TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
w. B. Prescott Elected President and W. S
MeClevy Secretary and Treasurer.

Boston, June 1.-THE Convention of the
Typographical Union distinguished itself at
tO-day'S session by electing William B.
Prescott of Toronto President. He is the
youngest man that ever held the Office, being
q years of age. The next important fea-
ture was the overwhelming vote against a
proposition to change the law relating to
stereOtypers, electr0typers and presSmen, SO
that applications will not be sent to the
nearest union of the special trade. The
proposition was received with much oppoSi-
tion by the representatives of these trades.
When the vote of the convention was taken
it was overwhelmingly in opposition to the
report of the committee. The stereOtypers,
pressmen, electrotypers and bOokbinders
will thus retain the jurisdiction of their own
trade.
A recommendation that when printers
name is once stricken from the roll for rat
ting 1t shall not again appear there was not
concurred in.
At the afternoon session the Vice-Presi-
dent and other officers were elected. The
Secretary and Treasurer is w. 5. McClevY
of indianapolis. Among the organizers is j.
K. WinderS Of San Francisco.
In the evening the delegates were
entertained by banquet at the American
House, where Congressman Amos Cum
mfngs and others made remarks.
