Some Important Subjects Considered
Yesterday.
The regular monthly meeting of Typo
graphical Union, No. q. was held yester-
day, President S. II. JENNIE in the chair.
After the approval OF the minutes of the
previous meeting and the transaction of the
other routine business eleven new members
were initiated, three of them being ladies'
1t was announced that the decision in the
cases of John BRYANT and j. P. dwell, who
appealed to the International Union, had
been reversed.
The Treasurer reported receipts from dues
and initiation fees for the month amounting
to $500 IS and d ishursements amounting to
$3.50 20. BE has S35 cash on hand and there
is deposit in bank of S2297 81.
During the month 5000 so has been col
lected for assessments, of which sum the
core makers were given S10l so, the iron
molders S407 40 and the Los Angeles strikers
S5ll 20.
1t was suggested that no further assess
mentS be levied for the Los Angeles Typo
graphical Union nor the iron-molders in this
city. The reasons advanced were that $1,000
had been already contributed to the former,
who had neither acknowledged the same
nor sent any official information regarding
the strike. The irun-molders were blamed
for supporting boycOtted hotels and as they
mad received S24OU from the printers union
already it was urged that they be thrown on
their own resours es. After considerable
discussion ii was determined to investigate
the Los Angeles matter and to continue the
assessment for the present. The Iron mold
ers' Union was eXonerated from the blame
put upon it. as il was shown they had taken
prompt action in discipliniDg the offending
members of their body.
The Bnshnell-1hurman affair was in
formally discussed, as the Executive Com
mitIee were not yet ready to report. A
communication from the Council of Fed
Grated Trades was read. urging the boy
cOtiing of their paper for an offensive article
referring to that body. The communication
was tabled pending the trial Of the offend
ers on the main charge. and Messrs. Roth
child and White were elected TO fill the
vacancies created by the expulsion of Bush
nell and his partner.
A boycott was declared against the print
ing establishments of Messrs. Patterson and
Pastor, and the tailors' boycott against
Thomas S. Williams on Bush street was in

In the issue of the Engineering News of

d'Armt. Second Lieutenant, Engineers, U.

of the number 142, S57 are not peculiar to
this number but belong to all complete
repetends. that is. those repetends which
contain a number of digits, one less than
the denominator of the generating traction.
The number 142, S57 is the circulating deci-
NAL II, and. being complete may be gen.
Grated with digits in the same order from
any point, taking for the generating fraction
the number of seventies remaining at that
point; thus II, 81, 2-7. T. At. 81 are the re-
mainders at the different digiis. and any one
of the fractions will produce the same sue

produce any change of digits. Other num-
