The vote of the weather bureau was
thrown out because of an informa,ity. and
| a report concerning the matter will be
made to the union, but. no matter wha.
may be the decision, the result. as above
stated. will not be changed
The result of the election seems 10 give
general satisfaction to the printers. and
friend of President-elect kehoe said today
Mr.. Kehoe will conduct the business OF
the office on business principles. and the
backing that he has in the union will en-
able him to do so
The result is a direct rebuke to thos,
who were liz control of affairs during ths
past year, and we confidently expect thai
Mr.. kehoes ability TO properly manage tho
hnancial affairs IF the union will be
clearly demonstrated within a short time
! as to restore Columbia Typographical
Union to the place it occupied in the con-
fdence of the business community before
the disasters OF the past few months over
took u.s.
The members of this union have paid
into the treasury thousands of dollars dur
ing the past few years. and We today
worse off, so far the affairs OF the union
are concerned, than We were several years
ago. The result of the election also means
that the union is emphatically opposed to
civil service in the government printing Of
fee i'm so far as civil service is admins
tered there. The members would not how
ever, object to civil service if the merit
system prevailed. 1t will also be the death
of the Wahnetas. and will prevent the or
ganiZation of any similar clique whose OBJ
ject was or may be the benefit of the few
to the detriment of the many"
The newly-elected officers of the union
VIII be installed at the regular meeting to
be held on the third Sunday in August.
