December, NATIONAL CONVENTION POST- PONED. Flint, Michigan, Nov. 7, 1905. Another slight postijonemeut of the National Convention seems to be un- avoidable. The Fat Stock Show upon which we have depended for reduced rates upon the railroad-s, has been postponed two weeks. The reason given is "the inability of the builders of the amphitheater to secure structur- al steel for the .same," and they don't wish to hold the show out of" doors hence the delay. Of course, there will be no excursion rates during the first week in December, and, as it would be -suicidal to attempt to hold a con- vention without excursion rates, the Executive Committee' has decided to postpone the convention two weeks in order to take advantage of the Fat Stock Show rates. The dates for the Convention will now be December 19th, 20th and 2ilst. The place of meeting has also been changed to the Bush Temple of :^Iusic corner of Clark St. and Chicago Ave'. This was done because it was feared that the acconunodations at the Revere House might prove too limited. The Chicago bee-keepers, with their cus- tomary enterprise and liberalitv. will pay for the use of the hall. It "is only five minutes' walk north from the Revere House, which will be head- quarters for the members. This new place of meeting is in a new building where everything is modern. There are adjoining committee rooms, toilet rooms, good drinking water, and ele- vator service both day an-d night. W. Z. Hntchinson. Secretary. ^?
