elected, and whose duty it will be to secure new members, can 

 no doubt greatly increase the membership by the right sort of 

 argument. If dues are slightly increased, it would seem that the 

 necessary money would easily be forthcoming. I make that 

 motion. 



Mr. Titcomb: I second the motion, although I realize the 

 larger number of men paying these dues are in reality receiving 

 half the compensation they received before the war. 



Mr. Graham: To me it would seem that the $2.00 member- 

 ship should be left as it is, but why should we carry on this work 

 for these thousands of other people who are not paying anything? 



President Alexander: It is Mr. Avery's recommendation 

 that we simply recommend to the Committee that it shall bring 

 in any report they see fit. It is moved and seconded that a 

 recommendation of this body go to the Committee to consider 

 an advance in dues. 



(The motion was carried unanimously).
