The Supreme President Brother " l. Mandich, called
for order with his greetings Present were all members of
the Supreme Board and Officials.
Next on the order of business discussion
ports submitted.
President whereupon Brother Mandich turned the
gve to the First Vice President Brother Joseph Bazdar
who presided during this discussion.
Brother Mandich - At the last convention there
adopted recommendation that the Bylaws Committee for
several
days prior to the convention giving sufficient time to
make study of the Proposed Bylaws for submission to
the convention for approval The delegates and the
bershlp at lodge meetings will thus have the time and op
poruny to discuss any changes and amendments to
bylaws before the convention The convention Bylaws
Committee will decide the final form of the Proposed
Bylaws which will then be submitted the delegates and
can then be adopted without any lengthy discussions
For that reason recommend, said Brother Mandich,
that this Supreme Board the Executive Board to
name and appoint Bylaws Committee of five delegates
and members of the convention, which committee shall
meet in the Supreme Office eight days before the conve

per diems decided by the delegates for the of
the tenth convention
Brother Borich This is an important question for
curtang long and costly discussions during the conve

were approved by the entire Supreme Board Secondly

Brother Mandich - That is true, but my recommends

flee and that prepare the Proposed Bylaws together
enable bylaws committee to submit the Proposed Bv
Laws and avoid prolonged discussion at the convention The
past practice caused loss of too much time in discussion Of
the bylaws because of the recommendations made the
by laws committee itself In this case, that would be a.
voided
Brother Ovcarich In that case, l agree but the
meeting in the Supreme Office must not be longer than
three or four days.
Brother Krasich This is question of modernizing
our work and the convention. This recommendation
good one, and is good that from the Supreme
President Have the committee meet with the Supreme
Office Nobody knows the bylaws better than the officers
in the Supreme Office and the chief clerks who work with
We have suggested amendments additions changes
to certain sections of the bylaws which found
