The convention Of the international
stereotypers and Eiectrotypers' union today
adopted an agreement to be presented to
the United Typothetae.
Business of the Convention.
Among other matters under consideration
was a trademark and others relating to
time and wages. The stereotypers and cleo
trotypers spent the afternoon with the typo
graphical convention. to which they had
been accorded seats.
Consideration Of proposed changes in the
laws OF the union were considered all af-
ternoon and until late tonight. Amend
ments were adopted against working for
less than the scale OF the union, against men
recommended by supply agents. and against
granting label to unions where the scale
falls below $40 per week. Several changes
were made in laws regulating labels as
to FIRMS violating any union laws. Various
amendments also were made regarding
membership cards and dues.
Animated discussions rose over the
proposition from the Indianapolis Typo
graphical union:
The secretary-treasurer shall publish
monthly In the typographical Journal an
itemized statement OF all allowances to Of
ficers or members, giving date of payment,
and which shall include the number OF
days for which per diem Is charges. num-
ber Of days for which hotel expenses are
charged and the amount OF railroad fare.
The committee on laws reported adverse
ly on the proposition. giving as Its reasons
that there was already ample provision in
the laws for auditiHg all accounts and the
protection Of the union. 1t developed in the
long discussion that the amendment was
not aimed at the officers, but at certain
member of the union at indianapolis who
had been employed as an organizer and
whose appointment was opposed by a fac
tion in the Indianapolis union.
There was an exciting discussion over an
amendment providing that no person is
entitled to membership in typographical
union who is a member of any state mill
tia. The sentiment was generally expressed
against union men belonging to the militia
but many OF those holding these views did
not want the typographical union to go
on record against any part Of the govern
ment or against any individual rights. The
amendment was defeated by a viva voce
vote which indicated q large majority
against the proposition.
