TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
AMENDMENT ADOPTED REMOv-
ING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
FORMER NON-UNION PRINTERS


ING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
FORMER NON-UNION PRINTERS.
Detroit, Aug. 16.-The International
Typographical Union yesterday struck
out section Of the International
Unions laws, which required that
non-printer members be permitted to
work only at the particular sub-divis-
ion of the craft in which they may be
employed at time of admission to the
union. The action was in accordance
with a report of the laws committee,
which favored eliminating the objec-
tiOnable paragraph. The sentiment of
the majority, as voiced by several
speakers, was that all incoming mem
bers of the I. r. u. ought to be taken
into the fold on equal terms. A few
held that some members of the typo
graphical crafts, tenders Of typesetting
machines, for instance, should be con-
fined to a division by themselves.
President Donnelly held with the ma
jority that member Of the union is
entitled to work in any branch OF the
trade for which he is qualified. The
motion to concur in the recommenda-
tion to strike out, prevailed by a vote
OF 122 to 33.
The committee on laws recommend
ed adoption Of an amendment that in
machine offices under the jurisdiction
OF the /. T. u, no person should be
eligible as an apprentice who IS not a
journeyman printer and a member of
the Typographical Union. except ap-
prentices in the last six months OF
their apprenticeship. This was re-
ferred to a special committee.
Convention voted to continue annual
Instead of changing to biennial ses-
sions. Several other amendments OF
minor character proposed by the laws
committee were acted upon.

the last number of the first part Of his
program, r. w. Crook, the manager
Of the company, stepped upon the stage
holding a small box In his hand, which
proved to be a beautiful medal. Mr..

Professor HOwson It gives me great
pleasure on behalf Of the members of

medal as a token Of their appreciation

your band on the mastery manner In

table manner in which you have con-
Quoted yourselves while here"
Mr. Howson was quite overcome. He
said q few words of thanks, and ther
went to the band room to tell the boys
how pleased he was. Here, however
was another surprise in store for him

look. Even a pretty face is improved by
the addition of curls, and a plain one is
softened and made more attractive by turn
ing the harsh outline into ii wavy mass, for
the faces are few that can stand the classic
severity of a Grecian couture.
The question. therefore, is how to manage

nied-the pretty, ripping tresses which will

considers the discomfort of sleeping on
knobs of hair and takes to the inevitable
the curling irons. To obtain most satisfac-
