Various subjects were taken up which caused many heated argu- ments; however, after thorough dis- cussion they were settled satisfac- torily to all, it was said. The session lasted until 2 o'clock when a recess of ten minutes was taken, after which the convention was thrown open to the public. The open session started with the appointment of an entertainment committee of seven to make ar- rangements for some kind of a pro- gram at the close of the convention Those appointed are Ralph Han- sen of the Longshoremen; Henry Alviar of the International Labor Defense; Nathan R. Correll of the Miners; James Paddock of the Car- penters; Victor Anderson of the Sawmill Workers; Jensen Olson of the Painters; and Chris Hennings of the Miners. Following this, several resolutions were read, including those for the abolition of herring reduction plants, the abolition of fish traps, and all standing gear, abolition of whaling stations, and in favor of the six- hour day.
