Said he *An effort will be made to establish a basis s0.as to prevent a me z of such an un- wieldy mass as will be present this vear. At present the basis of representation is 1 to 1,000 wembers, or major fraction, Districts should be represented in the ratio of 1 to 3,000 mewmbers, The members would then be as well represented, and business could be better and more rapidiy transacted than by the present system. Another important question, that will réceive more favor than atany previous convention, will be the nec- essity of orzanizing by states, At present the distriet and locai the country throw work into “the ofl and treasu That giving thé muaster workman ot each state enlarced powers, and also making T member of the @ ral executive board, That, or something elosely similar, will be adopted at the conyention. - It must either decide upon that plan or the general executive board must be enlarged and_certain portions of the work laid out for each mewmber of the board, he to actend to that territory direct!y.” “In regard to strikes, the me ership of the order is being impressed with the idea that arbitration must be their Key note, not only in theory but in practice.
