IN SESSION MANY HOURS Concluded f a pill Unit would drop them from the seventeenth heaven with a dull, sicken ing thud." A letter from It. J. Foster was rend Inviting the delegates to visit the School of Mines and another from Ma jor W. .S. Millar, exalted ruler of the Klks, inviting all delegates who are Klks to attend a social session held last night at the Klks' rooms. Mr. Nutt. of Philadelphia, moved to clear the hall of all persons not dele, gates, but his motion was tabled. Mr. l'pson. of Philadelphia, said: "Wo want the whole country to know what we are doing." A resolution recommending to the carriers the autobiography of P. P. Cox. leeently compiled by M. II. Northup, of Syracuse, was adopted. Chulrman r.raham. of the Mutual Henoflt association, trustees, read an Interesting report on the standing of that organization. Resolutions were adopted disapprov ing of carriers taking their vacations pre-ennlal and of substitutes being re. quired to wear the letter "S" on their coat sleeve. Vice-President Tuber read his an nual report and was accorded a vote of thanks for his elilclent service. At 12 o'clock thy convention adjourned for dinner. In the Afternoon. AT THIC opening of the afternoon session the report of the com mittee on revision of the con stitution was submitted and taken up for consideration section by section. Chairman Keller read the report and also spoke frequently In defense of clauses that were attacked. An attempt to make tho conventions bl-ennlnl instead of annual wns lost by an overwhelming vote. Tho "noes" shook the chandeliers. Delegute Klefner, of Omaha, wanted to Insert In tho second section the words "advisory board" for "execu tive board," in anticipation of the adoption of a provision reorganizing the list of oincers and cutting off a number of committeemen for the pur pose of saving expenses. On Mr. Fitz gerald's point of order the chair ruled the motion premature. Mr. McFadden, ot St. Louts, opposed the provision allowing state nnd dis trict organizations a representative in the convention. Messrs. Curtln, of Lynn, Mnss.; Maher and Lougheed, of Detroit, spoke for the retention of this provision, arguing that through state and district organizations tho distant cities and small towns had their only means of securing representation. Chairman Keller made a lengthy and telling speech along tho,snme lines. Ho also argued that It was a matter of self-protection for the nationnl associ ation to bring the state and district associations under its jurisdiction. The McFadden nmendment wus lost. Delegate O'llrien, of Cleveland, want ed forty Instead of twenty made the basis of representation, but the big cities killed It. Secretary Cnntwell spoke In favor of the proposition argu ing that the conventions were becom ing too unwieldy. "Sixteen to one Is the proper ratio," he remarked face tiously. Hisses followed. Chairman Keller, of the committee on constitu tional revision, argued ngalnst cutting down the basis of representation, as did also Messrs. Duffy, of Youngstown; Finnen. of Uloomlngton, and a number of others. Tho vote In favor of re taining twenty ns the basis of repre sentation was carried by another over whelming majority. When the article on "Odlcers and F.lectlons" came up for adoption, Mr. Klefner, of Omaha, and his colleague, Mr. Mackey, made a light to throw out the executive committee of nvo and substitute for it nn advisory board composed of the president, secretary, treasurer and committee of three on legislation. Their purpose In this was to save the expenses Incurred by tho attendance of a large body at the meet ings held between conventions nnd also at conventions. Messrs. Fitzgerald and Kelly, of New York, nnd Graham, of Chicago, spoke against this, characterizing it as false economy nnd a dangerous proceeding, concentrating top much power, as was claimed, in a few men and taking away the only chetk the body at large has on the salaried otllcers. Tho Klefner proposition received only three votes. The clause as finally adopted provides for a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, execu tive board of live, legislative commit tee of three, constitution and by-laws committee of three, one vice-president from each stnte, nnd n civil service committee of three. The last named committee was Inserted on motion of Mr. Ilnedel, of Seranton. Tho proposition to place all the money In the general fund instead of putting aside a third for the work of the legis lative committee was productive of lengthy debate. The committee's Idea wns to havo tho different departments present an estimate ot their expenses are the pills that will. 'Nuf sed. ' Most any one can I make a pill that may j Ayeifs 1 Pills i rom Page 1. for the coming year nnd have the con vention appropriate as much as It may deem wise to meet that estimate. The committee's recommendation was fin ally adopted. If u deficit occurs the succeeding convention can tako it up. The Louisiana delegation wanted It prescribed that a stnte association could be formed of three branches in stead of live, as their state lias only three branches, there being very few free delivery cities In that state. The convention granted the request. Mr. Schoek, of Chicago, wanted to Increase the bond of the treasurer from $7,000 to $50,000, but it was voted down. A recess wns taken at C o'clock to re convene at 8 o'clock for executive ses sion. Night Session. THi: night session was taken up almost entirely with the con Hidorntlon of the initlatlvo and refetendum clause, which the commit tee so strongly urges In Its report. The clause toads ns follows: Any three members of a Branch In good and regular stundlng may present, in writing signed by them, at u regular Branch meeting, amendments to the con stitution and by-laws of the National As soclatlon of Letter Carriers, which, It endorsed bv it two-third voto ot the Branch, shall bo forwarded to tho na tional sreretnry, under seal of the Branch, who shall cause the same to be printed in our otllclal paper, tho Postal Becord. at least thirty l) days prior to our annual meeting, when they shall be referred to and reported upon by the committee on constitution and laws, for action; provided, further, thut any of ficer or delegate, may, during the llrst two days of an annual meeting, present amendments in writing, which shall be endorsed by at least two others and re ferred as provided above.

