The chairman and Messrs Yates, O'Donnell and Cress were of opinion that it would be advisable to put the meeting off until a later date.

It was then decided on the motion of Mr Cress that the meeting be postponed until December 19th. Mr Morris dissented from the resolution, and handed in his resignation as a steward, which was accepted.
