rather striking. The price of compost
tion on morning newspapers was fixed
ut 80 cents per thousand, but subse-
Guently it was increased to 35 cents.
The following year the scale was raised
to 81 cents.
After presiding over the destinies of
the union for several months, Mr..
Greeley resigned. He was succeeded by
Edgar Il. Rogers, who, in turn, was fol-
lowed by Francis J. Otterson.
The news of the success of the New
York printers union reached other
cities, and eleven months after it's forma-
tion, printers from various states met in
this city for the purpose of forming
national union. The movement failed,
however, and the delegates adjourned to
meet in Baltimore the following year.
There it was decided to again adjourn,
owing to the limited number of dele
gates present., and Cincinnati was
chosen as the next place of meeting.
In 1852 the National Typographical
Union was formed in Cincinnati, and
grew apace, until the formation of the
present International body. The late
Thomas J. Walsh was one of the first
three delegates to the national body
from this city, the convention being
held in Pittsburg in 1858. He also rep
resented the union at the convention
held in Buffalo in 1854. and again in
1860, at Nashville. In 1861 there was
no convention. A great many members
of the union enlisted that year, and
several of them we're identified on the
battlefield, am told, through their
working. cards. Several hundred printer
soldiers are still active members of
Greeley Post, G. A. R., and the prospec-
tive war with Spain reused their old
time war spirit to tho exciting point.

The Mesaba consolidation
has got control of another mine,
the Sellers at Hibbing. The
people who had the lease could
buy ore from the Consolidated
cheaper than they could mine
the ore, pay the royalty and
pay additional tribute to the
railroad monopoly. The pro-
gram now is evidently to freeze
out the independent miners
and gain control of all the
mines worth shipping from.
Then the railroads can listen
to propositions to reduce rates;
they will be able to take it out
of the price of the ore.

THE time OF GREELEY
An Interesting Bit of History
of the Early
Typos. J
How and When the First Union
Was Formed .-Greeley
President.

A brief history of the first typo.
graphical union in America may prove
of interest to the craft, especially to the
younger element. Among my "histori-
cal relics" are many valuable documents
bearing on the subject, from which I
have compiled the following narrative.
Typographical Union No. 6 entered
upon it's forty eighth year on January 1,
1898, and, from a benevolent society,
has developed into tho most powerful
trades union in this country. The first
working card was issued to Charles W.
Colburn. 1t bears the signature of
Horace Greeley. Like Lincoln, Mr..
Greeley never signed his christian name.
His chirography, to use the vernacular,
was "something fierce," but, when writ
ing his signature, it was not so bad, his
capital III" being printed with three
strokes of the pen. Many good stories
of Mr.. Greeley's editorial copy have been
related, but all have been printed and
reprinted so often that they would
prove of little interest in this brief his
tory.
In December, 1949, Charles w. COL
burn, William L. Stubbs, Lysander B.
Young, William H. Prindle, John L.
Brown, Robert D. Dach, w. A. Dodge,
George A. Colburn. Francis S. Otterson,
William M. Newman, I. D. Boys, Samuel
Sloane, Edgar H. Rogers, Robert Gun
ningham, Richard G. Kimber, and
others, met at Stoneall's, in Fulton
street, for the purpose of forming a
union. The hall in which they met ad-
joined the old Herald building, but the
structures of long since given way to
buildings of huge dimensions. Several
preliminary meetings were held, and a
permanent organization was affected on
New Years Day, 1850. Horace Greeley
was called upon to act as the unions
first executive. It is said that Mr..
Greeley was somewhat reluctant to &C.
cept the presidency, but that he finally
gave in to the entreaties of his enthu-
siastic admirers.
Mr.. Greeley was elected president by
acclamation, and when he appeared for
installation there was great rejoicing.
There was no obligation to administer.
He;simply called the meeting to order,
stating the object and aims of the Or
ganization, and closed his brief address
with these words:
stand here. my friends, to urge that
a new leaf be turned over; that members
of the art preservative of arts, instead of
idly and blindly waiting for better cir
cumstances and better timee, shall be-
gin at once to consider and intelligently
discuss the means of controlling circum-
stances and commanding times by study
calculation, oresight-union.
Let us all unite in placing the New
York Typographical Union in the front
rank of trades unions in America.
Although the organization was at first
conducted as benevolent society, it
rapidly developed into a genuine trades
union. Its first recording secretary
was William H. Prindle, Robert Gun,
ningham being chosen financial secre
tary.
A committee was appointed in March,
1850, to draw up scale of prices. Com
pared to the present scale its contrast is

Plot to Beat County.

