of paper is nots destined to act as
balm to the local holders of spruce
claims. Many Virginians are own

WE note with certain amount of
satisfaction, as must every purchas-
ing printer, that the type-founders
stand good to get blow under the
belt from the International Typo
graphical union, which proposes
the establishment of an independ..
ent type foundry. because of the
fact that all type-founders of the
county have either been locked out
or are on strike owing to differences
with employers. This will doubt
less mean an appreciable difference
in the cost of printing supplies, the
present price of which, under
"trust" rules, is at the rate of about
a dollar for penny's worth of type
metal. With care the union can un.
dersell their trust competitors by
so per cent and still establish homes
for INDECENT printers in every coun-
ty in the states with the net pro-
ceeds. /. - 49,. & ,-..: =.
