uOO organized men, some of them who;
are represented for the first time in |
many years, aie considering business
matters. *lhe increase of wages will
not be the chief business before the
meeting, although many phases of la

will be discussed.
An unusual feature is the absence
of a wage scale committee which here-j

port for higher wages. While the;
delegates will make no direct requests
for higher wages, it is expected they
will take some action looking to the
maintenance of the present standard,
