THE UNION PRINTERS, SHORTER DAY

1t is not generally known that all the
unions connected with the printing industry
and the organization representing the en-
ployers in what are known union offices
came to an arrangement at the recent meet
half hours shall constitute days labor
in such offices after Nov. 81. The matter
of change of wages, if any shall be made,
is left to the employers and employees in
each locality, but the opinion seems to pre-
vail that there will be little or no change.
This action is significant for several rea-
sons. First. it proves that one of the most
intelligent classes of employers and en-
ployes are able to consider the question
of hours and arrive at an agreement which,
for a time, binds both. and this in an in
dustry in which there is the sharpest COM
petition. Second, it indicates successful
movement TO establish a shorter day of
labor. Third, it proves that the conserva-
tive and intelligent representatives of an
organization like the Typographical Union
can do vastly more for the welfare of wage
earners than agitators who foment strikes
and demagogues who assume the role of
the champions of labor.
The action is significant in another way.
Two years ago the International Typo
graphical Union, or its representatives,
would not have seriously thought of ask
ing for a shorter day of labor in printing
establishments. They were glad to get en-
ployment for many men as possible when
the hours of labor were shortened by lack
of employment. 1t is because printing
houses have much better business than
they had two years ago that tho printers
union asks and employers of printers agree
to the adoption of shorter day. 1t is
possible for the one TO ask and the other 10
comply because confidence came TO the
business of the country with the election of
William Mckinley two years ago. stmu-
lating industry and increasing employment
In every direction. That this is the case is
proved by the fact that the improvement be-
gan the week OF the election two years ago.

A CONSPIRACY AGAINST VETERANS.

The Democratic state committee, by its
lawyers, has caused proceedings to enjoin
the officers in the precincts in Grant county
which include the National Home for Dis
abled Volunteers from receiving the votes
of the 2,20o men who are living in that in
stitution. These men have no other home
or residence. They will live there the rem
nant of their days, and when they die they
will, for the most part, be buried in it's
grounds. 1t is their poverty and helpless
ness which has caused them to go to that
institution to live. All of them are worn
out; many of them suffer from wounds
received in defending the life of the Union.
The names of a. large part of them are to
be found on the muster rolls of Indianas
regiments But for that home not a few
of them would now be in the county poor
houses because of their poverty and help
lessness.
Such are the men whom the Democratic
managers are trying to disfranchse; they
now have their injunction proceedings be-
fore the Supreme Court by appeal from the
decision of the lower court. Next week the
case will be argued before the Supreme
Court. such well-known Democrats as
Greene Smith and Frank Burke appearing
as the advocates of Acknowledgement They
expect a decision DISTINGUISHING these 2,2O0
Union soldiers because a majority of the
Supreme Court is composed of men who
vote the Democratic ticket. Indeed, two of
the three judges who are Democrats are
candidates for reelection. Public attention
has been called to this matter, and the peo-
pie of Indiana will watch the court TO see
if two members of it will allow themselves
to pass upon this case, upon which their
election might possibly turn. The bringing
OF the suit of itself is an outrage, but the
people will wait with solicitude to see if
two members of the court of last resort
will participate in a decision which inter-
ests each of them personally as much as
If they were to hear and decide a case which
involves the gain or loss of thousands Of
dollars to them.

while their following is not so great as it

TO be a menace to national prosperity and

duties being to ladle out fresh milk from
the cans to a line of waiting soldiers, TAX

the milk supply, lest fever germs be thus
brought into It. Another worker in this
kitchen was Miss Finneran, who journeyed

THE CENTRAL WEST.
One of the Richest and Most Produce
tive Regions in the World.
Bonds and Mortgages.

BOndS and Mortgages.
1t would seem as though the prosperity of
the great empire known as the central West
IS bound to have a lasting influence upon
the interest basis at which money can be
employed in this country. All of our mu-
nicipal securities, as we'll as railroad bonds.
have been selling on a lower interest basis
during the present year than al any time
during the history of this country. The
question whether present low rates are per-
Nmanent is one on which financial men are
hound to differ; the fact remains. however,
that the small investor who wishes TO place
his funds safely. the executor of estates and
the trustee has very serious problem to
deal with in deciding to take long time
curitieS at present prices or allow funds to
lie idle hoping for a changed condition that
will make it possible to get better rates for
money.
A well-known Scotch gentleman. an inter-
national financier of high standing who
MADE trip through these States and to
the Pacific coast last spring. when the crops
were. just out of the ground. spoke of the
middle West as one of the richest and
most productive sections In the world, and
expressed the belief that its influence on
the future of this country would be very
great. He had in mind especially the great
trunk lines which had their origin and draw
their sustenance from the farms and fac
tories of the Middle States. He said he be-
lieved that the time was past when that
rich territory where Great Britain had in
vested so much money during the past
twenty or thirty years. would be obliged to
pay rates for money that would make the
securities appear attractive to British cap
ital. In his opinion the great cities of the
central West were entitled to about as high
a degree of credit not only as our Eastern
cities. but as the average city in Great
Britain, and that owing to the prosperity
so apparent there now and so likely to con-
tinue. there would be a strong local demand
for their securities.
An illustration of the impression the West
now makes upon a fair-minded Eastern man
is the statement made by a New York
banker who made his first Western trip this
season His conclusion was thus terseiy
expressed: IF they had discovered the
mil ire q r
lantic coast would still be bowling wilder

There Is good reason to believe that the

confidence which is general in business
