DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 22.-
The battle for the soup bone, as
it was called by one of the vice.
presidents, is on in full swing at
the convention of the Inter-
national Association of Mach
inists here.
By a vote of 1926 to 1913, the
convention voted to adopt a
| change in the constitution
which is supposed to eliminate
a number of useless jobholders
in the general executive adj
ministration, but which actual
ly hands over more power to
those at the head.
Rank and File Lineup.
The rank and file supported the pro-
position when the vote was taken, not
because of it's allegiance to Johnston,
but because of its desire to take some
of the takers off the payroll, the bur-
den of which rests on the backs of
the membership.
The proposal was to change the
constitution of the Grand Lodge, so
that the number of vice-presidents
would be reduced from ten to seven,
and the executive council to consist
Of the international president, the
general OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and the
seven vice-presidents. 1t was sup
ported by Johnston, the president and
Dawson, the secretary-treasurer, who
don't give boot as to how many are
on the payroll, but who wanted to
centralize the control of the union in
to the hands of the Johnston family,
by giving him the power to appoint
the organizers of the international.
Appoint or Elect?
Now that the matter of reduced
payroll is settled, the fight will take
place on the question of appointing
or electing the organizers. Johnston,
of course, wants to have them ap-
pointed-by himself. The rank and
| file. delegates are overwhelmingly in
favor of the various territories elect
ing their organizers, thus giving the
membership direct control over them.
1t was amusing to see the various
vice-presidents who were in fear of
not being elected again, make a fight
against the reduction amendment.
The struggle within the old admins
Itration was brought out into the open
and every bit of dirty linen went
thru the process of cleansing right
there.
The first one to speak was vice
president Anderson, who admitted
that he was fighting to hold his job
He said that it is not the officialdom,
but the rank and file that makes the
sacrifices in the organization.
Vice-president Dave Williams sud
denly got his dander touched and he
pointed out the growing friendship
between the administration and Wall
Street, Johnston's picture having been
featured in the Wall Street Journal.
He made the interesting prediction
that If the Johnston proposal went
thru, Victor Gauthier, Toledo faker,
who expelled the Communists, would
be left sailed high and dry.
Charges Bank Is Open Shop.
Nicholson, another vice-president,
took terrific swat at the administers
ton, charging that the amendment
was written in the Grand Lodges Of

Halloween Carnival By

The Baptist Young Peoples Union
held it's annual Halloween social
Thursday evening in the Sunday
school rooms of the Baptist church.
The occasion was we'll attended and a
delightful time experienced by all.
The decorations were strikingly ap-
propriate for the occasion. The en-
tertainment was of the nature of a
carnival. The booths of the different
rooms furnished many delectable ar
ticles which were freely purchased by
the attendants. Fortune-telling, games
and a comedy were features of the
occasion. These attractions, with the
excellently prepared eatables, gave
spirit to the occasion. Miss Katherine
B. Jones, the president of the B. Y.
P. U. organization and the commit
tees on arrangement and program,
with those engaged in carrying out
the program, are to be congratulated.
