The committee reported at the regular monthly meeting Thursday evening that “after notice to all_parties interested and full hearings by the committee in con- junction “with the newly elected officers of the company,. the committee “reports unanimously that all of the past friction and disturbance in the company was due primarily to jealously of Alderman Joseph F. Fitzpatrick, Sheriff William Base- ley and Dennis Cavanaugh against the present officers of the company, and ‘the committee recommends that unless these three members named tender their resig- nations immediately that they .be expell- ed from the company. As the resignations were not tendered “Immediately,” the motion was made that the committee’s report be accepted and a ballot taken concerning expulsion. It was agreed that white balls should be against expulsion and black balls for expulsion. At the close of the balot the secretary of the company announced that there were 21 black, balis and two white balls case.
