Ryan, Convicted Dyna- miter, Favored by Some for President Indianapolis, Feb. 26—Reor- ganization of the International Association of Bridge and Struc- tural Lronworkers, all but two of whose executive officers were convicted last September of pro- moting the MeNamara dynamite plots against “open shop” con- tractors, is planned at the asso- ciation’s annual convention which opened yesterday. The ses sions will be secret. President Frank M. Ryan who received a seven years’ sentence at the close of the “dynamite conspiracy” 4rial, and who is 1ow at liberty under bonds, pen- ding an appeal, is favored by some delegates for re-election. Joseph E. MeCleory, of Cleve-. land, acting secretary, probably will be eleeted permanent ser- retary, to sueceed Herbert 8. Ho- cKIn. MeCleory and Edward Lewis, San Franciseo, both executive board members, were the only icials of the union not con- vieted at the dynamite trial. The financial reports of the union, McCleory stated, would show that $80,000 was expended for | the trial at Indianapolis. This j}was procured through assessing lthe members. In addition, more jthan $200,000 was raised for the defenee of the MeNamaras, the fund being in charge of officials of the American Federation of Labor.

There has so far been a shortage of these, whilst those of the smaller size used by household- ers have been in more than suf- ficient quantity. Postmaster Me- Intosh is very proud of the ar- rangements that have been finally made for the facilitation of the handling of the enormous amount of mail that goes through the office. Prince Rupert dis- tributes mail over an area, larg- er, probably, than anywhere else in the Dominion. The fact that the G. T. P. carries a mail clerk on each train now, is the means of saving the office a consider- : able amount of work in sorting letters. the new office suflicient wickets have been provided to meet any rush that may be ex- pected in the next three years. Both the money order and regis- tered letter departments, are so arranged that two clerks can at- tend at each, one selling and the r cashing money orders, the same applying to the registering of letters and receiving the same. Of course at the present time one clerk can easily handle eaeh de. partment, Pantorium Pioneer Cleaners. Phone 4. BASEBALL TONIGHT Skating Rink, 8:30
