This was the opinion of the members of the executive committee, al
though final determination 0f the future action of the association
will be determined by the board and officers at u conference in the
near future.
Under the constitution Of the ASSOCIATION the convention city last

the association went ghcad with their preparations and an elaborate
program of business aud entertainment had been completed.

the Irish Queen Mrs Prall was
taken into custody last month on a
visit to the courthouse, when she in
sisted that she had power to depose
President Wilson by authority of the

suading a jury that she was competent.

is sane and this view was shared by
several other witnesses.
Attorney C. V. Inlay appeared for

until the acceptance of several men
asked to serve have been received.
Stories of large profits and exor-
bitant salaries in war contracts have
caused an undercurrent of dissatisfac-
tion in the nations industrial life
which officials regard with uneasiness.

workers by ome employers have added

to the varying conditions in all parts of
the country. Especially will the board
endeavor to forestall interruptions of

method for adjusting grievances be-
fore they reach the strike stage.
