 voting powers, and would, in general, admit men en- 

 gaged in agricultural work who were not eligible to full

 permitted to co-operate with Canadian manufacturers

 be given a place on the programme.

 vention. Full consideration will be given, and mem- 

 bers are invited to send in their opinions.
