Important constitutional
amendments were passed by the
CCL’S Winnipeg convention. Pro-
visions were made for a modified
form of block voting and per ca-
pita payments to the Congress
Were increased.

The new voting procedure pro-
yides that in a roll-call vote each
delegate shall cast one vote for
the first 100 members or less in
his Local Union, and one addi-
_ tional vote for each 100 members
or major ‘fraction of 100 mem-
bers; but no delegate shall cast
more than five votes.

Previously each delegate has
been restricted to a single vote.
This had, in previous years,
brought objection from delegates
_ who represented large Locals and
who said they were entitled to a

re proportional vote.

capita payment of national
international unions was in-
from three to five cents
from Locals directly char-
