ONE OF THE WAR HORSES.

P. J. Weldon, New York, No. l, one Of
the old ''war horses" among the electro
typers and stereotypers. an ex-third vice
president OF the I. T. U. and s. & E, Is
in attendance at the convention of the
I. s. & E. L. Mr.. Weldon has attended all
the conventions since 1887, and is one of
the best informed members of the union
on affairs relative to the business OF
plate making.
4 am very much interested" said Mr.
Weldon. to a Times reporter. lin the
proposition to form a union of all the
plate making crafts. to include stereo-
typers. electrOtypers. molders. hackers
up, and builders, and photo-engraver5
The 1. S. & E. L. now in convention rep
resents 1900 men; the photo -engravers,
1900, and the molders, backers-up aud
builders about 500 men. If all these
were to combine they would represen:
1900 men.
1T is purposed to have conference OF
the executive officers of these organiza-
tions this week to consider the plan.
The advantages of such an organization
would be the establishment of a joint
defense fund, the per capita assessment
for which would be 25 cents a month.
This would make a monthly fund of about
$1,000 10 be expended in helping local
unions carry on fights. Recently a local
union in New York carried on a fight
single-handed against a firm in that city.
They spent $1,000 on the fght, which last
ed eighteen months, and finally ended in
a victory for the union.
Now, If we had a general fund in the
hands of this proposed international
union to be called The International
Plate-makers' Alliance for instance, We
could carry on such fights much better
than at present. l don't know whether
there will be any action taken on this
matter this year. but l am confident such
an amalgamation of plate-makers viii
eventually take place"

RELATIVES OF MISSING
HAUNT PARIS HORGUE
List of Tunnel Horror Victims Still
Incomplete.

PARIS, Aug. 12.-The alarming rumOr
is in circulation today that the author
tiles are deliberately concealing from
the public the extent of Monday nights
disaster. and that there is still a pas
senger coach in the tunnel containing a
number of bodies.
A man named Dech, who was one OF
the first TO 90 down with the explor-
ing party yesterday. is responsible for
the statement that he saw another car
with many bodies in IL. He says the Of
fcer IN command prevented his ap-
proach. by declaring that 1t would be
too dangerous until the smoke abated.
Color is given to this report by the
fact that several employees of the COM
pany are still missing, including an
engineer and conductor. Various people
have called at the morgue to look up
missing relatives, but have failed TO
find them, as all of the bodies recover
ed yesterday have been identified. One
well known woman declares that her
two daughters, who should have been
returning home about the time the &C
cident took place, have disappeared.
The officer commanding the troops on
guard at the COuronnes station de-
cIares that he has personally explored
every foot of the subway where the ac-
cident took place and that there are
no more bodies there. The officials of
the company now say that all of their
employees have been accounted for.

Hay ever
IS Durable

This disease is the cause of many
cases of asthma, but since the medical
world has discovered that il is caused
by a germ a cure has been easily ap-
piled.
II is a we'll known fact that the Koch
'Tuberculine" kills all germ life in the
air passages, especially the bacillus
poison.
The Koch inhalation treatment is
given in nearly every large American
city. Since the system has been put
into practical use in all these cities the
success OF this treatment has been thor
oughly established.
The Koch treatment has many friends
and enemies. like all other good things
It's friends are 10 be found among those
who have investigated and tried the
treatment. Its enemies are only among
those physicians who are jealous of
every treatment except their own.
In applying this treatment the heal
ing, oily vapors are sent directly into
the air messages Laden with the Koch
"Tuberculine, they reach the very seat
Of the disease and kill the germs. Hun
dreds of testimonials are on file at the
various Koch Lung Cure offices, fur
nishing absolute proof of this state
ment
DR.. Edward Koch, the Medical Director
OF the Koch Lung Cure and inventor of the
Koch Inhalation Apparatus. which has
made 1t possible to apply the germ kill
ing Tuberculine of Prof. Robert Koch
directly TO the seat or the disease, visits
all his offices regularly in consultation.
His associates can be seen at the Koch
Lung Cure Institute, $50 18th St, Wash
ington. ID. G. Consultation is free, also
thorough examination and trial
treatment.

Notes Of the Conventions
Gathered He1e and There

added The whole is inclosed in a pro-
jecting flap and envelope and tied with
red cord. The invitation will be pre-
scented officially to the convention some
time this week. The St Louis delega-
ton numbers fifty, and is certainly the
jolliest at the convention. Nothing Is
too good for its friends, and its hos
pitality is both bounteous and original.
Yesterday several of it's members passed
through the lobby and a by standeT re-
marked that the St Louisans knew less
about the taste of water than any visit
ing delegation. The wet shops" in the
vicinity of the Columbia Theater are
certainly doing a rush business. and
many have suggested that the theater
authorities were wasting money by sup
plying ice water.

NO POLITICS THIS YEAR.

The fact that all the officers of the
International Stereotypers and Electro
typers' Union were elected last year for
terms of two years removes the posi-
bility for political connection among the
delegates to the present convention. J.
J Freel of New York. the president; L.
p Straube, the vice president. and W. q.
Williams. secretary and treasurer. are
all competent, and. in the opinion OF the
majority of the delegates, they are MAX
ing efficient officers. There is dispo-
sition in some quarters, however, to re-
duce the terms of the executive Offices
from two years to one. Delegates who
favor a change are talking the matter
over. and will bring the question before
the convention if they find they have
enough backing to put up a good fight.

pectcd. In this connection il was stated

WORKED THE DOUBLE CROSS"

The st. Louis delegation, under
Joseph A. Jackson, an ex-president and
eX-delegate, of the st. Louis Union,
claims to have worked the double
cross" on their friends from New York S
Big Six" some way or other the st.
Louis crowd heard that the New York
crs were going TO put UP a fight to
procure the next convention OF the
union for New York city. When the St.
Louis people heard this there was a
mOmentary panic, but a momentary one
only The st. Louisians went TO work
and circulated the story that they had
purchased from Tiffany of New York, a
large consignment of opals and
diamonds to be made up into souvenir
pins and TO be distributed with the
compliments of the St Louis delega-
ton. These pins when completed were
to cost about $4,000 and we're to be in
lasting remembrance" of the generosi-
ty and push" of the Missourians. The
New Workers took the thing seriously
and failed to see where New York S
chance for the convention came in if
the Missourians carried out their
threat. The opal and diamond pins were
made and delivered to the st. Louis
crowd. They Immediately began to dis
tribute them, of course always adding
what preparations were being made for
the next convention and saying many
other good things in praise of st. Louis
as a convention city. The ST. Louisans
confided the secret to a Times reporter
that the opal and diamond stick pins in
course of distribution cost about 4S
cents ner bushel
