President Francis P. Horan of Hart- ford then took charge of the con- vention and presented his annual re- port of the year as follows: “Once more we are assembled in an- nual convention to review the pros- ress of our association during the past fifteen months, and to plan the work of our organization for the coming year, basic fundamental principles of onr organization is to co-operate with tne | post office department, our po ters and our national associatio mas- for ANSWER THE ALARM!

As an organiza- | tion of public servants we owe a great | | duty to the public, and the service | of which we are a part, of which | we must ever be mindful. | May a spirit of harmony pervade the convention today and may our de- | liberations and the business transacted redound to the credit of our oSrgani- zation and be productive of a great * | deal of good to the postal service, and | may it instill in our hearts a greater | love for the Connecticut state branch, | inspire us to renewed activity in its behalf, and stimulate our interest in the noble efforts that are being made by the United National Association of !

We have succeeded in bringing into membership practically every office in the state where a sufficient num- ber of clerks to form a branch s employed, and a number of clerks in the smaller offices have affiliated as members at large. g “It seems to me that our efforts in the work of increasing our member- ship should now be concentrated on the work of building up the branches in offices that have not at the present time the membership of all the cleri- cal force in their offices. “Let us then make a special effort this year to carry on a vigorous and energetic campaign, to the end that at the 1917 convention we can boast of a hundred per cent. membership.

We met with but one favorable response, that coming from New Brit- ain, and on condition that the con- vention be held on May 30th, on which date we had, prior to the agreement with the State Associa- tion of Letter Carriers, met for number of years. “Feeling that the prevailing senti- ment with the clerks throughout the state was for that date, and with the knowledge that New Britain was 2 very desirable place to hold the next convention, by a unanimous vote the committee decided that the next con- vention be held in New Britain on abandon the a | in war relief work, especially in well doing for the benefit of prisoners May 30, 1916. It was also voted that the date of future conventions be Carriers and of | left to the convention assembled here today. Sick Benefit Fun. “In accordance with the resolution passed at our last convention, in- structing the incoming president to appoint a committee of five, to look into the matter of forming a sick benefit fund, and to formulate plans for carrying on the work, I appointed about October 1, the following com- | mittee: Frank J. Langenham, Bridge- Cadwell, Water- Winsted, port, chairman; Frank New Britain; Patrick Barry, bury; Howard Pendleton, and Thomas J. Brynes, Rockville. This committee after spending about six months in gathering statistics, data, and other information pertain- ing to the work in hand, met on April 2, 1916, in the federal building, Bridgeport, and after belng in s sion for five continuous hours drafted a set of by-laws that will be present- cd for your conslderation here today. “This committee is deserving of the thanks of this organization for the faithful service they have ren- dered, especially Mr. Langenhan, who has given the consideration of this matter his careful and close attention, and who perhaps more than any other individual is responsible for any benefits that may follow its es- tablishment. I desire briefly to call your attention to the need of this feature in our organization, by adopt- ing it we are not only affording our members nrotection in time of need, but it will serve to strengthen our organization, and not only have the effect of adding new members to our ranks, but will enable us to retain them.

Recommendations. “In view of the sentiment that seems to prevail for the continua- tion of May 30, as the date of hold- ing our annual convention, I recom- mend that the future annual conven- tions of this association be held on that date. If this recommendation is adopted it will be necessary to make minor changes in the constitu- tion. 1 have noticed with regret that our official journal, The Post Office Clerk, publishes very little news from this state and I suggest that the of- fice of state editor be created or the work added to the duties of the sec- y reason of the adoption of a change from annual to bi-annual con- ventions by our national association, it will be necessary to change our constitution relative to the election of our delegate to same, and I be- lieve further that an alternate should be elected at the same time. “The practice of decorating the graves of their deceased members has grown up in a number of fraternal organizations, and the losses we have sustained by death the past few years, gets the thought that it would be a noble and heautiful custom for us to follow, and I suggest that the sec- ond Sunday in June each year be set aside for this purpose in offices where it is found feasible. “In conclusion may I express by sincere thanks to the officers and members of this association, for the cordial support given me the past fifteen months and for the honors conferred on me during the past years I have held office in the Con- necticut State Branch, as a member of the Organization Committee, chair- man, of the Finance Committee, Treasurer, Second and First Vice Presidents, and finally as President. it has been my purpose to give our beloved organization the best that ) P. will F.
