Notice is given that an amendment 

 to the by-laws has been lilert with the 

 secretary, permitting a change in the 

 dues and initiation fee. Upon order 

 of the executive committee, the official 

 badge this year will bear the name of 

 the wearer instead of only the number 

 of the firm he represents. To make 

 this plan a success, the Secretary ur- 

 gently requests each firm to send in 

 the name of its accredited representa 

 live as soon as convenient, but not 

 later than June ISth. so that as many 

 badges as possible may be inscribed 

 before the convention opens.
