PRINTERS WILL FARM.
Chicago Typographical Union viii
buy 100 Acres of Land.

Chicago Typographical union, at its
last meeting, took decisive steps looking
TO obtaining a big tract of land for the
use of its members, and authorized the
creation of board of five farm trustees
to be voted for at the regular election of
officers in May. BY its action the union
also empowered the new board, when in
working order, to negotiate for not less
than 100 acres of land, distant between
forty and fifty miles from the city hall,
costing not to exceed $25, ,000
Since last August the land proposition
has been in the hands of the committee,
while the idea OF acquiring a farm has
been under general discussion for some
time. 1t is expected that such members
of the organization as find it difficult to
obtain employment on account of age.
Illness, or the adoption of new processes,
VIII avail themselves Of the opportunity
to become selfsuppOrting, which the
union will extend in the way of cultiva-

themselves. be free from charity, and
retain their independence
