ten days and during that time the
large number of delegates were
kept very busy with the work in
hand. During this time an i'm
portant revision Of the bylaws Of
the order was made.
The headquarters of the Union
are retained at Ely where the or
ganization of the Union was eff
fected several years ago. George
l.. Brozich, who has held the DO
sltlon OF secretary for the past 13
years, refused to allow his name
to go before the convention for re-
election and was elected supreme
treasurer instead. John Gouze
who has been supreme treasurer
for the past II years also declined
the position he has held so long
and was named on the board of
trustees, being later elected chair
man Of the board.
Joseph Pishler of Rock Springs,
Wyoming, was elected supreme
secretary. His election will neces-
