McFee eulogized the profession Of

bers TO look upon their calling as
the negotiation of a contract rather
than as mere craftsmanship. He en-
phasized the element Of service IN

ance under the government plan,
McFee took exception to the state
ment of the government that its rate
is 90 percent below that Of private

clared that the government net rates

premiums of the private companies
in making this statement.

slowed in the company's franchise,

A committee was appointed al the

evening in st. Peters church to take
the matter up with the board of
safety and obtain the promise that
the railway company shall be kept
within its rights. The situation is
particularly dangerous, the associa-

company was granted as a conven-

hauling OF freight through one Of

freight should be handled as it is in
