WASHINGTON ENGRAVERS

They Meet Other Members of the Craft

liminary Steps.

Realizing the power OF unionism OF the
proper sort. engravers of Washington,
Philadelphia and New York city pur-
pose TO form an international associa-
ton within the near future for their
further protection and benefit. The pre-
liminary steps looking toward the for
nation of the organization of which
the engravers appreciate the need, have
already been taken. The exact date of
organization and the precise lines and
principles it viii be founded upon have
not yet been determined.
The Washington engravers held a
meeting in Grand Army Hall n week
ago. and the report OF the committee
OF Washington knights of the stylus
which conferred with representatives of
Philadelphia, New York, and Forest
Hill. n. j., in regard TO the proposed
international association. was submit
ted and read. The local committees was
composed of r. F. Bartle. L. A. Hill.

| from Forest Hill, N. J., were also pres
! emit
The visiting committeeman were en-
| tertained and well taken care of by the
New York engravers, and they quickly
got down to business. The plan to or
ganize on broad lines and to found the
/ association on the proper basis to ac-
complish the most good for it's mem
bers was freely discussed by the com
mitteemen, and the report of the local
committee tends to indicate that the
