Local No. 50 held its annual cleo
tion of officers Sunday, December Is,
with the new ruling going into effect
at this meeting emitting all road
members and members in Uncle Sans
service to vote by mail, had the ten
dency to cause one of the heaviest
ballot elections this local ever held.
The following officers were elected to
manage the affairs of No. SO during
fthe esuing year: President, Charles
Saunders; vice-president, Ed Tappen; /;
secretary treasurer, Joe Tagart; busi-
ness agent, Joe Burkhardt; sergeant
alarms, Bert Stanley; trustees, w.
M. Fonrow, Joe Burkhardt and Charles
Saunders.
Installation of the above named of
ficers will be held at our next regular
meeting on Sunday, January 5. These
new officers will appoint the delegates
to the Trades and Labor Assembly,
the Amusement Council and the execu-
tive committee.
With this personnel of ability at
its head there is no doubt in the
world but what Local No. SO will con-
tinue on its road to prosperity.
At this meeting a sick benefit was
inaugurated which should go a long
way toward fraternizing this local.
And will be the fulfillment of one of
our long and earnest desires, but
which up to the present time we have
been unable to launch.
Ellis R. Gerson is daily looking for
his discharge papers from the service
of Uncle Sam. And says that when
he receives them he is going to take
much needed vacation in Southern
! California. Ellis vacation will be well
earned, for in holding down the posi-
ton of advertising agent for Uncle
| Sam in Denver and vicinity he had
met up with some pretty hard oppo-
sition, and oftimes from those who
should have helped instead of op-
posed. But thru it all Ellis stuck and
his showings were everywhere. Where
the opposition had one flash he had
two and the answer is that he made
more than good with Uncle Sam. So
it is hoped that his vacation in Cali
fornia will send him home well rested
and more aggressive to get the flash
than ever.

CoaI REORGANIZATION

The necessity for some new meth
cd of dealing with the coal transporta-
ton problem was emphasized today by
scores Of reports that weather condi-
tons were as bad or worse than at
any time since the unprecedented per-
iod Of cold and stormy weather start
ed nearly two weeks ago. Heavy snow
throughout New York and New Eng

and elsewhere, made traffic movement
extremely slow and cut the supply OF
empty cars to coal mines far below
even the sub-normal supply Of the last
few days. ... ..
The bright phase Of the situation
was a report Of Dr.. Garfield that ships
we're being bunkered more rapidly
than last week, and that coal was go
ing in sufficient quantities to domes-
tic consumers. These were the main
purposes of the industrial curtailment