Within ninety (90) days after a resolution or amendment bus been referred, the national secretary shall publish in the Postal Becord a complete statiment of the result of the ballot, and should there be u majority of votes in the ntllrmatlve, the resolution or amendment shall bo declared opera tive and la force on the first day of the month following its publication In the Hecord.

All amendments to this constitution shall, unless otherwiso provided for, tako etfect on tho first day of October fol lowing the annual meeting at which they were adopted. Although the session lasted till after 1 o'clock this morning the consideration ot the report was not concluded. Ad journment was made to S o'clock this mornlnsr. Last Night's Concert.

In the trees above many electric lights gleamed and the brilliantly Il luminated space extended far out Into the street, where thousands of listen ers made up a vust throng reaching In every direction. It was a beautiful evening, pleasant ly cool, nnd tho music sounded exceed ingly well. Mr. nnd Mrs. Connell and Colonel and Mrs. Itlpple greeted the entertain ers of the evening from tho veranda where many guests were seated. The youthful leader of tho band car ried the golden cornet presented him Monday night nnd which he said would have bought a house In Seranton.

Tho latter, under tho direction i f Professor John T. Watklns, sang with unusually fine effect. The sclec.lons were favorite ones, among which Wuro "Tho Mnrtyrs of the Arena."

The decora tions were above and beyond anything wo have been privileged to sco nt our conventions. Your city Is truly tho Electric City of the United States and Is continuously bright. And tho ladles, how could we forget them! They were first at the train, first at tho line of march ami first In the hearts of tho letter carriers. They must all huve the hidden charm of everlasting life for they were nil young, fair and chic. It wns sad to say good bye and memory Is our only hope for we see them by It.

Tho mileage system of pay Is sub stituted for tho per diem and It gives a good-sized raise In wages to nearly every crew on the road. Urakomcn all SHedfc eMOMCetC .- 't(&i'WrY? rjyx over the system will be advanced from $12 to $1.1 n month. The brake-men on the mien, division will receive a gen eral advance of $13. The ton hour day Is also allowed for all crews on all divisions except those employed In "drill' work. These lat ter will have their wages based on the twelvo hour day. but will be allowed a luy off of one hour for meals. There Is to be no distinction between head, middle and hind brakemen as former ly. The through freights on the main line were taken as the basis of calcu lation In arranging the mileage sched ule. Conductors on these trains will receive $3.10 per hundred miles nnd brakemen $2.00 per hundred miles. Pas senger crews will receive a little l-'ss than this and local freights a lit t-s more. The speed of trains, of course, regu lated In a great measure the rate p3r mile allowed. The character ot the road also figures extensively In th? calculation. For instance, a rate of $2 per hundrel miles Is the pay for brakemen on through trains east of Klmlra, In cluding tho TUica nnd Synrcuse divi sions. On these runs the country Is level and good mileage can be mad". On the Huffalo division, where still longer runs can bo made and whers freights are run on what Is practi cally passenger train time, tho through freight conductors receive $2.70 per hundred miles and the brakemen $1.S0 per hundred mile. Although there Is a wide variance In the figures. It Is claimed that the men all over the road will receive equal pay for equal labor. PAY WILL HE THi: FAME. In other words the brakemen on the level Buffalo division will make as much ns one nnd eight-tenths cent per mile ns the brakoman on the moun tainous Seranton division who is al lowed two nnd six oin-hundredths cents per mile. One hundred mllefi Is considered a day's run. If a man runs over fifty miles he Is allowed a full day. Letn than fifty miles Is counted half a day. If a man Is called out of bed and th"n not sent nut he Is nllowed tweniy-flve miles. If the engine nnd ealioos, are gotten out he Is nllowed fifty miles.
