ternational Typographical Union to-
day reconsidered the proposition Of
Delegate Bendlow Of Cleveland bear
ing on politics, which was adopted yes
terday. The measure as recomr end
ed was killed, the vote being two-thirds
against its adoption. The proposition
called for unit action OF the /. T. U.
upon the political field and the sever
ing Of all members of their afhliation
with all political parties Of the exploit
ing class.
A resolution Of interest to publishers
was adopted. as follows:
Resolved, That 1t Is the sense Of the
International typographical Union
that subordinate unions should adopt
concillatory measures at all times
when changing their scale Of prices,
and that before any change in scale Is
adopted, 1t should be submitted to all
publishers who are interested. Also
that the International Typographical
Union. when requested. shall allow a
representative Of the American News
paper Publishers Association to be
heard on important changes in the laws
affecting their interests.
The report Of the committee on tri-
partite agreement was referred to the
executive council. The International
Printing Pressmen's and Bookbinders'
unions have already appointed COM
mittees. The three committees will try
TO agree on some plan to avoid friction
in the issuance OF the joint label and
trades.
The convention adjourned sine die

day received letter from Mrs. James
b. Neal, wife Of Dr. Neal. now in Che

There is one good Chinaman in the
world. He is Captain Sab OF the Chi

ty-six Of us American women and

ing five miles out in Tsung Chow har-
bor. Captain Sab gave assistance to
Captain Wilde Of the Oregon when the
latter grounded, and In recognition Of
his services. Captain Wilde gave the
Chinaman letter. bearing an Official
seal, that for saving and guarding
Americans at Tsung Chow Captain
Sab and his ship were under American
protection.
while we We're still on board the
Hal Chi a Russian man-of-war started
In her direction. But Captain Sab ran
up the Stars and Stripes as Captain
Wilde had told him to do, and the Rus
sian ship turned promptly away. There
were twenty-six American women and
children Of us to cheer and cry as Old
Glory was unfurled from the stan Of a
Chinese warship."

Milwaukee Aug. l5.-The Interna-
tional typographical Union to-day vot-
ed TO meet next year AT Birmingham
Alabama. An amendment to the con
stifution was adopted providing for q
censorship by the executive council of

or pamphlets. rejecting on the standing
Or character. private or public. Of ans
member or members Of the Inferna-
tional typographical Union
Members violating this clause shall
be subject 10 trial and fined. suspended
or expelled on two-thirds vote of the
members
The object of the proposition is TO
control in measure much Of the mat
ter printed in labor papers.
Other matters acted ON to-day Were
the Endorsement Of the Women's Label
League and the adoption Of legislation
prohibiting speed contests, either by
hand or machine.
Milwaukee. Aug 17.-in the Interna-
tional Typographical Union conven-
ton. to-day, resolution was passed de-
claring the /. T. L. TO be distinctly a
class organization, and that to sub
serve their interests as wage workers
IL is essential that they act a. unit
upon the political field. whence capital
derives It's power to oppress. and that
IL Is the duty Of every member to sew
er affiliations which are constantly en-
croaehing upon the liberties of the
working people.
At the afternoon session the PROPOSE
ton of the stereotypers and electro
typers TO withdraw from the !. r. L.
was lost. the vote being 1O1 TO 81. II
seems TO be the sentiment Of the stereo-
typers and electrotypers to withdraw
from the /. I. L.. in case the referen-
dun to which the legislation must be
referred goes against them.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the executive council to communicate
with the proper officials at Washing

ernmeDt establish printing offices Of it,
own In all territory under the flag and
to abolish the system of sub-lettlnc To
