an actor. The result was that Mr..

ENGINEERS STAND
BY GRAND CHIEF
Endorse His Action on HIGH
Living Cost at Fifth
Sunday Meeting

Local engineers who attended the
fifth Sunday meeting at Olean, y.
Y, have returned. 1t was a great
session. Questions now before Con-
gress were discussed. There was a
difference of opinion on the Plumb
plan for control of railroads. Some
engineers refused to be committed
on this question, while others were
in favor of it.
The next fifth Sunday meeting
will be held at Wilmington, Del. on
November so. 1t will be the last for
this year. The first meeting in 1920
will be held in Harrisburg on Feb
ruary %. 1t will be leap year and
this is why February will have five
Sundays.
Endorse Grand Chief
The engineers discussed the eff
forts of the government to reduce
the high cost of living and also the
labor situation of to-day. \ reso-
luton was unanimously adopted by
the meeting endorsing the action
taken by Grand Chief Stone in re-
gard to President Wilson's move
ment for a reduction in the high
cost of living and that if such is
not accomplished within a reason
able length of time that it is the
sense of the meeting that a demand
in pay be made to overcome the
high living prices.
The social features in connection
with the meeting were cut short by
reason of street car trouble in the
city of Olean. There was however,
banquet served under the auspices
of the G.. I. A. to the b. of l.. +. that
was highly enjoyed and proved very
entertaining. There were twenty
eight divisions represented, being
from New York, Pennsylvania, Del
aware, Ohio, West Virginia and
Maryland.
