THE TYPOS, ELECTION.


Labor Notes.
Typographical Union No. o. will have
its annual election of officers on Tuesday
night in STEERS Hall. Great interest is
being taken by the typos in the event,
and tickets" are being made up with
much enthusiasm. One of these tickets
dominates the popular vice president,
"Jimmie" Bowling, for the presidential
chair, and it is claimed that he can be
elected by the combined votes of his fell
HOMEWORK men in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
Office and MS friends of the Hoboken
NelrS. "Jimmie's'' genial nature may go
far toward capturing some votes In the
Journal news room, but 1t 10 said the
printers there have a candidate OF their
own in III. A. Strickland. de is strap
ping big fellow, and would make an inn
| posing Sergeant-at-arin We're 1t not
believed tint he is we'll qualified for the
more dignified Office of president. Henry
Strickland is well Thought of, and IL is
expected that he will poll the full vote of
| the Journal chapel. which. together with
some outside support. will help him TO
make good run, though not sufficient,
it is expected, TO beat Bowling.
Increasing membership and charging
duties may lead No. "a to fav0raDly con-
| slider a proposal to elect two secretaries
! instead of one, as at present. Though q
good deal of attention is being attracted
| toward this eud of the ticket the candi-
dates arc not yet spoken of.
Mr.. John McKaig, who will represent
| Hudson county printers at the convention

ING NEWS in the old days. For long
| time he was foreman OF THE SUNDAY
| MORNING NEWS and when THE JERSEY
~
assistant foremanship, in which capacity
| he serves to the entire satisfaction of his
| employers and fellow workmen. 1t is
more than likely that Johnnie will be
| the youngest delegate at Atlanta, as he is
| only twenty three years OF age.
| 1t is hoped that State Organizer for
! New Jersey may be appointed by the In
! ternational Typographical body this year.
| The printers think IL is u crying disgrace
| that there is no organization of thes1 trade
| in a good union labor city like Paterson.
! There was typo union in that city u
couple of years ago. but it has been prac-
| tically dead this long time, and its char
| ter was revoked after repeated warnings
| three months ago.
Jersey City printers say that Psssaic
county contributed some of the women
/ rats" which caused the trouble they are
fighting at the present time.

to the contrary, the Weekly Wages bill,
