BRAMWOoD's REPORT.

Washington, Aug 1O.-The report of J. w. Bramwood, secretary-treasurer of the International Typographical un- ion, for the. year ended May 31, 1908, shows that the receipts for the year in- cluding the balance in the treasury July 1, 1902, of $3s,O72, amounted to $223, 3,255. The expenditures were $174,- 0S5, leaving a cash balance in the treasury on May 31, 1903, of $49, ITO, an increase during the fiscal year of $11 O97. The increase ip the aver age paying membership during the past year was $4,O72, the largest in the his- tory of the organization. Per capita tax was paid on an average member ship of 42,486. n
 | A tabulated statement of the num- Der of charters issued, reinstated, sus- pended and surrendered shows a net gain in membership of 2,O31 from this source. During the fiscal year just closed 159 new unions were chartered, one was reinstated, two suspended, and eighteen surrendered. The total in- crease in the number of local unions is given at .14O, while the total number of local unions is given as 40, while the total number of bodies subordinate to the international union on May 31, 1903, was 600.
 Death benefits paid )durfng the year numbered 476, involving an .expendi- ture of $30,94O. The receipts of the fund were $7,318 in excess of expendi- lures, leaving a balance to the credit of the fund of $14,933. The secretary believes the international union is now in position to raise the death benefit to $7O without increasing the per capita tax. l.

THE BALL PARK HORROR.
Five Additional De@ths at the
 Quaker City.

Qu@kGE C1tys
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10. = Five additional deaths occurred yesterday as the result of the accident at the Philadelphia National league baseball park, making total of nine fatalities.
 Two hundred victims were treated at the various hospitals, and 1t is believed that fully 100 more received attention at various drugstores in the vicinity of the baseball grounds. Of the injured stiI1 in the hospitals five are said to be in 8 critical condition.
 Two games were scheduled between Boston and Philadelphia, and the at traction drew over 10000 persons to the ball park. The accident was in- directly due to a quarrel between two drunken men in the street. The Ma tional league stands are built of steel and brick, the brick wall extending en- tirely around the grounds. At the top of the left field seats and extending from the grand stand to the end of the bleachers there was walk about three feet wide which overhung the street.
 Men who were standing on the walk were attracted by disturbance in the street. They leaned over the side of the railing to see what was the trouble, and this drew the attention of other spectators sitting on the top rows of the bleachers. A rush was made to see what the other spectators were looking at.
 The walk became overcrowded, and without a moments warning the 200 feet of. it fell to the sidewalk, twenty feet below, carrying all who were on 1t. There were probably 5000 persons sitting in the left field bIeachers, and the roar made by the falling timber created panic. Instantly the specta- tors rose en masse and made a rush down the stand and into the playing field. It was one great black wave of humanity. Men and boys climbed over one another in their efforts to escape from the grounds. Not knowing what had occurred, the ball players and oth- CTS tried to stop the mad rush, but they were swept aside in their unsuccessful efforts.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 10.-Since the Carnegie library was erected in Ale gheny a set of chimes has tolled the hours, the halves and the quarter hours.

On lighting a match they found man seated hold ing the wires which rang the chimes. In the other hand the stranger held a bottle, and he repeated the lines: "Curfew shall not ring tonight! The bells annoy me. want to see the fall of Pompeii."

J. M. LYNCH'S REPORT
Head of International Typographical Union Presents Interesting Paper.

Head of International Typographical
 Union Presents Interesting Paper.
 Washington. Aug 1O.-The report Of President James M. Lynch was pre- sented to the assembled delegates or the International Typographical un- ion. He says the past year has been a notable one, not only for the Inter national Typographical union, but tor organized labor i'll genral. "Ehe splr- it of organization" he says, "has pre- vailed in trades and eallings hitherto almost unknown, while the older or gantzations have made steauy pro- gress and gained in membership"
 The report dwells on the benefits ac- cruing from organization and MT Lynch urges the adoption of some plan whereby the isolated printer working in localities supporting from one to six brother artisans, but not enough to warrant organization, may De reached. Tn such cases he suggests that such men be attached direct to the parent body.
 The report expresses at the tendency on the part of trade undonists to make light of the unions of employers and questions whether it would not be bet ter to display a tolerant spirit toward them in the hope of establishing friendly relations. Surely" he says, i've cannot deny to others the right which we claim-the right to organize and 1t is not aside from the proba- bilities that through this era of organ iZation may come the era of peace"
 MT Lynch observes that the work for the future lies in the extension of the work and scope of the lnterna- tfonal Typographdca union by added benefits to its members in the way ot financial relief, the renewal of de- mand for better sanitary conditions of the work room. insistance on the proper instructions for apprentices and the advancement of the union Ia bel.
 The report refers to the arbitration agreement with the American News- paper Publishers association, which has been dn force for over two years. and says that all but two disputes have been settled in a fairly satdsfac- tory manner and that there is a much better general feeling between the two organizations
 President Lynch makes his address to the American Newspaper Publish ers' association a part of his report Of trade union incorporation he says the convention might we'll adopt @ law forbidding local unions to incor- porate except under exceptional con- ditions and with the sanction of the executive council of the International Typographical union.
 After expressing diEapproval of the action of some central labor bodies in boycottfng union newspapers because of their editorial policy, President Lynch refers to the abuse of the right of appeal; the failure of the efforts to secure the passage of an eightrhour law by congress; the establishment of printing offices on the factory plan in small villages; the fourishing con- dition of the printing business not wffhstanding the continued introduo- tion of improved machinery; the ne cessity of every member becoming a union missionary; the Amos J. Gum innings memorial movement; the wig orous prosecution of the campaign for label text books; and the report of the copyright committee.
