Members May Not Submit.
Whether the members of the
local union will submit to this order
VIII be determined at a meeting of
the District branch. Saturday night,
Joseph H. Hurley, president of the
branch. stated yesterday. The ac-
ton may mean the loss to the
union of two hundred members. who
will Join the new local. but he de-
clared that il the District branch
were expelled from the National
Federation, the members would set
up an independent organization
Mr.. McLarin's statement reads:
Mr.. Joseph H. Hurley, who has
heretofore been acting as president
OF the District branch. is no longer
connected with the service of the
district of Columbia or with the
Federal Employees Union, or the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes. At the time he left the
service of the District, he had
severed his membership with the
union and has been declared by the
Union Ineligible for reinstatement

"f the District service" A few
weeks ago the union unanimously
elected Mr.. Hurley president.
Hold Separate Charter.
The granting of a separate charter
to the District employees is in accord
ance with a provision in our national
constitution to the effect that such a
charter might be granted upon proper
application" the statement of Mr..
hcLarin continues. This provision
was inserted in the constitution at the
request of the District branch of the
Washington Federal Employees Union
and the charter was granted to the
active officers and members of the
District Branch who applied for IT. '
Five men applied for a new charter
That a contest Is brewing regarding
the action of the National Federation
of Federal Employees. in severing con-
nection with the local branch. is the
opinion Of several OF the members of
the District branch.
Mr.. Hurley declares that at least
80 of the present membership of the
District branch are satisfied with the
present administration. This was
evidenced at the unanimous vote
east for him at the last election.
The proposed action would do moth
ing more than swing the rank and file
Of the union over from the present
administration to a new one, il Mr..
McLarin's idea is carried out, Mr.
Hurley stated.

THE HORSE MARKET.

Boston. January ], 1918.
The trading in the horse market
during the year of 1917 has been the
most prosperous one for many wears.
and has been a sharp and satisfying
contrast with the market OF the
previous year. During 1916 the east
ern horse market suffered from the
effects of the very strong market in
the west from which comes our sup
ply OF green horses. At that time the
Boston demand was not vigorous
enough to sustain the higher prices
that dealers had to ask in order TO
make a reasonable profit, and in con-
sequence the movement of the market
became sluggish, with all conditions Of
trading untavorable to both buyers and
sellers.
During the past year conditions have
improved. Buyers have become accus-
toned to the higher range of prices,
the demand has been urgent, and the
market ruled strong. with only short
periods of dull business, such as were
