words which we print, that men, the
poorest men, are enabled to read the
BOOK OF Life. We are daily ministers
and sustainers of the intellect and the
soul. Let us add to this noble work
by Which we earn our portion of ma
terial good, the still nobler work of
sharing with others-of giving of the
bounty bestowed upon us and often
heaped up and running over, a due
measure for the benefit of such as have
worked along our lines and failed, for.
one sad reason or another, to accumu-
late the store that would supply their
necessities in the hour of weakness and
suffering from illness or old age
Surely my appeal will not be in vain
I speak to men whose hearts are ever
open to charity'S call; who have only
to learn where and how they can lend
a helping hand. Let us stand shoulder
to shoulder, brethren of the Typothetae,
and with united, earnest, untiring ef-
/. fort, build and endow "a retreat for
our distressed fellow workers, in which
they may pass gently and hopefully
down the decline which leads to the
gate opening into eternal life.
81 leave the thought with you, and
may it move you as it has me, to the
desire of immediate action"
REPORTS OF OTHER OFFICERS.
On the conclusion of the presidents
address, the reports of the executive
committee, secretary and treasurer
were presented and read In it's re-
port the executive committee, referring
to the shorter work-day proposition,
says:
mo single question has been so thor
oughly discussed by this organization
or absorbed SO much of it's attention as
the question of a shorter work day.
Your committee calls to the attention
of the convention the fact that that
question has been effectually settled at
least for the present, by most decided
vote Of the typographical unions them
selves, taken under the auspices of the
international union, the majority
against a tax Of l per cent per day
for the purpose of creating a shorter
work-day fund being greater than the
total vote in its favor. Scarcely any
important city is reported as voting in
it's favor"

Buss, Of Cincinnati, shows receipts
during the year, including balance
from last report, $2,610.S7; disburse-
mentas, 1,250.64; balance, general fund,
