are irresponsible, that they are un-
faithful to any obligation or agree
ment, that they do not adhere to
agreements entered into. Hence the
employers want this financial respon-

event of their violating agreements
they can be sued In the courts for
damages. Labor unions never break

About six weeks ago the bookbind-
ers sent communication to the
pressmen and printers asking that
action be taken towards the forma-
ton of an allied body. The typo
graphical union has not yet answer
ed the letter. although Horace Brown
believes 1t is owing to the fact that
the union has had more business on
hand during tho past month than it
has been able to attend to. The
pressmen enclosed an immediate re-
ply to the bookbinders, stating that
they we're heartily in sympathy with
the proposal.
1t is understood that the men,
bers of the typographical union are
favorably inclined towards the move
ment, and that there is no doubt that
the allied body will be formed before
spring. An organization of this kind
exists in Portland and has proved of
great benefit to the printing trades
of that city.
