There are twenty-three local societies
making up the national bund and they have
a total membership of about 1,800 and an
aggregate capital of Sal 06S. This is the
seventh annual meeting, the bund having
been oragnized in Dayton June 6, 1891.
The business transacted yesterday was
chiefly of nature interesting only to men,
bers of the organization. There was a
by the German International Typograp hical
Union against the official organ, the Ba-
dsche Landes-Zeitung. 1t was charged by
the union that this paper, which is pub
lished in New York, had discharged union
printers and employed in their places nom
union men. The result of the discussion
yesterday was the adoption of a resolution
that this paper be discontinued as the off,
cial organ. 1t may be that the bund will
decide to publish a paper to represent it.
This question will be settled to-day.
A committee was appointed to report a
number of minor changes in the conStitI-
ton and bylaws which were discussed yes
terday. The report was made a special or
der for this afternoon.
