Pressmen Association and Typographical
Union Knock Out Amalgamatio
PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-The ANAL
gamation of the International Pressmen's
union and the Typographical union has
fallen through, principally because the
former union was opposed to such
a step This decision was reached
at conference held early this
morning between three representatives
from the pressmen's union, three from
the typographical union and three from
the brotherhood of bookbinders.
After amalgamation had been knocked
in the head the representatives drew up
sreport of a sort of cooperative system
and the convention will act upon the re-
port late this afternoon.
The report is to the effect that when
ever the typos want to inaugurate strike
they Can call the bookbinders and press
men out, providing the local unions give
their consent. But the expenses of the
strike must be borne by the union inau
gurating it. The same rule applies to all
three unions.
The following officers were elected at
today's session of the pressmen's conven-
ton: President, Theo F. Gallowski, St
Louis; first vice president, Jessie John
son, Nashville; second vice president j.
A. Archer, Minneapolis; third vice presi-
dent, ]. A Patton, Toronto; secretary

ROGERS NEW MOVE.
Judge SOlon o. Thacher Brings Suit to
Gust o. L. Moore.

Judge sOlon o. Thacher Brings Suit to
Gust o. L. Moore.
Judge Solon o. Thacher today took a
new tack in the matter of Senator Will
liam Rogers claim to his seat as regent
of the state university.
A suit was filed in the supreme court
this afternoon by which an effort will be
made to oust o. L Moore, who was
named as Senator Rogers successor,
through writ of mandamus.
In the case filed today Judge Thacher
takes the position that the report made
to Governor Morrill, by a majority of
the Rogers investigation committee
was not in accordance with the evidence
taken by the committee, and that there
was no evidence taken upon which to
base legal recommendation for Rogers
removal.
1t is said that by this procedure Judge
Thacher hopes to get the supreme court
to review the evidence taken by the in
vestigating committee.
If that can be done Senator Rogers
friends are confident he can be restored
to his seat
