in the pre- liminary arrangements for the con- vention was taken in making the banquet one to be remembered for many day by the assemblage. John F. Eppler, steward at the Elks club and noted for his ability to appease capacities, will prepare the tasty menu for the evenings entertainment. To add to the merriment of the occasion Lynch's orchestra has been secured by the committee to dispense popular melodies prior to the eating and during the banquet.
 To prove to the visitors that the. Hardware city is some place to reside in, the local manufacturers have re- sponded nobly in adding to the enJoy~- ment of the delegates, by contribu-A tions of suitable souvenirs. The fol~' lowing factories have donated: Trauts & Hine North & Judd, Russell 85 Er-- win, Corbin Screw Corporations Stanley Rule and Level, Landersr F'rary & Clark, Corbin Cabinet Lock and the George E. Prentice company.

Recommendations.

"In view of the sentiment that seems to prevail for the continual ton of May 30, as the date of hold ing our annual convention, I recon mend that the future annual conven- tions of this association be held on that date. If this recommendation is adopted it will be necessary to make minor changes in the constitu- ton.
 T have noticed with regret that our official journal, The Post Office Clerk publishes very little news from this state and I suggest that the of flee of state editor be created or the work added to the duties of the sec retary.
 By reason of the adoption of a change from annual to bi-annua1 con- ventions by our national association, it will be necessary to change our constitution relative to the election of our delegate to same, and I be- lieve further that an alternate should be elected at the same time.
 The practice of decorating the graves of their deceased members has grown up in a number of fraternal organizations, and the losses we have sustained by death the past few years, ,begets the thought that it would be a noble and beautiful custom for us to follow. and I suggest that the sec ond Sunday in June each year be set aside for this purpose in offices where it is found feasible.
 Tn conclusion may I express by sincere thanks to the officers and members of this association, for the cordial support given me the past fifteen months and for the honors conferred on me during the past years I have held office in the Con- necticut State Branch, as a member of the Organization Committee, chair man, of the Finance Committed 1 Treasurer, Second and First Vice Presidents, and finally as President It has been my purpose to give our beloved organization the best that

 "Who is he?"
 "A Captain Ashby of volunteers, who was a member of the original volun teer force which defended New York He fought in both the early important actions and was oaptured, after being severely wounded, ill the action above Cayuga He was in a prison stockade until ten days ago, when he escaped with the help of certain patriots living 1n the vicinity. One of these-a girl named Logan, between whom and Cap tain AsAby, by the way. there is ap- parently a sentimental attachment accompanied him here this morning having piloted an aeroplane taken from the enemy. Shesappears to have been most active, and her observations in every respect confirm your opinion, sir, that the enemy. having again failed to gain a decision, will be unable to con tinue their campaign on the present scale"
 Stone took the report and glanced over It. II see; see. The enemy has not only ceased to send supplies from Europe to his .Armies here, but he is actually withdrawing supplies soon to be needed to maintain his armies for the relief of the situation in Europe. That is quite in line with my other in- formation of the situation across the water. The scarcity in parts of Eu- tupe approaches famine. In Asia there already is famine, with chances of re lief only from these continents. If only now Canada and South America The door opened, an officer entered with head high, with eyes glowing.
