A communication was received re-
questing the councils Endorsement for
an aspirant to the position of public
printer. The council declined to inter
fere in the matter, and the request was
tabled. An assessment on the affiliated
unions was levied, the proceeds OF
which will be used to put out literature
advertising and urging the use of the
union label on all printing.
A resolution was adopted ealing upon
the executive council Of the Interna-
tional Typographical union to take
steps toward altering the union label,
as suggested by the ST. Paul council
some time ago, viz, by striking out
the monogram in the center and insert
ing in place thereof a series of mum
beTs, which would serve to identify
the office where printing is done and
thus considerably lessen the chances
OF successful counterfeiting and Illegal
use Of the label A resolution was also
adopted submitting to a vote of the
o. affiliated unions proposition to levy
an assessment Of One-fourth of l. per
cent on the earnings of each member
for the benefit of the union STEREOTYPE

employment since the strike early last
summer The council is DESTROYS of
changing the agreement governing the
use Of the union label by offices, but
is Handicapped by the undecided ques-
tor Of alterations desired and contem-
plated therein. However, a committee,
consisting of Delegates Deacon, Con-
- dek and PampuSch, was created to re-
pert desired amendments to the agree
z nIent.

tary to prepare the label advertising
literature, as determined upon, and to