attorney w. B. Phelps, who
is retained by the county board
in the tax cases, told the COM
missioners Tuesday that there
was plot by large landholders
to beat the city and county out
of the taxes. He also said it
was singular that the county
Jared so poorly in tax cases
brought before Judge Moer.
The basis of the supposed
plot is in the law permitting
tax title to pass on satisfaction
of the states claim. The land
companies have been letting
their taxes go with the, inten-
ton of bidding them in for the
amount of the state tax which
is about one-tenth of the whole,
and let the local tax, which is
the other nine-tenths, slide.
And Attorney Phelps thinks
they have induced others to
take the same course and
arranged to make it uncom-
Portable for anybody who inter-
feres by overbidding them.
It is not surprising that no.
body is found to admit that
such a plan has been perfected.
However, the remedy for the
city and county is simple
enough. They need not bother
about any conspiracy. It is
only necessary for them to do
what every mortgage does,
bid enough to protect their lien.
When the land comes up for
tax sale, let the city and county
have arrangements complete
to bid the full amount of the
tax. IF anybody else bids over,
we'll and good-the municipal
tiles have their money. If no.
body overbids, good also. The
city or county then has the tax
title; it's lien is protected. It
has only to pay to the state it's
quota, and that is not an insur-
mountable difficulty.
That policy of bidding in tax
titles is, in fact, one thatshou1d
long ago have been adopted.
The city and county might then
have farming lands within the
city limits, on which settlers
could be put on long term leases
for no more than the amount of
the tax.

PUBLIC: OWNERSHIP.
1t Grows witt, Gigantic Strides
in Many of Our
States.
In the Recent Elections Public
Ownership is Victorious
in Many Instances.

iOnly a few years ago it was
eccentricity or foolishness, il
not red handed anarchy to pro-
pose municipal: Ownership Of
franchises. 1t was proved over
and over that cities could not
manage their corporate bust
ness and that it would be an
unwarranted invasion of vested
rights and democratic institu-
tons for cities to attempt it.
Little by little,-and trades
unions have not been the least
factor in bringlngit about-our
cities are beginning to see that
they must control their fran
chises and many of them will
not be satisfied with anything
less than out-and-out rnanag ge-
ment and operation.
In Milwaukee this week the
question turned largely on the
municipal ownership of public
utilities. The people won on
that issue. What Pingree has
done in Detroit in the last five
years is too we'll known to need
further comment. In Chicago
when it was proposed to give
the streets to the franchise rob-
bers men offered to cruelty any
politicians who would consent
to it.
In St. Lo,1is a new charter-is
pending in which a clause has
been introduced making it
practically impossible for the
city to abandon it's duty in the
water works. It says that be-
fore the city can sell, lease,
farm out or rent out the fran
chise or plant, the proposition
must be recommended unani-
mously by the board of public
works, must be passed by a
majority of all the members of
the council, must be approved
by the mayor, and must finally
be ratified by a fve-sixths ma
jority of the vote cast at a spe-
cial election. All the other pre-
cautions might be in vain but
you can trust the people. St.
Louis will not be betrayed
while that charter stands.
In fact the provision with re-
gard to the popular vote need
not have been so carefully re-
stricted. It is we'll that the
principle of the referendum is
recognized. It might have
been more fully adopted by al
lowing people to sell their
birthright at pleasure by a
bare majority. And you may
be confident that the corpora
ton beggars would much
sooner get the unanimous
recommendation of the board
of works and the consent of
the council and the approval of
the mayor than a majority of
the people.
However the plain fact from
these and a hundred other
illustrations is that the NUM-
cipal idea is growing. It is not
yet half grown. London, that
overvast city which was until a
few years ago, formless and
frameless, is far ahead of any
American city in it's provision
for civic needs. There is not
one of our cities that has begun
to realize what it might do.

The Gray estate objected to
paying a sidewalk assessment
down on Rice's point, because
the estate consists of saw-mill
property which has no use for
sidewalks. However, rather
than make fuss, they would
pay one-fourth of the assess
ment. And the council ACCEPT
ed the offer.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1898-04-09

In Duluth we have learned
much. We have learned that
Duluth has no more franchises
to give away. Those bestow ais
from the public estate which
were once viewed complacently
as though they developed our
resources, would not be tolera
ed now. It is agreed that out
standing franchises should be
recalled as fast as possible.
Much progress has been made.
The gas and water company
almost belongs to the city after
she tedious struggle of seven
years. Most of all the people
have been accustomed to look
beneath the surface and see
the real relation of things in
certain cases. They can't be
fooled about municipal fran
chises. But that is only a be-
ginning. Thought must go
further. The same principles
are capable of far wider app1i-
cation. The municipal idea is
growing and Duluth must be
alert to grow with it.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1898-04-09

done that have not come any
where within the municipal
scope. And there are a hun
dred sources of revenue which
ought to belong to the cities
and are yet allowed to go to
private tax collectors. IF they
were half utilized our cities
might be run for the benefit of
the people who live in them, as
city should be, and still have
less taxes than now, or no taxes
at all.
