Kansas City, May 1.-THE convention
OF the International Association Of Ma
chnists, which has been in session her,
!. for the past week. with delegates pres
eut from all parts Of the United States
and from Canada, adjourned today t.
meet two years hence at Buffalo. n. Y
An executive board, appointed last night
will remain On session for another day &c
consider minor matters.
No business was transacted at the
closing session
A resolution, demanding tbs control Of
tenders Of typesetting machines had
been prepared for introduction by one OF
the members. but il was decided at the
| last moment not to bring the measure
1ip. The adoption Of the resolution would
| have meant war with tne International
Typographical union. which also desires
the prerogatwe Of debating to employing
printers who use the Mersenthaler Limo
type machines, the class Of worimen, or
mackinsts, who snail look after their
machines.
| The resolution declares that only MEN,
ber5 of the Nachintst union shall be
ellgitiel to tend the linotype machines:
| that there shall be one machinist u each
printing Office TIA. has at least six ma
chimes; that fo- every six machines in
an Office there shall be one machinist
and that where there are less than six
machines member Of the typographical
union may be employed to tend the ma
chimes and work as an operator.
The delegates 10 the Machinist's con-
van:ion contended that man, to prop
crly discharge the duties Of that position,
should be skilled machinist.
The printers meet this argument with
rhe statement that The most expert ma
chinist in charge Of linotype machines
in Chicago was formerly drug clerg.
shop.
